Piezo Pulse Amplifier

I am working on a system that will drive a piezoelectric inkjet head.
A microcontroller and a digital-to-analog converter is being used to
produce a controlled pulse shape (a specific rise time, hold time, and
fall time).

This pulse then needs to be amplified from 5 volts to the 15 to 30 volt
range. The pulses will have rise and fall times in the 1 us to 20 us
range.

I have seen a solution that uses the Apex line of high voltage/high slew
rate opamps but I think those might be over kill and I am looking for
something cheaper.

Does anyone have any implementation suggestions?

Sincerely,
James McMillan
