A method of fabricating a three-dimensional (3D) object includes atomizing a pre-polymer composition into an aerosol jet stream. The pre-polymer composition includes an epoxy precursor and a photoacid generator. The method further includes depositing the aerosol jet stream onto a substrate to form a first layer of dielectric ink and curing the first layer of dielectric ink using ultraviolet (UV) light. The method further includes depositing the aerosol jet stream onto the first layer of dielectric ink to form a second layer of dielectric ink. The first layer of dielectric ink and the second layer of dielectric ink overlap by at least 50%.

An ink set has two or more aqueous pigment-based inks, each of which has 75-95 weight %, a) one or more pigment colorants, and b) one or more water-miscible humectants that are present in a total amount of at least 1 weight % and up to and including 20 weight %, and consist essentially of compounds, each of which has a carbon atom to oxygen atom ratio of at least 1.0:1.0 and only two hydroxy groups. The weight % amounts of water and the b) water-miscible humectants are based on the total weight of each aqueous pigment-based ink. The aqueous pigment-based inks in the ink set can be used individual or in combination to provide monochrome or polychrome inkjet-printed images on various ink-receptive media and using various inkjet printing equipment and methods.
