When this carbon is ground to such an ultrafine state to fit through
the nozzles of these printers and produce 2880 dpi resolution, and
even in variable sizes, you know they are not in a normal state either
molecularly or even chemically with the other ingredients added to
them for viscosity and suspension. And its all secret stuff, just like
Tang. The important thing for me is that all the values of a print
react similarly over time.
