Do you like UV?

If you do, and you have a source (Arc or Photon or whatever), you must get this marker!

I've been looking for something like this for ages, and I've finally found it. And now I'm just drawing all over the place...

The photos doesn't show the writing all that well, but I assure you that it is plenty clear to read.

YC,

I just found a place here in Tokyo which sells UV ink pens - they have them in green, blue, and red. I tried the blue and green, and they work very well. Totally invisible to the naked eye, but show up really well with a UV Arc AAA...
A bit expensive though - 500yen each (about A$7 or so I guess)

I'm going back to get a red one to see what its like..

These markers aren't cheap here too, about A$5 each.

Do they have different colours there?

Have to admit, these are pretty cool. (never played with "invisible ink" stuff before..)

I'm probably going to use them to mark some of my more expensive toys in case of theft..

Well, you should know that anything that's slightly cool/updated/interesting/hi-tech won't be available in Australia..

Took me ages to find a shop that had this pen, just this one color.

Beware, writing everywhere with these can be addictive..

The invisible ink marker has been offered here as a theft prevention system a couple of years ago. The markers are pretty easy obtainable in book- and office supplies stores. I haven't looked at prices, but I think they would be in the 3-6 euro range.
