Matt Gillilands book Inkjet Applications is a hobbyist and educational accompaniment to this kit. The book includes a Foreword by Frank Cloutier, HPs inventor of the ink printing process. The first chapter details the timing sequence to fire inkjet nozzles and the different supplies in the Parallax kit. The contents of the book include several standalone control circuits, BASIC Stamp control, SX control (using the SX/B free compiler), making the Boe-Bot a Typer and Paintbot along with additional tools including the Edit-Ink free software and Parallax Serial Inkjet Printer kit.
