Well, probably not--at least in the short term. But the pencil printer is an awesome idea. Stick in a pencil to the printer's built-in sharpener and use the pencil's graphite as 'ink' to do your printing. Not only do you save tons on ink cartridges, but paper as well, since mistakes are easily erasable (though you'll have to use a pencil to write in corrections). Kudos to designers Hoyoung Lee, Seungwha Jeong, and Jin-young Yoon of Yanko Designs for thinking outside the box and creating this awesome "pencil printing" concept. Now all we need is for one of the big printer (or perhaps pencil) manufacturers to step in and make it a reality!
