Screen printing is the best print method for printing outdoor materials, laying down the thickest coating of ink, but other print methods using long lasting UV inks can work as well. http://www.ezeeprinting.com
If your printer can print things 13 by 19 inches wide, it should be able to print on canvas. Just be sure to check that your printer's ink is UV stable.
Depends on the ink. Some are effected more than others. We currently have an issue with the UV light from a finishing lacquer process bleaching the magenta ink giving the final print a green tint! Not idea... We are looking at changing the ink supply as this didn't effect the ink we used previously. There is not much else you can do. Mark
I'm assuming you mean outdoor durable vinyl printed banners such as the ones we offer at www.gobigbanners.com. If this is the case, then these are printed on a wide-format solvent ink or UV based ink printer. There are many different manufacturers of these printers out there, some of the big players in the arena are Roland, Epson, Hewlett Packard, Mimaki and Mutoh just to name a few. The key feature to a printer that you intend to create outdoor durable banners with is that the ink be either solvent based or UV cured. Solvent based inks have a volatile compound that enables the ink to be absorbed by the vinyl print material, essentially 'fixing' it into the vinyl. These ink can be low VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) which does not require ventilation for safety, and high VOC which would require an extraction system and would smell strongly while they are 'gassing out' or curing. UV (Ultra-Violet) inks do not have any VOC's and do not require heat to cure. Instead they have concentrated UV lights that cause a chemical reaction between the ink and substrate (the banner material) essentially turning the inks into a solid that is bonded to the substrate. These are even more durable than Solvent based inks. While it is possible to print outdoor banners on a water-based wide format printer, it would be necessary to then coat the banner in some kind of a laminate to prevent weather from rapidly degrading the print and washing the ink off. Hope that helps you, Eyezac
Uv ink tattoos do show over normal tattoos. My tattooist has his full body covered with tattoos and has Uv outlines or bits shaded with uv ink too.
No, it is not safe to use UV ink in your eyes. UV ink can be toxic and cause damage to your eyes. Additionally, having glowing eyes in the darkness is not possible in real life, as seen in science fiction or fantasy movies.
One can purchase UV ink for tattoos online at sites such as Body Art Jewelry Tattoos, Amazon, Light in the Box, and eBay. One can also purchase tattoo ink at Joker Tattoo and Wicked Tattoo Supply.

The best goggles with UV protection for outdoor activities are those that are specifically designed for sports and outdoor use, such as skiing, snowboarding, or cycling. Look for goggles that have a high level of UV protection, typically labeled as 100 UV protection or UV400. Additionally, consider goggles with polarized lenses to reduce glare and improve visibility in bright sunlight. Popular brands that offer high-quality goggles with UV protection include Oakley, Smith, and Bolle.
Special ink, that shows under UV light, is used as a security feature, proving that the banknote is genuine.
No. Despite many Internet conspiracy rumors claiming otherwise, US bills do not have magnetic ink, bar codes, or RFID chips. Modern bills $5 and higher DO have special strips that glow under UV light and watermarks, and bills $10 and higher have special inks that change color when you tilt the bill.
