Digital BW, The Print

As I understand it, inkjet print heads are either piezoelectric or
thermoelectric.  I think their are adavantages and disadvantages to each.
HP wide format printers are (at least in the past) known for their high
quality thermal head printers.  ColorSpan (my printer)  uses HP thermal
heads on their printers, thus my interest in your post.
