Thermo-Setting paints/ink

I have been looking at printing in a branding project and they have used thermo-setting paints to enhance their business cards. This is a really novel idea and i want to try and incorporate it into my designs somehow so i have just started some basic research in places i could resource the paint.

Introduction to Temperature Sensitive Paints and Labels While temperature sensitive paint is not a sensor in the sense that this site accepts, it can provide an effective solution to some temperature measurement problems. The category includes Labels, inks, paints and pigments. Liquid Crystal Based Those based on liquid crystals, and reversibly cover the range of approximately -30°C to 120°C, with a measurement "bandwidth" of 10°C with 1°C accuracy. Paint Based Other materials are used to manufacture nonreversible indicators, labels and strips. These are available for temperatures up to 1270°C. Typically these rely on material crystal lattice or phase changes at a particular temperature. They are particularly good in recording if a device has exceeded its designed temperature limit. Applications The application of this form of sensor is very diverse. A commonly seen application is for the measurement of aquarium temperature using self adhesive strips such as show to the left. Contrary to what may be expected in a world of electronics, the demand for these types of products is increasing due to their ease of use and very visual output.
