Title: Thermal-IR transparent inks?
Post by: flyingfishfinger on July 12, 2021, 04:56:15 pm
Hi all,
Figured this might be a good place to get some opinions... at work we are developing a product in which we want to use a hidden PIR sensor.

I have found a decent IR-transparent overlay material, but the outside of the device needs to have a specific color. In the non-PIR versions of the device we print on the usual PC/PMMA overlay material.

To duplicate this with the PIR sensor, we need some way to match the color of the material - but I haven't had much luck in the ink department.

Does anyone know if thermal-IR transparent inks exist?

Thanks,
R
