Our Thermochromic Ink Trial Pack is your gateway to the fascinating world of colour-changing technology. Experiment with these unique inks that transform with temperature, revealing hidden designs, messages, and interactive elements.
What is Thermochromic Ink?
Thermochromic inks utilize microencapsulated leuco dyes that change colour in response to heat. Below their activation temperature, the inks appear coloured and opaque. When warmed, the dye molecules rearrange, causing the ink to become transparent. This reversible process allows for dynamic and engaging visual effects.
