Inkjets that used oil-based inks first began to appear on the scene in 
1997 as printer manufacturers began to seek ways to boost throughput 
speeds for inkjet printers. After a new generation of high-speed piezo 
printheads shorted out when exposed to water-based inks, printer OEMs 
began to investigate alternatives to water. Oil-based inks were appealing 
because they provided an easy way to build inkjet printers that could 
output graphics at higher rates of speed.
