What about not being a bubble jet printer? Aren't all HP print

You're confusing BubbleJets (Canon) with InkJets (HP/Epson). The former
use a heating element per pixel, the latter use a piezo element.
But the end result is still a bubble of ink.
No, a droplet.
More precisely... A picoliter sized droplet.

A bubble-like droplet.

The bubble is what forms on the heating element, pushing the ink droplet
out of the nozzle.

Well the result is the same. A jet of ink whether it is ousted by a
buzzing piezo or heating device. I don't think the two are as
dissimilar as night and day on a molecular level.


However, a DROPLET of ink is what hits the paper, not a "bubble of ink"
as was stated.
