Why it matters: Filed before microfluidic components and embedded control systems became widely accessible and precise. These advancements now make on-demand, controlled ink mixing significantly more practical and cost-effective.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: ModerateFluidic pumps, mixing chamber, control electronics
