I've seen the "Thinkjet" and am impressed.  The reservations
about special paper apply to all true ink-jet printers; the
technique requires a short-fiber paper with high surface
absorbancy.  BTW, the Olivetti "jet printer" is NOT a true
ink-jet-- it transfers dry carbon from a stylus via some
kind of controlled arching (spark-jet printing??).

One caveat: the "Thinkjet" will not be available with an
RS-232 serial interface until later in the year, maybe even
next year.  This is direct from a HP salesperson.
