Book excerpt: Now for the first time, you too can unlock the secrets of Thermal Inkjet printing. INKJET APPLICATIONS will show you how to design and build circuits that drive the HP 51604A inkjet cartridge. Most any microcontroller can be used, including the BASIC Stamp 2 and Parallax SX. Circuits include single nozzle firing and alphanumeric printing (fonts included). Non-typical applications are outlined as well, like "Typer" and "Paint-Bot" - robots that print text or they can "shoot" an opponent with ink drops - up to four inches away. INKJET APPLICATIONS was written by Matt Gilliland, author of the popular "Microcontroller Application Cookbook" series. The Foreword was written by Frank Cloutier, and tells the story of how Thermal Inkjet technology was developed. Mr. Cloutier was the leader of the small team that persued this "interesting discovery" at HP labs.
