Hydrochromic materials have a wide range of applications, including humidity sensing and measurement of water content in organic solvents, as well as as substrates for rewritable paper and sweat pore mapping. On page 498, B. J. Park, J.‐M. Kim and co‐workers report an printable monomer that can be transformed to a hydrochromic conjugated polymer on conventional paper. The printed image undergoes a fluorescence ‘turn on’ feature upon exposure to water.
