Do inkjet printers handle the simily waveform well?
Inkjet printers use very low power stepper motors to move the head
and paper,
and very tiny heaters to make the ink bubble up.

Epson inkjets do not use heat at all, but piezo elements to push the
ink out.
Better, allows more more types if ink, and is faster, and allows for
better control
of the droplets.
Yes I have couple of Epsons:-)
But their service sucks as it is non-existing.

I had an Epson. Replacement ink cartridges were cheaper than other
brands too, because the piezos were permanent parts of the printer and
not built into the cartridges. I didn't use it often enough, and when
the nozzles clogged up, the printer's life was over.

I have an Epson all-in-one, which works great except that if even one
ink colour is low, it won't let you do _anything_. On Saturday it
wouldn't even let me _scan_ until I replaced the yellow ink.
