*'''Stamp volume defects (shrinking or swelling)''' | *'''Stamp volume defects (shrinking or swelling)''' | ||
Volume defects of the stamp are common in microcontact printing. Shrinking can occur during the curing process, and results in a PDMS stamp differing slightly in size from the master. Use of organic solvents during wet inking can cause swelling. Ethanol is a commonly used solvent as its swelling effect is minimal. | |||
