Text Box: Now for the first time, you can unlock Hewlett-Packard’s secrets of thermal inkjet printing. Matt Gilliland, author of the Microcontroller Application Cookbooks and the original Parallax What’s a Microcontroller, has teamed up with Parallax and HP to show readers how to build and program circuits that drive the HP51604 inkjet cartridge. The circuits in this book include single nozzle firing (continuous lines) and alphanumeric printing capability (three fonts included). Robotic applications with the Boe-Bot, such as “Typer” and “Paint-Bot” demonstrate text or simple graphics on any flat surface, or how to “shoot” an opponent with ink droplets! For customers needing to control the print head for packaging, experimentation or production this book provides the knowledge and examples you need to save countless hours of experimentation. Contributors to the book have reported: “This book was written to encourage you to build upon some of our early ideas. Its aim is to provide a shortcut through much of the perspiration, while hopefully providing seeds of inspiration.” Frank Cloutier, Chief Technology Office for HP’s Imaging and Printing Group ”This is incredible print technology that we’re going to use in the packaging industry. We are adapting it to a new product line that we are patenting and launching early next year.” Bob DeMatteis, Inventor of the plastic grocery sack, author “The HP51604 inkjet cartridge can print on eggs, wood, or any porous surface. And the Boe-Bot is the perfect mechanical mounting system for the print nozzle – have you ever seen a robot that prints text? Matt will show us to do this!” Ken Gracey, Parallax Inc.
