Digital BW, The Print

Nij, Splendid posting!

I wish I had a Turbo Paint Jet 7000 installed with PiezoBW Carbon Total Pigment Inkset.  

Naming question is a good one.  Too bad the Epson company didn't start naming their printers like they do their cars...now that would be interesting...

"I have a Black Swan Inkdrip printer....what do you have?"

"A Squid Ink Model 2."

"Me? A Fugu Puffer Printer!!" 

Smiles everyone..

Steadman

  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???
