True, you could just print out from any program. However, Inklingo is designed to use very, very scant amounts of ink. Each shape/layout page actually has 20 different choices of page. 20 different colors/densities of color to choose from. There is a test page to use that prints small squares of all 20 on a scrap so you can be sure to use a color that washes out, or doesn't bleed/show through. Black is the last chance choice to use.
There is so much more to Inklingo. You really do need to check the website, join the on line group to read more, check the Inklingo project blog and so on.
Linda is in the process of patenting the Inklingo process, it is that different. Lots of time has gone into making it a wonderful easy to use too. <G>
