"He who marches out of step hears another drum." ~ Ken Kesey
I like it. What's the ink, the print method? I want details dammit. Always wanted to do some work with this for our retail line, have a real specific thing in mind for it, but never had the time to R&D or was able to subdue the cheap-ass in me when it came time to buy the ink. That stuff is not cheap. Presumably, you just treat these inks like any other particle-carrying plastisol? That is, ensure your mesh openings (in real life, not on paper) can easily pass the particles and carrier base together and then find some way to cure the imprint effectively without scorching the shirt? I would hope that true reflective inks are carried by low-cure temp base.
But if they are looking at it in normal room light, it's like "Where's the Beef?"
It does, but unless you have a flashlight stapled to your head, it's not all that great. I've found most of my customers highly unimpressed when they find out the light has to be at just the right angle. Just sayin'...

Just sayin'...I used to work for a company that made high-vis safety gear, among other things...That's how most high-vis stuff works. It's supposed to show up very bright in car headlights, but dim grey in indirect light. Like those strips of material on safety vests, those reflective bits on some running shoes, the vinyl material most street signs are printed with nowadays, etc...Is this stuff up to ANSI standards for safety wear, for like road crews and such? If so, I can see this as being awesome for people who print for construction or emergency-related clients.
