notes: label: Description
content: This small, rugged printer, dubbed ThinkJet for thermal inkjet, was introduced in 1984 and intended for individual computer owners. vAccording to Hewlett-Packard,tThe invention came about when an engineer working on developing thin-film technology for integrated circuit applications was testing the response of a thin silicon-based film to electrical stimulation. The electricity superheated the medium, and droplets of fluid lying under the film were expelled. Fine control of these jets of fluid might make it possible to print documents using relatively little power on a relatively inexpensive device.
