Another WICKED AWESOME invention that proves we live in the future

You know that tool in most photo-editing programs that lets you sample a colour in what you're working on and then use it? It's usually called a "colo(u)r-picker"?

Here's one that works in real life. You hold it up to something you want to sample the colour of, scan that, and the pen reproduces the colour in its ink.

Is that not wonderful? 8D

Well, they're only using three inkwells, it looks like, of RGB, so possibly each individual colour can be refilled when it's down.

I'd hope so! But what I meant was that these inks have to mix somewhere. And when you switch colours, what happens to any amount of ink that was still mixed for the last colour...?

No clue.
