Ink-jet Technology
Overview
Thermal ink-jet technology involves applying heat to a tiny
measure of ink until it expands and forms a bubble. As the
bubble continues to expand and burst, it is propelled
through one of the nozzles on the ink cartridge. This process
is repeated up to 8,000 times per second.
The monochrome ink cartridge on the Color StyleWriter
6500 contains 300 black nozzles. The color cartridge
contains 64 nozzles of each color (cyan, magenta, and
yellow).
