Is it science fiction? Maybe, but right now it&#8217;s the claim made by <a href=\"http:\/\/cronzy.com\">Cronzy<\/a>. And if you want your mind blown, check out this video:<\/p>\n<p>As you&#8217;ve probably already gathered, this pen uses a scanner based in one end, that when paired with an app on your smartphone, allows you to select the color that the pen writes in. To mix that color, there&#8217;s what appears to be a CMYK ink cartridge in the pen itself, and it somehow is able to mix those colors on the fly to output the colors you want. It even has multiple tip sizes, so you have lots of options on that end as well.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d3ui957tjb5bqd.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/2016\/08\/11221109\/16-million-color-pen-001.jpg.webp\" alt=\"16 million color pen - 001\" width=\"680\" height=\"476\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-38480\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d3ui957tjb5bqd.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/2016\/08\/11221113\/16-million-color-pen-002.jpg.webp\" alt=\"16 million color pen - 002\" width=\"680\" height=\"476\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-38483\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d3ui957tjb5bqd.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/2016\/08\/11221118\/16-million-color-pen-003.jpg.webp\" alt=\"16 million color pen - 003\" width=\"680\" height=\"697\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-38484\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d3ui957tjb5bqd.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/2016\/08\/11221123\/16-million-color-pen-004.jpg.webp\" alt=\"16 million color pen - 004\" width=\"680\" height=\"444\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-38481\"><br \/>\nSo what&#8217;s the catch?
