Interesting printing that utilizes "functional inks" such as those that smell, shine, expand, can be scraped, or change color.

Inks with special surface decoration functions that cannot be achieved with conventional printing methods such as offset printing are referred to as "functional inks." [Printing Examples] ● Texture Printing Achieves the texture and realistic tactile sensation of leather, wood, tiles, and fabric through a combination of inks, designs, and printing techniques, resulting in impactful prints that can be enjoyed by touch. ● Visionary High fine line printing that changes appearance with the angle due to light reflection. ● Foamed Printing Printing with a soft texture that has a fluffy feel created by heating and foaming. ● Glow-in-the-Dark Printing Printing that absorbs light and glows in the dark. ● Blacklight Printing Transparent under natural light or fluorescent lights, but reveals hidden text or designs in full-color fluorescent hues when exposed to blacklight. ● Rubbing Printing Printing where images or text appear when rubbed with a pencil or colored pencil. ● Thermochromic Printing Printing that changes with temperature. ● Scented Printing Printing that emits a scent when rubbed. ● Photochromic Printing Printing that changes color due to ultraviolet light. ● Many other value-added printing options are also available. (Such as glitter, crinkle, pearl, scratch, etc.) Samples are available, so please feel free to contact us.
