Most commercial and industrial ink jet printers use a piezoelectric material in an ink-filled chamber behind each nozzle instead of a heating element. When a voltage is applied, the piezoelectric material changes shape or size, which generates a pressure pulse in the fluid forcing a droplet of ink from the nozzle. This is essentially the same mechanism as the thermal inkjet but generates the pressure pulse using a different physical principle. Piezoelectric also called Piezo ink jet allows a wider variety of inks than thermal or continuous ink jet but the print heads are more expensive. Piezo inkjet technology uses s tationary heads, which are built with robust construction and are designed for high volume production, faster print speeds, and lower costs. There is a drop-on-demand process, with software that directs the heads to apply between zero to eight droplets of ink per dot and only where needed. As of November 2008, the fastest cut-sheet inkjet printer on the market is the RISO HC5500, which prints 120 full-color pages per minute and utilizes ComColor color management technology. The RISO HC5500 printer uses six pico litres per ink droplet.
