Here is what Mallory suggested: Instead of using inkjets, build a printer with six trained kittens (one for each color) to run back and forth on the media with ink on their paws. You need to show them a picture of the art and yell, “Release the kittens!”
Sounds reasonable, and everyone likes a kitten.
