Abstract

Methods for ejecting fluids having a viscosity ranging from about 20 mPa-sec to about 100 mPa-sec at 22° C. from a micro-fluid ejection head. The methods include the steps of applying a heat signal to the ejection head for a first period of time to heat the ejection head to a first temperature that is about 20° C. above a steady state fluid ejection temperature for continuous or intermittent fluid ejection from the ejection head; and subsequently, applying a firing signal to ejection heaters on the ejection head during which fluid ejection from the ejection head occurs.
