Hydrochromic inks for shirts
« on: October 26, 2015, 07:07:40 PM »
If I mixed this with another dye and I soaked a bright orange shirt for example in it

Would the orange disappear until wet? Would this work?

I used to belt print all-over hydrochromics using pigments about 20 ys ago. You must test and wash test. Doubt there is very much accurate info on this but be prepared for sticker shock especially if you are submersing

sticker shock? Sorry I'm not very educated on this subject, but no where online can I find how to do this at home.

Have you considered going straight to the horses' mouths and posing your questions to the techs at Matsui and SFXC?
