I have seen the picoliter (fineness of print)  and the milliliter (content
of ink tanks) being used by all companies who sell bubblejet or inkjet
printers here in The Netherlands and I think it is all the same in the EU.
Thank goodness, it is not picogallons and/or our old friend the US fl.oz, as
in that case the slavish and never-asking-questions computer magazines would
tell us "the fineness of print is measured in picogallons (pg)  and the
contents of ink tanks is measured by the US fl.oz".  Just as my magazine
states that computer ventilators are rated in CFM, more ifp trash from the
computer industry for our consumption. I wonder whether I will get an answer
to my message I sent a copy from to the list in USMA 17782.

(But on a positive note, I started seeing a nice "new" measurement in the
computer industry, the pL - picoliter - to express how fine bubble jet
printers can print!  Nice going, Canon!  Hopefully this trend will catch
up!...)
