Dear Don,
Thank you very much. Congratulations to you and the TIMP team. That is
wonderful news!

Please keep us all informed about your progress. It brightens the day to
hear about 
others sucess!

Best,
Lisa

>The emerging technology of inkjet has been used for the manufacture of

>variables affecting the inkjet subsystems; printheads, inks, substrates,
>print algorithms, curing and motion control of a special inkjet machine.
>The
>design methodology showed how the system and the output could be improved,
>and, in particular, the concept was shown that knowledge of the haptic
