    Let me start off by saying I am not a printer however all the printers I have called could not come up with a solution for me. I run an indoor black light miniature golf course. We want to have Black light reactive score cards. So far no luck. I would like to print with just 2 colors.

    Please if anyone has a solution shoot me an email.

    Dear George,
    I am just beginning to create an 18 hole indoor "blacklight" mini golf course in my 3000 sq ft building in Virginia and see that you operate the same. Would you be willing to share some information with me regarding UV lighting, paint, etc.? Please contact me at brayk@mindspring.com
    Thanks,
    Ken

    Ask a local screenprinter. They can print small amounts and are more flexibly in using such colors.

    Creations, For blacklight printing you don't use flourescent inks as they gather light in visible and invisible spectrum and drag that energy into the visible spectrum. They only emit their energy or color as long as they can store it. After there is no light no color is emitted. A blacklight only emits its energy when being excited by blacklight. When there is no blacklight present there is no emmission of color, so you must use blacklight additives to achieve the desired effect.
