more commentsWill there be a Braille edition?
How about a rubicks cube edition?
Mark Wheadon, that’s like asking what the point of a painting is. It’s a work of art, you buffoon.
where can i get one ???
All of my want. This and that color capture pen are like a match made in heaven. I seriously want to have both. So anyone know where to get them?
coolness
Is there any info anywhere about the actual printing process?
How dare they call it RGB color atlas? I suppose then it’s not simple CMYK, but even with Pantone and stuff they are still far from all colors of RGB.
Offset printing (even 6-color offset “hifi” color) is incapable of reproducing wide gamut RGB color models, let alone “all colors in existence”, which even wide gamut RGB display technology can’t do either. For example, there are people who are tetrachromats with four color receptors, even if you want to narrowly define “color” as what humans see.
A pretty piece of art, despite its flawed premise.
Does anybody want to buy any drugs? From me?
