Shopping Palace

Are you trying to discover a new, interesting way to bring more sparkle to your arts and crafts creations?Your search is over.Glowing printer ink is a great way to add some pizzazz to greeting cards, informational newsletters, deocrations for a party or the holidays, signs, or even t shirts.The glowing ink will work without the purchase of special paper and you literally have no limits but the extent of your own imagination.You can employ whatever you have hanging around. 
There are plenty of manufacturers that sell this ink, but if you want to further explore your own craftiness, try making the ink yourself.
The materials for making glowing ink will require a couple of shopping stops.You will have to travel to your local craft store of the arts and crafts section of a major retail store to purchase some glow in the dark powder.The next thing you’re going to need is an ink refill kit.If you don’t, you can easily find one online or at your nearest office supply store.You should make sure that the ink kit is compatible and can be used with the printer.And lastly, so that you might easily transfer ink from the ink cartridge to the mixing bowl and back, you’ll need a syringe.

In a microwave-safe bowl, place three teaspoons of printer ink and one-fourth of a teaspoon of the glow in the dark powder.Microwave the solution and then stir until the power is totally dissolved into the ink.  Let the mixture cool for a few minutes.  Use the syringe to pick up all the ink mixture and transfer it back into your empty ink cartridge.  Put the syringe into the refill holes of the cartridge (check the refill kit instructions to find out where the refill holes are located).Before attempting any printing, you should use your printer’s clean cycle.Glowing will not be possible unless you expose the ink to the light for a few minutes after it has been printed out.

That’s it! Who knew you could have so much fun with ink?Your creativity may now be unleashed, and let your projects know no bounds.Although it seems as though Halloween projects are the most popular projects to be undertaken with these special inks, there are many other uses, like decorations for your home on a summer evening.  Try adding the glow-in-the-dark effect to several different ink colors.  Have fun, be creative, and get ready to see some amazed smiles from your friends and relatives when they see what your artwork!
