1/3 #SwatchWednesday When I realised I'd got into the 400-range of inks, I was compelled to make a "404 - Page Not Found" pun. My first thought was to use a blunt tool to impress "404 - Ink Not Found" onto a swatch and then do a pencil rubbing, but after some thought I realised a UV ink would work better. I plumped for Banmi's "Secrets in the Light" UV ink mostly because I liked the jellyfish on the bottle 馃槀 More details to follow:
My original design for an "Ink Not Found" pun was to do a pencil rubbing to show the "404 - Ink Not Found" on the right, but I liked the UV ink idea more.
Photo of the same swatch under 365nm UVA light with a visible light filter. The swatch card fluoresces a mid blue, and the ink fluoresces in a bright, light sky blue. On the left there is the text "Banmi" over the ink bottle stamp willed with the fluorescing ink, then "Secrets in the Light" underneath. On the right is a large swatch of the ink with text in the middle that reads "404 Ink Not Found"
Swatch photo under natural light. No ink is visible, just an ink bottle stamping & a small round sticker on the bottom left corner that reads "404".
