A microfluidic printing apparatus including at least one ink reservoir; a structure defining a plurality of chambers arranged so that the chambers form an array with each chamber being arranged to form an ink pixel; and a plurality of microchannels connecting the reservoir to a chamber. The printing apparatus further includes a plurality of microfluidic pumps each being associated with a single microchannel for supplying ink from an ink reservoir through a microchannel for delivery to a particular chamber for viewing; a moveable viewing and ink transfer assembly including a transparent lens and a transparent ink receiving element secured to the transparent lens, such assembly being effective in a first position for permitting a viewer to view an image and, in a second position, to cause ink to transfer from the chambers to the transparent ink receiving element; and the assembly is positioned after the ink has been transferred so as to be able to transfer ink from the transparent ink receiving element; and ink is transferred from the transparent ink receiving element to a receiver.
