  • Wearing apparel with scented ink
    Patent number: 6640715
    Abstract: A process in which a scented ink is applied to an article. An oil-based scent is mixed with a plastisol-type ink and applied to an article, such as a t-shirt. All layers of the ink forming the design, including the base layer, the color layers and a top special effects clear plastisol ink, include the scent. The combination of a plastisol ink and the oil-based scent results in a design with a positive “hand”, where elevated temperatures activate the scent.
