As you can see the paint that I bought glows in the dark very well indeed. Even with a small bit in the binder. When I tried to print the 'glow' type onto the paper with it, it was a different story. The glow in the dark particles of the paint are made up of small grit like crystals which don't fit through a silk screen, not even a textile screen which have less threads to the screen. This is annoying because it not only cost £15 but actual ink costs about £75. So I think I will have to make a large laser cut of the type so I can paint into a stencil. This puts a spanner in the works as I wont be able to have to pictures in glow in the dark, but I will print them in colour just a little more subtle.
