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.


An Epson printer's life is over the moment you make your first print ...

Bull**** :-)


I
have lost count of the number of them that I have drop-kicked down the
garden.

Well, do they grow there????

The trouble with them is, they are full of features, and cheap, so
every time I wear out an HP after 6 or 7 years, I get enticed into buying
another Epson, thinking that they can't still be in business by being stupid
enough not to have finally sorted out the irretrievably clogged head
syndrome ... How wrong and stupid *I* continue to be :-\

Na, my oldest Epson is a Stylus Color 460, is older then your HPs,
works OK, apart from a bad contact in the chip socket that requires
re-inserting the big DIL chip every now and then, should
really fix this some time.
But it is noisy.
My Epson R200 is also many years old, end very very quiet.
