Digital BW, The Print

I agree entirely! And apart from that... NO-ONE would be using this whole
technology if someone had called it an 'inkdrip printer'! Not even 'turbo
inkdrip' would have worked...

Similarly, maybe LASER printers would not have gone so far had they been
called 'Static printers'?

But what if inkjet printers had instead been called 'paintjet' or 'artjet'
or 'piezojet' (i.e. dereferencing the technology or the ink, and instead
focussing on the result... or the technology). Would we be dealing with
different customer reactions now?

How much does a name influence customers???
