    • What is TRICK PRINT®?

    TRICK PRINT® is an innovative inkjet printing technology that combines magic tricks and printing.

    The TRICK PRINT® series is based on the basic requirement of full-color variable visual printing triggered by a certain energy. The triggers for change and the variable phenomena are different for each. In addition, TRICK PRINT® is a reversible printing technology that maintains interactivity (bi-directionality) and can repeat its function when the user intentionally takes action to trigger the variable phenomenon.
