Hey William,<br>
<br>
A low cost microarray spotter would be a cool project, although we'd<br>
still have to be able to fragment, amplify and dye our oligos or<br>
whatever. I am definitely all for advocating novel uses of inkjet<br>
printers though :) (I worked at a microarray company so I'm really<br>
familiar with how much of a pain in the ass it is to print these<br>
things).<br>

^^ here's an interesting paper/thesis on microarray and low<br>
cost microarray fab<br>
<br>
Let's get together sometime and talk!<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
