Called citiinks to see whether I could get the color i wanted.
I wanted the cape to be white with a pattern that is white ( invisible) when cold but changes to red when activated.
After a long discussion, I understood it was not possible, the only color chart they had was the chart above.
I didn't want random colors, so I decided on the black thermo-chromic ink that disappears when activated.
This actually inspired me to make the whole collection black. This I think will tie the collection together and add sophistication to its presentation too. I'm really happy with this decision now, wouldn't have thought of it if it weren't for bad luck with the inks!
Basically, I will be applying the pattern on in regular fabric paints (yellow) and then a second layer of the black thermo-chromic inks on top. This way when the black disappears it reveals the yellow pattern.
Yay : )
