"Poise" is a unit of measure for viscosity -- centipoise is 1/100 of
a POISE. Water is 1 and olive oil is approxiamately 100.

Here's a link:

UV curable inks tend te be very thick, high solids liquids. They
reduce the VOC's (Volatile Organic Compound) released to the
atmsophere.

One way to reduce the viscosoity is by heating.

Most likely too thick to run through a home printer printhead.
