ABSTRACT:
A method for printing fine or commercial art utilizing visible and/or invisible fluorescent colorants and non-fluorescent colorants in a multiple series of colorant applications with each color application being made with with a predetermined print pattern. As used herein, "fluoresecent colorants" are those which emit visible light under the ultraviolet (black light), including those which are colored and those which are colorless under visible light. The colorants are applied to a base in layers or by blending the fluorescent and non-fluorescent colorants to achieve a predetermined piece of art work. Some of the layers of colorants are used to mask, or partly mask, the brilliance of some of the fluorescent layers, in graduating degrees for viewing under ulrtraviolet observation, or viewing in other lighting conditions. The proportions of the fluorescent and non-fluorescent colorants are also selected to provide a final print which can be displayed under visible and black light conditions and combinations of visible and black light illumination, depicting a subject under day and night illumination with a smooth transition therebetween such as twilight. This colorant application method can also be used to create brillant contrasts in theatrical or other stylized effects.
