The PingPongPrinter prototype by Vern Graner and Rick Abbott. Uses the Parallax Serial Inkjet print head kit and the EFX-TEK Prop-2 board. Prints text on Ping Pong Balls. The printed balls are used as "ammo" for the PONGINATOR! :) Read all about it in This Month's Nuts and Volts magazine (www.nutsvolts.com)!

@AustinNRG - We did an experiment trying to print on golf balls but the ink in the inkjet cartridges was not "permanent" - it's designed to be used on permeable surfaces (such as paper). In short, though it would print, it would rub right off. :( We theorized we could print on a golf ball (or other ball made of impermeable surfaces like bowling balls etc) and then coat the printing in a coat of clear lacquer to protect it. We never did make a machine that would print and coat - yet. :)

Heh! I hadn't thought about that. IIRC those were laser engraved wooden spheres...? :) I think laser engraving ping pong balls would make for some interesting pyrotechnics!
