NOVELTY - Controlling volume of many droplets, comprises: dispensing the droplets in a drop pattern on a first substrate; positioning a second substrate in superimposition with the drop pattern on the first substrate; applying a first force to the second substrate, in which the first force positioning the second substrate in contact with at least one droplet on the first substrate forming a capillary liquid bride between the first substrate and the second substrate; and applying a second force to the second substrate.    USE - The methods are useful for controlling volume of many droplets or at least one droplet on a first substrate and reducing droplet volume on a first substrate, where the droplet includes polymerizable material, biomaterial or solar cell material (all claimed).    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - Controlling volume of many droplets, comprises: dispensing the droplets in a drop pattern on a first substrate; positioning a second substrate in superimposition with the drop pattern on the first substrate; applying a first force to the second substrate, in which the first force positioning the second substrate in contact with at least one droplet on the first substrate forming a capillary liquid bride between the first substrate and the second substrate; and applying a second force to the second substrate, in which the second force substantially disrupting the capillary liquid bridge to form from the droplet at least one reduced volume droplet on the first substrate and at least one reduced volume droplet on the second substrate and the reduced volume droplet on the first substrate has a first volume, and the reduced volume droplet of the second substrate has a second volume. INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are included for:    (1) reducing droplet volume on a first substrate, comprising: positioning a droplet on the first substrate, in which the droplet has a first volume; positioning a second substrate in superimposition with the first substrate; contacting the second substrate to the droplet, in which the second substrate and the first substrate separated by a first distance; and separating the second substrate from the droplet forming a first reduced volume droplet on the substrate, in which the first reduced volume droplet having a droplet volume less than the first volume; and    (2) controlling volume of at least one droplet on a first substrate, comprising: dispensing a drop pattern on a substrate by a fluid dispense system, where the drop pattern has at least one droplet with a droplet volume; positioning a second substrate at a distance from the first substrate, in which the second substrate contacting the droplet forming a capillary liquid bridge; separating the second substrate from the droplet to substantially disrupt the capillary liquid bridge with at least a portion of the droplet volume being transferred to the droplet volume (DV)-substrate.
