The problem is, I think, that inks based on a suitable solvent just aren't
likely to be very good for inkjet mechanisms.  The bubblejets work by
thermally vaporizing a small bit of ink (sensitive to the solvent), and I'd
think that anything but the most exotic solvents would be prone to drying
up in the printheads on other types of inkjets (well, even on the
bubblejets.)  For most inkjets, the absorption of the paper is an important
factor in the printing process (thus the need for special paper, special
CDs for CD printers, special transparencies, etc.)
