Haven't We Seen This Before?

This seems beyond implausible.

Not implausible, simply illogical for most, but not all people.

The machine will duplicate what most people can do,

But, not all people.

This would be a big help for those who cannot manually pick up, use and put back into a holder markers, but can have someone else periodically change their cartridges for them.

This product would help disabled artists, enabling them to work without an assistant to be literally at their elbow doing the same thing on voice command. So, it could replace a human at a nominal cost and enable a disabled artist the oppertunity to experiance what non disabled artists experiance, working alone.

Look further. Unless this is something new actually developing this concept, there was a faux version in the past.

I seem to remember something similar being advertised a few years ago. But I'll take the claims with a grain of salt. A large one (possibly the size of Lot's wife...).

Why? Because of the experience I had trying to match custom mixed paint with the metal flashing on some windows installed in our house.... After four attempts to have the guy mix the color up according to their computer, I gave up in disgust: every time the paint ended up too blue a green (I could EASILY see the difference, but the computer couldn't...).

Really interesting concept but not something valuable for me, after all, who wants a ball point? (I also share the skepticism of others about whether this will actually work).

So basically this is a jet printer nozzle without the nozzle. Jet printers fire tiny cmyk droplets onto the paper without actually mixing the inks. The human eye/brain does the "mixing".

Anyone who's ever tried mixing ink or paint knows how unpredictable the result can be.

I doubt this concept will ever work, certainly not in a package the size of a pen.

This seems like it's just a rebranded Scribble Pen.
