Hi Paul,

Were these supposed to be used with a black light?  Or is this just you playing around with your own black light?

No, just me playing around.  As I say, I think Cinemas missed a trick with these...

Wow, this is fantastic, Paul.  But I don't get it.  Don't you need a special paper treatment for black lighting?  I know nothing about this.

Just the double sided poster looks better with back lighting that is all. Not special paper..

The posters are printed with those vibrant day glo inks. Just add a black light and voilą!

One thing about British posters, there was a lot made that look amazing using a Blacklight.

I think UK  Cinemas missed a trick here....





Fantastic and amazing quads with the back lighting.. The use of florescent inks was big in those days wasn't it? Don't seem to use it these days, don't know why, great effect.

Nothing special T, it's the day-glow inks that they used in these posters that react with a BLACKlight, or UV light.. they look far better in person too..

Lit like this, they remind me of the commercial, black light posters that were sold at stores like Spencer's Gifts.

Jeff, I bet you knew a poster shop a little more "keep on truckin'" than Spencer's Gifts, eh?  Okie
