OK, I’ve found some more videos with crude colour mixing (as in, look, mixing 50% green with 50% blue gives us something that looks kind of purple in the right light: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=saryph9t9L8 <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=saryph9t9L8>), but no evidence of full colour printing yet.
It is cool, but I’m still hoping for something that can make prints like these cheaper:
