Your more artistic customers should find Wacom's Inkling rather interesting-- it turns real ink drawings on paper into digital art, without the need of a scanner.
The Inkling consists of a traditional ballpoint pen and a digital receiver tracking and recording pen strokes with 1024 sensitivity levels.
The receiver clips to the edge of paper or sketchbooks, and is adjustable for left or right handed users. Once finished from a drawing, the user presses a button to make the Inkling record a new file.
It connects to PCs via USB for file transfer through Wacom's Sketch Manager software (included).
Wacom says the Inkling stores "thousands of sketches" and exports layered files directly into Photoshop, Illustrator and Sketchbook Pro as well as saving images in jpg, bmp, png, svg and pdf formats.
