For drug loading, inkjet printing enables highly precise droplet positioning. However, droplet drying influences drug crystallization from printed drug solution. This study investigates how evaporation-driven phenomena affect the precision and homogeneity of inkjet-based deposition of a crystallizing drug into exemplary micro-reservoirs. The aim is to guide the selection of suitable solvents and inkjet process parameters. Methods: Laser-drilled micro-reservoirs were fabricated as blind holes with entrance diameters of 100 \u00b5m and 400 \u00b5m in the surface of specimens of EN 1.4404 (equivalent to AISI 316L) stainless steel, a commonly used biomaterial. The reservoirs were loaded with two different drug solutions using piezoelectric drop-on-demand inkjet printing. Acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) was applied as a model drug representing crystallizing small-molecule drugs. Solvents with markedly different evaporation rates, ethanol (EtOH) as a representative high-volatility solvent and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) as a representative low-volatility solvent, were selected. The number of jetted droplets per dispensing step was varied. Precision and homogeneity of the drug deposition were investigated using light and laser scanning microscopy. Results: Over the course of droplet drying, two phenomena, the coffee-ring effect and creeping, can impair drug deposition quality. The coffee-ring effect leads to inhomogeneous, ring-shaped drug deposits. Creeping is the evaporation-driven spreading of crystalline structures and reduces the precision of drug deposition. The EtOH-based ASA solution (c = 10 g\/L) was intensely affected by both phenomena. Inhomogeneities could be partially compensated via tailoring the droplet count per dispensing step. The DMSO-based solution (c = 100 g\/L) exhibited a more compact crystallization of ASA (requiring ~20% less volume in an exemplary experiment), no coffee-ring effect, and only minor creeping. Conclusions: The DMSO-based ASA solution enabled a more precise and homogeneous drug deposition than the EtOH-based solution under the investigated printing and crystallization conditions. EtOH-related limitations could be counteracted by controlling the number of jetted droplets per dispensing step.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jfb17080420","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,20]],"date-time":"2026-08-20T10:55:18Z","timestamp":1787223318000},"page":"420","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Inkjet Printing of Drugs into Surface-Embedded Micro-Reservoirs for Drug-Releasing Implants: Influence of Solvent Properties on Deposition Behavior"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"17","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3748-4275","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Robert","family":"Mau","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Microfluidics, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Marine Technology, University of Rostock, Justus-von-Liebig-Weg 6, 18059 Rostock, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7099-8502","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Georg","family":"Schnell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Microfluidics, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Marine Technology, University of Rostock, Justus-von-Liebig-Weg 6, 18059 Rostock, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Paul","family":"Oldorf","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Schwei\u00dftechnische Lehr- und Versuchsanstalt (SLV) Mecklenburg-Vorpommern GmbH, Alter Hafen S\u00fcd 4, 18069 Rostock, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3401-0090","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hermann","family":"Seitz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Microfluidics, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Marine Technology, University of Rostock, Justus-von-Liebig-Weg 6, 18059 Rostock, Germany"},{"name":"Department Life, Light and Matter, Interdisciplinary Faculty, University of Rostock, Albert-Einstein-Str. 25, 18059 Rostock, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e2309164","DOI":"10.1002\/adma.202309164","article-title":"Inkjet Printing of Pharmaceuticals","volume":"36","author":"Awad","year":"2024","journal-title":"Adv.
