Ok, let's try it again :)

"Poise" is the unit of measure for viscosity. Centipoise = 1/100 of a
poise.

Water is 1, Olive oil is 100.

Here is a link: http://www.sizes.com/units/poise.htm

UV curable inks are thick, high solids liquids. The main benefit is
that they have very little solvents, and therefore have low VOC's.
Volatile Organic compounds are not enviromently friendly and are
monitored by the government.

The arer probably too thick to run through a home inkjet printer.
