Does any manufacturer sell a printer that uses ink that will show up only in
black light? We want to encode identification tag messages that can be
placed into complex products at various points. This helps with warranty
issues when, for example, you get a product return where the product has
been tampered with and the item being returned is not the one that was sold.

You can get security stick on lables, the very kind you see with "if
the seal is broken then the warrenty is void" or something similar
printed on them.

Once you tried to peel these lables off they sort of crumble into
peices, whether they are UV responsive or not I can't say.

What you are after I guess is a do-it-yourself type, could you not
use a stamp (rubber and ink pad) over these, or even print your own
sticker and place it over/under or even alongside one of these
security lables.
I don't know if you have RS Components over in the States (Radio
Spares) that is where you can get these lables from

Just an idea

There are special inks that are only visible under UV light, although I
don't know if any are being formulated for inkjet printing purposes.
I'd imagine someone is producing them.

Do they need to be able to print on other surfaces than paper? Do they
need to be waterproof? Do you want the ink to come off if the product
is handled?

I would try something like:

"ultraviolet ink" +inkjet

in Google and see what comes up.

you can buy pens that you can write onto objects which the ink will
fluro under uv light.

FX supply no longer carries them. You have to go to:

If you go to the ecab web site almost all of the pages are not implemented.
