Week #8 Explaining Science...sort of

How does a printer work? Well there must be at least a trillion tiny inkspitters (which are little bugs that literally spit ink) that only spit black ink until they get hurt. When a inkspitter gets hurt, it will spit out a different color of ink which is where we get colored ink. The cartridges that we put into the printer contain a bunch of inkspitters and when the inksspitters die, that's when we have to change the cartridge. They feed off of dust mites that get into the printer. When the computer sends a message to the printer, the inkspitters start moving around extremely fast and that's when they decide to start spitting ink. When the computer is not sending a message the inkspitters just sit around and sleep until they get a message.
