This is what is special in the stamp of luxury
Definition of special instruments
With special instructions it indicates which formulation has an effective or specific effect which is subject to convention. In premium and luxury settings, the family has more options:
Main families of specialized inchiosters
- metallic inchiostri and pearlescenti (metal effect, riflessi, brilliantzza controllata)
- inchiostri fluorescenti e phosphorescenti (color acceso or luminosità al buio)
- inchiostri thermochromici e photochromici (change of color based on temperature or light)
- inchiostri a ioni metallici and conduttivi (functions of safety or connection)
The special metallic thermochromic inchiostri is collocano all'incrocio tra tre di queste family and possono combinare pigmenti termocromici microincapsulati con componenti metallici o conduttivi, offerendo così a change of color or transparency in funzione of the temperature, a presence of metallica on the surface stampata and potential funzioni of sicurezza o traceability.
How to operate the thermal insulation
The thermochromic inchiostri is formulated with special pigments that change chemical structure according to the temperature variation, in which leuco dye pigments are microincapsulated. Ogni microcapsula includes a dye, a rivetator that interacts with the dye and a solvent or calorie-sensitive regulator. When the temperature exceeds the temperature, the internal structure changes, causing it to change from color to colorless, from colorless to color or the shift is due to color. This version can be reversed and the color will be returned to the original state. The product is available on the market from around 8°C to 55°C and is therefore permitted, for example, to include a pattern in contact with the hand, label to confirm the correctness of a spirit or editorial insertion in a svelano image on the page.
Typology of thermocromici and loro uso
Reversible and irreversible
Gli inchiostri thermochromici reversible colore oltre la temperatura di viraggio e ritornano allo stato iniziale non appena la temperatura nothingtra nel range previsto, risultando ideali per effetti interattivi vi cofanetti, message «giochi di calore» per spirits o profumi e progetti museali che coinvolgono il gesto del lettore. It is irreversible if you change the owner's color status to a single voltage and remain permanent, without the need for an indicator of safety, if it is necessary to control the heat or indicator technology in the professional equipment of the high fascia.
Viraggio tipiche temperature
| Tipo inchiostro | Typical turning range | Examples of use in luxury |
|---|---|---|
| Termocromico «freddo» | 4 °C – 10 °C | Bevande label; cofanetti spirits refrigerated |
| Termocromico «corporeo» | 29 °C – 35 °C | Are you sensitive to the tattoo in your box, Copertine, invited |
| Termocromico «caldo» | > 40 °C | Message from security or delivery from use |
The difference in the range is not unique: it corresponds to the product handling conditions, climatic conditions, logistics, drying temperature and final stamping.
Specialized thermochromic metal inserts
It finishes special thermochromic metallic inks indica un'area ancora poco codificata, ma molto promisinge per il premium packaging. If it operates in a space where it is in the classic thermal current, in the metallic or metallic and «intelligent» inchiostri it reacts to the heat that generates an effect that can be seen on the skin.
1. Thermochromic inchiostro in combination with metallizzazioni
The solution is more mature than the industrial view: the thermometer is heated or coated with hot laminate, painted with metallic powder or metal card with foil transfer, it is possible to compare or compare the pattern on the metallic surface or vary the saturation.
2. Inhibit metallic ion with thermal behavior
Any formulation includes metallic or conductive components that react to the heat generated by heat/fry sensing, circuit stamping or contribution to the authentication and tracking system. The visual effect may be discreet, but the technical function is strong.
3. Inchiostri ibridi decorativi and funzionali
Experimental combinations of metallic pigments and decorations and thermochromic components in the Stessa area are stamped with the change in temperature based on the temperature, the pattern is brightly illustrated with a metallic film or an indicator of the ideal temperature for tasting a spirit.
Other families of our special guests
For a visually consistent language, the special thermochromic metallic inks are compatible with metallic and pearlescent pigments (pigment of aluminum, bronze or riveting mica), fluorescent fluorescent rays full of light during the day and reattivi ai raggi UV, inchiostri fosforescenti che rilasciano luce al buio and inchiostri fotochromici che change color under direct UV light.
Technical and careful attention in production
Support and material compatibility
Support, compatibility with other stamp layers, heating temperature and stability over time with critical settings. Patina card shows the shine of the metallic and the intensity of the thermochromic, while the natural card favors the tattilità but attenuano the saturation.
Control of requirements and production parameters
Verify that it is safe to protect the protective coating too much by canceling the effect, or by boosting the super high temperature at the maximum temperature of the microcapsule. Direct control impiant in Italy and in Cinema allow you to adjust the production curve to your specific program.
Packaging and publishing applications in high range
Premium spirits may include temperature controls to ensure the ideal service temperature, metallic temperature changes with hand heat and conductive heat abbinate an NFC tag for physical enjoyment. In the beauty of the skin, it is on the tap or on the inside of the cofanetto if it is in contact with you, there is a fluorescent pattern on the night. In art editors, pages rivelano dettagli di un'opera solo al tocco, sovracopertine metalliche mutano tonalità in base all'ambiente and inserti fosforescenti arricchiscono volume dedicati alla note. Invited and limited editions to save the date thermochromics, discrete safety elements and coordinated metallic, fluorescent and thermochromic combinations.
Come scegliere and integrate the special inchiostri
The decision is made based on five operational commands: the main effect; he gestures desired (contact, freddo, light); i vincoli di filiera, specie in produzioni distribuite fra Italia e Cina; the longevity of life is rich in effect; It is proven and certified (FSC, traceability, technical schedule). Coinvolgere end of brief a partner che unisca engineering of the card, photography of precision and controllo impianti consente di tradurre quest risposte in specifiche tecniche robust.
FAQ
Is the thermal insulation compatible with the offset stamp?
None of these formulations, otherwise no. What destination does the offset have? Rigorous drying temperature control and dedicated machine preparation; For details of the piccole it is possible to communicate with the manufacturer and prove its real label.
How long does the thermochromic effect of the packaging and the book last?
Longevity depends on exposure to UV, heat, temperature and protective paint. In normal indoor conditions the effect lasts for commercial traffic; For multi-year collections, this specification is required at the end of the inception and the map is compatible.
Is it possible to combine metallic, fluorescent and thermochromic with different types of products?
Yes, my technical complexity increases: precise stamp order servo, dedicated drying curve and machine or 3D prototype to validate an effect that is not canceled otherwise.
Sintesi e prossimi passi
The special thermochromic metal inchiostri, contains fluorescent, phosphorescent and photochromic materials, offers a lusso grammatical material that has an intreccia temperature, light, tattoo and perception of value.
