There was a company in West Hartford CT which was pioneering a piezo ink-jet head with extremely fine "resolution" -- Accent Color Sciences (now bankrupt). There were a couple patents filed by them in 1999 and 2000 which describe the remarkable resolution of the print head. Look under assignee name (AN/Accent) field in the advanced search engine at the www.uspto.gov While there was a lot of interest from some of the cell phone manufactures, (if you wanted, you could change circuitry on the fly) the economy took its toll.
