Scaling Behavior of Pattern Formation in the Flexographic Ink Splitting Process

Scaling Behavior of Pattern Formation in the Flexographic Ink Splitting Process

We considered pattern formation, i.e. viscous fingering, in the ink splitting process between an elastic flexographic printing plate and the substrate. We observed an unexpected scaling behavior of the emerging pattern length scale (i.e., finger width) as a function of printing velocity, fluid visco...
