Abstract
A composite of selectively removable layers of silk screen printing ink above a base layer serving as a substrate or receptor surface. The silk screen printing inks have compositions allowing them to be permanent, selectively removed with water and selectively removed with water and detergent as a washing compound. The composite is used for selectively altering the graphic or artistic presentation of a sales or promotional item so as to reveal a hidden message underneath or simply to alter or eliminate all or portions of the presentation.
