Last update: January 23, 2010

Overview

Description

Through hands-on activities, visitors learn how inkjet printers produce tiny, precise drops of ink. They examine printed paper with magnifying glasses, see a few demonstrations of how liquids behave differently at the small scale, and see an explosive demonstration of how ink is forced out of an ink cartridge.

The programs offered here were vetted through a process of prototyping, audience research, and in-depth partnerships with scientists.
