It is worth noticing that highly volatile solvents lead to remarkable clogging of the inkjet-head as a consequence of quick solvent evaporation and polymer/nanotube precipitate formation in the nozzles. Since the nozzle clogging is different for each ink composition, the comparison between inks cannot be made directly by the print repetitions. To correlate the amounts of polymer and nanotubes in the different printouts we printed patterns with each ink on transparent PET foils and measured the corresponding optical transmittance spectra in the infrared region, where the absorbance originating from the SWCNTs is negligible.
