Nothing imminent at this time, but updates to follow as we get closer. Bill Rolik

I will say this, from the product I've seen so far I wouldn'y use the same ink that the hoses out there now have anyway because it's FAR to easy to wipe off. Something more resilient is needed. There are some special inks out there made for stamping rubber that have a tougher grip and are resistant to some common oil based chemicals and cleaning products, it doesn't appear than anyone making KV hoses are using it. Most of the KV hoses on the market can be wiped clean with dry fingers and a little pressure.

If I am not satisfied with the results, the project will not be advanced. I do not anticipate any further updates for at least 30-45 days, while this issue is being investigated. Bill Rolik

I've used commercially avaialable stamping inks that come in squeeze tubes, PK Neuses is one of the companies there is also a company in Texas that sells it but I can't remember the name right now. As with most things the technique varies the end result very much. What I have found is that in order to not have the hose smudge, thin the ink out with a little bit of acetone on a platen, spread it out with a roller and have it a little tacky before you put your stamp in it. Using this technique the results I have seen is that the stamp ink bleeds into the hose almost and gives an appearance of not much more gloss than the hose itself.
