Extended Data Fig. 6

a, b, Because of the finite output channel length, Lo, and inertance in the system, a delay occurs when switching between materials. This delay can be corrected by introducing an offset length (a) and during parallel printing of horizontal lines in silicone (black) and wax (white) (b). Scale bars: bottom, 1 mm; top, 8 mm. c, Offset-corrected printing of resolution grids using silicone and wax inks, showing increasingly smaller features (from left to right) and thus high switching frequencies. Scale bars: bottom, 1 mm; top, 5 mm.
