Typically, a coffee - ring shape arises, due to the pinning and associated outward capillary flow. For operational reasons, this is undesirable ? a flat topography is required. The aim of this work is to understand the important groups governing the shape, to provide a practical guide to ink selection. The theory presented is based on a thin-film lubrication model. The governing equations are solved numerically and continuously track the lateral progression of a liquid/gel front. A large capillary number or large ratio of initial to maximal polymer volume fraction can suppress the coffee-ring. White light interferometry is used to confirm these findings experimentally. ; This research has been funded by the Engineering & Physical Sciences Research Council, UK and CASE studentship funding from Cambridge Display Technology Ltd., UK.
