Specification
How this craft performs, which fabrics it runs on, and where it fits best.
Thermochromic printing uses temperature-sensitive pigments that reversibly change color when the printed surface reaches a specified temperature range. Depending on the pigment system, the artwork may shift from one color to another, become lighter, or temporarily reveal an underlying design when warmed or cooled. This creates an interactive visual effect suitable for novelty graphics, promotional products, temperature indicators, and designs intended to respond to touch or environmental changes. The activation temperature and color transition depend on the selected pigment and production conditions.
