Abstract: A multiple coloring composition system is disclosed whose coloring effect is changed upon treatment with an overcolor, once the overcolor coloring composition has been deposited over the undercolor coloring composition. The multiple ink system comprises:(a) an undercolor aqueous coloring composition comprising an undercolor dye whose coloring ability is destroyed in the presence of an acid; and(b) an overcolor aqueous coloring composition comprising a colorant capable of maintaining its characteristic color in the presence of a pH of about 4 or less; and an acid sufficient to bring the pH of the overcolor composition to about 4 or less.

Abstract: A washable multiple coloring composition system is disclosed whose coloring effect is changed upon treatment with a second coloring composition, once the second coloring composition has been deposited over the undercolor coloring composition. The washable multiple ink system comprises:(a) an undercolor aqueous coloring composition comprising a compatable surfactant in an amount sufficient to provide washability and an undercolor dye whose coloring ability is destroyed in the presence of a pH of about 10 or greater and/or by a reducing agent; and(b) an overcolor aqueous coloring composition comprising a compatable surfactant in an amount sufficient to provide washability, a colorant capable of maintaining its characteristic color in the presence of a pH of about 10 or greater and/or a reducing agent, a base in an amount sufficient to yield a pH of the overcolor composition of about 10 or greater, and/or a reducing agent.

Abstract: A multiple coloring composition system for use on non-porous surfaces is disclosed whose coloring effect is changed upon treatment with a second coloring composition, once the second coloring composition has been deposited over the undercolor coloring composition. The multiple ink system comprises:(a) an undercolor aqueous coloring composition comprising a film forming resin and an undercolor dye whose coloring ability is destroyed in the presence of a pH of about 10 or greater and/or by a reducing agent; and(b) an overcolor aqueous coloring composition comprising a film forming resin, a colorant capable of maintaining its characteristic color in the presence of a pH of about 10 or greater and/or a reducing agent, a base in an amount sufficient to yield a pH of the overcolor composition of about 10 or greater, and/or a reducing agent.
