A template‐free strategy to fabricate concave microstructures by inkjet imprinting is demonstrated by Y. Song and co‐workers on page 3286. A sacrificial ink is printed onto viscoelastic surfaces and imprints its shapes to construct microstructures. These results open a new way to fabricate concave microstructures and broaden their applications in material patterning.
