Hi
I'll happily put my hand up and say I've been out of printer development for 5 years now, so I wonder what it is about piezo that now makes it the only tech capable of small drops? Canon's FINE heads had no problem with 1 picolitre. Have Epson gone suddenly a long way under a picolitre?

That advantage from the article sounds like marketing fluff. That's something they have all been doing for donkeys years.
