It depends on the type of ink used; there are several methods of using invisible ink and of finding them. The most common is to use a weakly acidic solution such as lemon juice; wipe this over the area thought to be hiding the ink and then heat it using a blowdryer, electric iron or oven on low heat. Another is to place the area under a UV light, as some inks will only show up under one.

If you use invisible ink how do you know your ink runs out?

Invisible ink isn't actually invisible. The writing done with invisible ink is invisible, and can be read only after applying certain treatments. For example, orange and lemon juices are invisible inks. Orange and lemon juices are perfectly visible, but when you write with them, the text becomes invisible. The text can be read only if the paper is kept under ultraviolet light, or if it is slightly heated.
