are u using the sirchie powders from www.practicingperfection.7p.com ?
I dont know that much about how to make it brighter, but to just do
multipassing (if using UV hacked inkcart) print on the same color like
4 - 5 times and then it will look brighter and last longer.

i too have been experimenting with uv printing and haven't found any
method to produce as to the quality i expecting want. I originally
thought that surly id be able to do it with the infamous alps i had
just gotten, but several variations of the alps pearlex method with uv
powder, ink and laundry detergent have all failed. my wheels are still
turning on this aspect and everything i have found online about it
revolves around inkjet cart hacks is this truly the only answer to
having it glow under the blacklight.

Hey idMA:
When i used powders supplied from blacklightworld it didn't really
entrap under the finish carts ink because when i went to wash it all
came off and not to mention the powder was extremely visible with
attempts of multipassing wasn't sure if you had similar results who's
powder did you use?

aren't used in the state of MA anymore
