I should mention it was a very interesting and informative phone call. The guy I got (think the name was RICK) tried keeping me on the phone for as long as possible (normally, if they hear "I wanna buy something for $60 the call ends quick). He said, one of the clients is using the heads to print a silver- conductive fluid onto the boards, which are then heat-cured in the oven @ 130 degrees 7-15 minutes. This solidifies the fluid. I said "oh, like solder-paste?" he said "yes". So somehow- these printers are printing silver to BLANK (i mean NO COPPER) fibreboard and printing the traces right on it for oven cure. No etching! The piezo head technology is pretty much the same as what epson uses. He explained alot about the chemistry and physics involved with the thermal print-heads (hp technology) and how those heads wont work for many fluids as the heat alters the molecules in such a way. Unlike most big companies I call which try to get me off the phone once they found out I wasnt "the sony corporation" or someone else big trying to buy a million dollars worth of stuff, this guy kept trying to fill me with more and more information. If you are at all a bit interested, I strongly suggest giving them a call, tell the telephone operator you want to speak with someone about the piezo heads. The engineer I got on the phone was extremely enthusiastic about his technology and ready, willing and happily explained all aspects of the process in precise detail.
