The multi-drop method with a good droplet quality is a big challenge in inkjet technology. In this study, optimization of Drop on Demand (DoD) inkjet printer waveform design was conducted. The effectiveness of the waveform design, so-called W waveform, from previous study as a preliminary vibration for the multi-drop ejection method was investigated. The unmodified W waveform was proven not to be an effective waveform for lower viscosity of liquid, especially when compared by the standard waveform obtained from a print-head manufacturer. Edible ink with a viscosity below the optimum range for print-head specifications was employed as the operating liquid. The preliminary vibration W waveform was modified to improve the droplet quality of the edible ink. It was proven that a 40% adjusted voltage of the rear wave of the W waveform was effective as the optimum waveform design for edible ink. The droplet quality of the multi-drop ejection method for grey-scale technology was improved by optimizing the W waveform design.

A conceptual design of a drop-on-demand(DOD) micro metal droplet print head, which is characterized as the non-heat affection of piezoelectric actuator and a desirable controllability on droplet condition, is devised. With a 2D axisymmetric model and a VOF model, the droplet evolution is simulated for understanding the mechanism within. Parametric studies are followed to investigate relationship between droplet condition and print head parameters for realizing accurate control of droplet condition.
