We know them, but we can’t see and touch them. They are invisible for us. Invisible ink precisely takes advantage of this principle. Processed cards are “invisible” for us because the invisible ink is beyond the wave band we can see through our naked eyes. Normally, we can see something with wave band between 390 to 700 nm.
If there is something beyond this range, this thing is invisible for us. Actually, it really exists. Just like marked deck poker, there really exist some special marks even though we can’t detect them by our eyes. But if we wear some specific devices, these marks will be visible. When printed by different invisible ink, these cheating cards will have different performances. Because IR invisible ink has different wavelengths with UV ink, IR marked decks can’t be viewed by UV contact lens. So do UV luminous cheating cards. |
