There are two types of white - the one that holds a number of colours and the electronic white which doesn't. A counter criticism for this - IF there was only one type of white (the one you're talking about), then black and white televisions sets would never of existed.Quote:

On topic. It does actually look pretty neat :P Not sure if it will be too popular though, I can see the novelty wearing off.
I just hope you can get different templates for the background e.g. graph paper, lined paper ect.
Yeah, one white exists under CMYK where how white or black is defined by K, where as under RGB (Or the way light works) the amount of white and the amount of black is defined by the combination of R, G and B.Quote:

Well by definition there is only one type of white.Quote:

Yeah that would be a good idea.Quote:

Hmm, hard to tell from the photos of it :/ It looks like it's using grey tones to possibly to show how hard the pen was pushed, maybe?Quote:
