RESPONSIVE OR HEAT CHANGING INK RESEARCH

Thermochromic Paint

ChromaFlair — usually applied to cars and of fingernail polish. When the paint is applied, it changes color depending on the light source and viewing angle. Not heat sensitive but somewhat ‘interactive’

Optically Variable Ink (OVI) — the ink displays two different colors depending upon the angle that it’s viewed at. Typically used in banking or anti-counterfeiting efforts.

Luminous Paint (or Luminescent Paint) this paint gives off visible light through fluorescence, phosphorescence, or radioluminescence. These are also the three types of luminous paint that are available for industry use.
