Blacklight poster
A blacklight poster is a poster printed with inks which fluoresce under a black light.[1] The inks used contain phosphors which cause them to glow when exposed to ultraviolet light emitted from black lights.[2][3]
In the United States, blacklight posters emerged as part of the psychedelic fashion scene between 1967 and 1969.[4] Since then, the art form has gone out of fashion and is generally viewed as a relic of the 1970s.[5]
Although blacklight posters have continually been produced since the 1960s, there has been a resurgence in popularity since 2007 as blacklight and glow-in-the-dark parties have become more popular. As of 2014, there are five companies actively producing new and classic flocked blacklight posters in a wide range of content, including music, nature, and pop culture. The black parts of these posters are overlaid with black flocking, which gives it a velvet feel, and these are often referred to as velvet posters.
