We've launched an exciting new project of our own! Introducing the Kickstarter app for iPhone!

Funded! This project successfully raised its funding goal on July 30, 2012.

Important reminder about your pledges

Update #6 · Jul 28, 2012 · 16 comments

Thanks to you, our Kickstarter project has been a rousing success! We've only got 37 more hours to go, but there's still time to tell your friends and family about the Lumi Process.

With your help we can blow past an amazing $250K in funding, allowing us to double down on researching new colors and improvements to the Lumi Process.

IMPORTANT REMINDER: When the project ends, your payment will be processed through Amazon. Double check that your credit card information is up to date. If you are an international backer, please make sure you've included shipping costs in your pledge. You can modify your pledge by clicking the green button labeled "Manage your pledge". The shipping costs are indicated under each pledge level. If you are in the USA, shipping is free.

UPDATE (July 31): For all the international backers who didn't have a chance to update their pledge -- don't worry we'll get in touch with you soon and make the transfer via Paypal.

Next week we will send an important survey requesting your shipping address. Promptly filling out this survey will allow us to ship the rewards as soon as possible. We currently estimate an early September ship date.

Thank you for an amazing month! Though the Kickstarter project is coming to a close, our adventure together is only beginning. We can't wait to create amazing prints with you!

Genet & Stephan

      black, please - printing classical b&w in full tonal range on various colors of fabric
      *** and ***
      white too, of course, to print on black or dark fabrics

      these combinations would allow very creative positive/negative "twins"

      Are there any options on International postage for faster delivery? Not sure what you had planned, but just wondered if there is normal for $X and faster for $Y - it might be nice to get products sooner than later if we can pay? :-)

      Hi Benni,

      As previously stated, the funds that exceed our original goal of $50K are dedicated to improving the process. Because of the light-sensitive properties of Inkodye, bringing new colors to market is a costly process, which requires the development of new pigments. The more we are able to raise, the broader the selection of colors we are able to research, and the faster we'll be able to make them available.

      We love making and working with Inkodye and are dedicated to improving the process, no matter how much we raise. Hope that clears up your confusion.

      5,000 is what should decide between investigating new colors/improvements or not?

      you've passed your goal by almost 500% - this isn't enough ?
