ThermoStar Temperature Sensitive Inks
Thermostar is a range of eye-catching temperature sensitive Thermochromic finished Inks. Thermostar is formulated with Chromazone pigments and utilises TMC’s latest printing experiences. The ink colour on a printed item disappears as the temperature rises above the response temperature of the thermochromic ink and then it reverses back to its original colour as the temperature is reduced again (below the response temperature).
The Thermostar Ink Range includes: Conventional Sheetfed and UV offset Inks, Water Based and UV Flexo Inks and Water Based and UV Screen Inks. These Inks can be featured in a variety of applications including Labels, Packaging, Security Documents, Textiles, Toys and high end Promotional items.
Hydrochromic

Thermostar Hydrochromic Ink is available as Irreversible or Reversible. There are two types of Irreversible Hydrochromic ink; the first changes from a colour to white when exposed to water and remains so when dry again. The second dissolves and washes off the surface revealing a message below. The Reversible Ink is white in appearance but becomes translucent when exposed to water and then reverts back to a white state when dry.
These Inks can be featured in a variety of applications revealing that a product has been exposed to water, including high end promotional items, game cards, labels and packaging.
