Did I see the ad for this correctly in that it prints WHITE?
I checked the website and it says it prints in 6 colors, but doesnt list them.

Take a small screw driver and instead of a philips or flat head, its a drill bit. Usually a very small diameter drill bit.

It has a "vice" at the end so you can swap out the drill bits.
