1. An apparatus configured for printing maxels, the apparatus comprising:

  • a first magnetic print head comprising a first flat electrical conductor having a first plurality of electrically conductive layers forming a first hole and a first inductor coil, wherein said first hole extends through the first plurality of electrically conductive layers,wherein said first flat electrical conductor has a first conductor width extending from an outer perimeter of said first hole to an outer perimeter of said first inductor coil,and wherein said first flat electrical conductor has a first conductor thickness,and wherein said first conductor width is greater than or equal to twice said first conductor thickness;

    a second magnetic print head comprising a second flat electrical conductor having a second plurality of electrically conductive layers forming a second hole and a second inductor coil, wherein said second hole extends through the second plurality of electrically conductive layers,wherein said second flat electrical conductor has a second conductor width extending from an outer perimeter of said second hole to an outer perimeter of said second inductor coil,and wherein said second flat electrical conductor has a second conductor thickness,and wherein said second conductor width is greater than or equal to twice said second conductor thickness;

    at least one first circuitry configured to position said first hole of said first magnetic print head adjacent to a first location on a first surface of a magnetizable material where a first maxel is to be printed and to position said second hole of said second magnetic print head adjacent to a second location on a second surface of said magnetizable material where a second maxel is to be printed, wherein said first surface is opposite said second surface; and

    at least one second circuitry configured to interact with said first magnetic print head to print said first maxel at said first location on the first surface of said magnetizable material and to interact with said second magnetic print head to print said second maxel at said second location on the second surface of said magnetizable material.
