← ScienceWhich mechanism reduces ink spread when printing on porous paper?
A)Viscous damping overcomes capillary forces✓
B)Surface tension minimizes fluid motion
C)Turbulent diffusion accelerates drying time
D)Osmosis alters fiber hydration balance
💡 Explanation
Viscous damping reduces ink spread because it limits the movement of the ink within the paper's pores, resisting capillary action; therefore the ink stays defined, rather than spreading due to diffusion.
