RepRap is more than 3D printers. Even if RepRap were only about 3D printers, many 3D printers are based on inkjet technology: 3DP 3D Inkjet Powder printer, Y-Tec Plan B, Pwdr printer, and so on...Quote

You might be in the wrong forum for that information. Ink jet heads don't work anything like 3D printers.

Thanks Matt, I actually have stumbled upon johnrpm's DIY printhead forum in reprap . That is why I am posting this question here. As you mentioned, there are a few fascinating forums and wikis regarding DIY printheads but if I can, I am not really trying to build a printhead from scratch because as I was checking the pictures these DIY printheads seem to be quiet bulky for my honeycomb mesh structure. Preferably I want to find a way to control/hack already existing high resolution printhead.Quote

There are a lot of great projects and resources about hacking inkjets and building DIY inkjets on the RepRap forum+wiki:
Forum:
* DIY printhead
Wiki:
* Scratchbuilt Piezo Printhead
* Reprappable-inkjet
* Heated Piezo for Jetting Wax
jjoll, are you able to use two separate inkjet mechanisms, one for each color, and then scan them into place over the regions where you want to deposit ink?
