Default Use black light for better manual pretreatment?

Allow me to look at preatreatment with "beginner's mind." Seems that the invisibility of pt solution makes manual ptment riskier BECAUSE you can't see precisely how you laid down the solution. But if the solution were visible under a uv black light, perhaps quality manual application would be easier. SO: is pt visible under uv? (if not) could a uv visible color be added (invisible in normal light)?

very cool thought, there are very few trully unique thinkers in the world. I'm going to look at the onboard pretreat on my kornits with various coloured filters to see if it makes checking out the job easier. thx
