Just keep in mind that the inkjet head featured in that contest is not 
the kind in your normal printer. It is a rugged industrial head used for 
package marking, ticketing and such. It has only 12 nozzles. Your normal 
inkjet will have at least 50 on the black cartridge alone, and drive 
them in a matrix (the head used in the contest is straight driven).
