Photochromic Ink
« on: July 07, 2011, 11:48:41 AM »
Sigh.......Just had a "I've got a great idea thats going to makes all rich' meeting. Unfortunately it was with one of our favorite couriers who does a lot of favors. And he wants photochromic ink. Well it seems when searching the only results I'm getting are requests that if I want I can bring in drums from China and be a distributor. Not exactly interested in that. So......anyone?
BTW you'll never guess I have an awesome story about this stuff from days of yore!

Photochromic ink is a cinch. Here's a print I did a few months back on white underbase:

Believe me I know.......we used to belt print this stuff by the drums. Looking for a distributor. If I remember it was several hundred$ per gallon.
Nice video though. Can't wait to get rich!
