Description
SFXC's Invisible Inkjet Ink is specially designed to illuminate brightly when exposed to UV black light.
Invisible inks have a wide variety of different applications, the most popular of these being security. It is used to authenticate documents, products, and materials with a distinguishable glow.
Printing produces the best results when applied to a UV dull surface. Most regular papers on the market contain optical brighteners that dull the colour of the invisible ink.
We would suggest users print on light yellow or light blue plain paper for best results. Another suitable material is chlorine free paper. Please see the photo gallery for an image of this type of paper.
For best results add 6-8% of this ink to most aqueous binder systems and carriers, and percentages outside this range may cause adverse effects.
This product can be added to a wide range of mediums and applied to the substrate using a screen, rotary screen, Inkjet, flexographic, offset, conventional spray equipment, brush, or rubber stamp. This highly concentrated dispersion suits water based printing systems and allows users to formulate their own solution.
Compatible printers are:
Plotter Models - Epson, Mimaki, Roland and Mutoh
Desktop Models - Epson and Brother CISS printers
The inks are not suitable for opaque mediums.
These inks can be added to most w/b mediums, but it is always best to fully test the compatibility beforehand.
Invisible inks are widely used on many currencies, certificates, travellers checks, tickets and sensitive / confidential documentation. While this product has many serious applications, it can also be used in fun and interesting ways for example; escape rooms, laser tag / paint ball, theme parks and nightclubs or in the printing of invitations for weddings, birthdays and other events.
