<p>A method for use with a slide coater (34) including preparing a first coating fluid (55) and flowing the first coating fluid down at least a first slide surface (53) of a slide coater when coating of the first coating fluid onto the substrate (18) is desired and flowing a minimizing fluid down the at least first slide surface when coating of the first coating fluid onto the substrate is not desired. The minimizing fluid has a composition which minimizes drying of the first coating fluid on the at least first slide surface. This invention applies to imaging, data storage, and other media.</p> |
