This paper is concerned with the experimental ability to measure viscoelasticity of low viscosity ink jet fluids and demonstrates the capability of both a piezo axial vibrator and torsion resonator rheometer to capture high frequency rheological data for both model and commercial ink jet fluids. Results are presented for polymer and particle laden suspensions together with a commercial ink. The data demonstrate that high frequency linear viscoelastic rheology can be captured using both rheometers and that both the presence of polymer and particles can induce viscoelasticity within the fluid. It is believed that the physical origin of viscoelastic effects produced by the presence of polymer or particles is different, and this results in a different high frequency limiting slope for the G(') data.
