The Hewlett Packard Indigo printers are not inkjet printers, they are 
printing presses. They have rotating drums that get ink on them and then 
press the ink onto a piece of paper. It is genuine offset printing, and the 
inks are printing inks, which more closely resemble pigment than dye. 
Electro-ink is not the same thing that you would put into a Heidelberg 
press, but it more closely resembles that than anything else.
