Inkjet: Putting the Right Pieces Together

The other day, someone asked me “if I could simplify high-speed, wide-format, aqueous inkjet in one simple explanation what would it be?” So, like many times before, I referred back to a trusty childhood toy: “Mr. Potato Head.”

The toy can be purchased in various marketing styles, like Star Wars, Halloween, sports and super heroes. Regardless which theme you choose, they all come with three main parts—a head, feet and arms that create the physical appearance, as well as accessories such as eyes, mouths, ears and noses to create the look and feel. The choices and placement of the accessories creates the finished look of the toy.
