I just had the best idea! Have any of you ever used thermochromic ink?

Yes, we've won our share of awards, and yes, I've tested stuff and read the scientific papers, but ultimately take everything I say with more than just a grain of salt! So if you are looking for trouble, just do as I say or even better, do something I said years ago!

Thermochromic, Photochromic, and Hydrochromic inks have been around for quite sometime. Never quite caught on due to price IMO. I once was sitting on several hundred gallons of Photo that lost its pot life. That said if you have a viable idea go for it and charge accordingly.

We used it years ago. Imagine Ghost Players emerging from a corn field. We used to print for Field of Dreams.
