Thermochromic ink is ink that changes colour or disappears when heat is applied. Base and thermochromic powder are mixed 5 parts to 1 respectively.

As seen in the video below, the ink is poured onto one side of the silkscreen frame, and then spread across with the spreader. several passes of the spreader are required to get enough ink transferred onto the cloth below.

For Fibre Etching, the process is similar to ink printing, the same silkscreen frame is used, but the liquid applied this time is fibre etch liquid. The cloth used this time is velvet, which is organic based, and therefore the fibre etch liquid will eat away at the cloth surface where it was applied.

First the Velvet is placed face down and steam ironed. Next it s turned face up and then the silkscreen frame is placed over it. The etching liquid is applied and spread with the spreader. Remove the frame and let the process work for 24 hours. Next the velvet is ironed again, and washed to stop the etching process.
