Default inks for blacklights?

Is there any color ink invisible to the naked eye, but visible when exposed to blacklight? If there is, please let me know brand and color(s)... Thank you.

While I don't know of one specifically, it sounds plausible. I'd try contacting the manufacturer of a glow in the dark ink and asking them. I'm not sure what would happen if you added glow in the dark additive to a clear base and printed that, but that might work?

Wilflex have an ink called 'Luna clear' its black light ink, printed on black it doesn't stand out but i can still be seen, it will glow under black light, i find it better to mix it with other ink it does give the colours a blueish tint but makes the colour glow if you can get the % correct.
