Our Janus Effect® Ink was named after the two faced Greek God.  The Janus Effect Inks display "two faces" and when used with clear cards, the color appears different depending on the color of the background. 
  The Janus Effect® Inks are available for applications on transparent or semi-transparent substrates.  These products provide a color shifting, glowing edge effect through different viewing angles, background colors or UV light.

The Janus Effect® Inks enable unique card designs to your customers.  When printed on transparent or semi-transparent substrates, these inks will be easily identified when light hits the surface of the card and the edge illuminates vibrantly!  Create multi-faceted card designs using pearlescent inks or other decorative effect inks!  For use on clear transaction cards, the Janus Effect® Inks would need to be used in conjunction with H.W. Sands Corp. IR blocking inks to meet opacity standards.
