The Hummink capillary printer utilizes a very small diameter glass pipette to hold a printing fluid. A tuned harmonic oscillator allows the pipette to be held at a constant distance from the sample surface, allowing capillary forces to pull the printing fluid to the sample surface. 

 

Watch this Hummink video for a visual description of the process.
