Which outcome causes erratic droplet formation in inkjet printing when the system approaches high throughput limits?

A)Capillary wave amplification occurs
B)Fluid inertia overwhelms viscosity
C)Piezoelectric fatigue becomes prevalent
D)Nozzle clogging by dried ink

💡 Explanation

At high throughputs, inertia increases relative to viscous forces. Therefore, transition to turbulence dominates because the Reynolds number exceeds a dimensionless critical value, rather than capillary waves or clogging which occur through surface tension or evaporation.
