| abstract |
A marking system that advantageously minimizes messiness during use is disclosed. The marking system comprises a marking composition comprising at least one color precursor in the form of a leuco dye. A marking instrument can be utilized to store the marking composition and/or apply the marking composition to a desired substrate. The substrate is provided with a coating comprising at least one color-triggering developper. Upon application of the leuco dye to the substrate, a chromophore, and hence, color, is formed. If, however, color is inadvertently triggered on an unintended surface, thereby resulting in an unwanted stain, the stain can be readily removed. |
