I'll keep that in mind as I persue this. I did get an email from one 
company, they said there info on the web was of extreme prototype 
parts, and that they are not really ready for Alpha testing. I of 
course offered to try them out anyway, I don't need a pump chamber 
that is completely optimized just to move the ink. Working and with a 
few ml per minute flow should be enough. Charging the heads will be 
the biggest demand on a pump, even high speed printing can't be more 
than about 1-2 ml per minute.
