A spotlight on colour changing screen printing inks
If you’re looking for ways to incorporate intrigue to your screen-printed garments, adding colour-changing effects can be a great option. There’s a wide variety of options in the MagnaPrint range of water-based inks, each offering a colour shift response to environmental conditions such as sunlight, heat, water, UV light and water. Here are four of the ranges that can bring these properties to garments and textiles. Heat Sensitive Thermochromic Effects with the MagnaPrint Variotherm Range
These heat sensitive pigments that lose their standard colour as the temperature they are exposed to rises. They retain their colour up to 22°C (72°F), and progressively begin to lose it as temperatures builds up to 31°C (88°F) – at which point the ink has disappeared! Shining a Light on Photochromic Inks with MagnaPrint Uvisenz RFU These inks provide a fully reversible colour change when exposed to UV light and sunlight. Light causes the molecular structure of the colourant to change, allowing it to exhibit a hidden colour. Once the light source is removed, the ink will slowly return to its original state which is almost invisible on the garment.
MagnaPrint Invisible Ink for Stunning Black Light Effects Under exposure to UV light, the printed areas of this ink will glow bright blue, allowing for bold, dramatic effects. It can be printed as a clear topcoat ink to add invisible effects to certain print areas of your design. Uncover Hidden Print Layers with MagnaPrint Wet Reveal This hydrochromic opaque ink turns transparent when it comes into contact with water. It was developed to be printed as white topcoat ink able to hide other printed layers and colours underneath. When water is applied, the Wet Reveal ink slowly fades revealing printed areas beneath - once it dries, the ink returns to its opaque state.
