Top 5 Special Effects At Impressions Expo 2020!

January 29, 2020

International Coatings Top 5 Special Effects Inks We received lots of "oohs" and "aahs" on our new display prints at the recent Impressions Expo. Here are the special effects that got the most attention:
  • Gel Gloss - Visitors remarked on how glassy and clear our newFX Gel Gloss Clear looked and what great dimension it added to our show prints.
  • Crystalina Shimmer - Many booth visitors were surprised to learn how our shimmer can be printed over various colors and then reflect those colors. Very cool effect!
  • Flock - Nothing beats the textural feel of flock. We used our FX Gel Gloss as the flock adhesive on our Janis Joplin print. You can get the same effect using our Flock Adhesive.
  • BlowOut Base - Talk about texture! We were asked over and over "What is this stuff?”. Is it HD? No. Is it Puff? Well, sort of, but it's spongy and soft, and bounces back when squished.
  • Glow-in-the Dark - Hard to showcase this ink under bright lights, but aim a UV flashlight or look at it in a darkened environment, and voilà!
