I'm pretty sure from my dealing with
epson inkjets those guys are _realy_
yet to sort out the problems :D

Canon on the other hand - they might
almost be reliable with inkjet.

However in terms of reliabilty.  Ink
jet is a LONG way down the food chain
from laser.  And laser is a long way
down the food chain from impact dot
matrix with a tractor feed (if you
consider the print head a consumable)

Yep - First class plan.  I always
learn to walk before I can run.

But *IF* one electrode gave good
results.  Then two electrodes would
be faster.

And *IF* two electrodes worked -
then 32 might be a goal.

I am not saying I am competant
enough to pull it off.  I sometimes
have a hard time pouring drinks
into LARGE glasses.  It would be a
miracle if I could make something
that was 0.01mm wide and realiable.

:D
