Paintball technology at its finest:

From Recyclism’s Youtube Entry:

The PrintBall is like an Ink-Jet printer using a PaintBall Gun as printhead. The gun is mounted on a custom made pan & tilt unit which is connected to a Max/Msp based software through an Atmel chip [programmed in Basic]. The software allow the users to load and analyze images. The resolution of the image and the space between the point [definition the image] can be adjusted.
Because the document is printed from a central point the number of steps by points send to the pan & tilt, which is moved by two stepper motors, one for each axes horizontal and vertical, determine the space between each point.

[Thank you, Fresh Creation!]
