A method and device for transferring ink to a receiving material using an inkjet printer having an ink chamber with a nozzle and an electromechanical transducer in cooperative connection with the ink chamber, wherein the transducer is actuated to generate a pressure wave in the ink chamber to expel a volume of ink from the nozzle, the pressure wave being such that it induces splitting of the ink volume into a first and second ink droplet, wherein the transducer is actuated such that the volume of ink that is forced to be expelled from the ink chamber experiences a supercritical acceleration in the direction of the receiving material, whereafter the transducer is actuated to retract the second droplet into the ink chamber.
