This book was a real eye opener for me. It is well written and easy to follow in terms of how to construct these simple and powerful printing devices. I enjoy the writing style and the context that the author is able to provide on how inkjet works.
Perhaps the most compelling part of the book is the "Foreword" written by Hewlett Packard's Chief Technology Officer. This kind of prose is inspiring to all hobbyists and educators who might choose to buy and use this book. HP turned its little inkjet invention into a massive business that has enjoyed many years of success.
This book enables the hobbyist or the teacher to plug into that environment and devise new inventions based on the exact same technology that is described in the foreword. This is a great book that enables the reader to get started very quickly in configuring their own printing device. And once that first step has been taken, innovation and creativity follow soon after.
I recommend this book highly to hobbyists and educators and anyone who might have an interest in projects involving the Basic Stamp microcontroller. Matt Gilliland has written an excellent book to get us all into the invention mode.
