Not to mention the writing systems to break down when to fire 1 of 2000 nozzles or orifices to squirt such a small amount of ink, things to be measured would be drop weight, velocity, energy, pulse widths, pen to paper spacing, along with aero dynamics of a moving print head and drop placement, etc... All so you can print a picture and have it appear on paper. Also the term paper was reinvented hundreds of times so when such a small drop hit, it did what it was suppose too.; 8:27 AM, December 17, 2007
