For those interested, the current issue of Popular Science has a rather
larger article devoted to the ink-jet printer and how it has spawned
technical growth in the 3D prototyping arena.
The article goes in depth on how an ink-jet printer works (thermal vs.
liquid), which then leads into descriptions of how the concept is used
for things other than squirting ink on paper.
Good reading!
I believe it's the issue on newsstands right now. The cover is about
speed records.
