It's both.   It reacts with moisture, binding it and causing clotting.

One of these agents is called fibrinogen.

It was apparently the August 2005 issue of Pop Science.   I clearly  
recall that at least one of the two agents studied reacts with water.

Oh well, whatever.   The UV setting resin seems more interesting  
anyway.   I've got a jar of some resin that does that on the shelf,  
it's used in 'doming' in the sign industry.

It would be tricky getting the resin to work with a off-the-shelf  
inkjet though.   It has to be kept in darkness or it will start to  
set up.
