UV-Fluorescent inks
UV fluorescent inks are invisible to the human eye under a normal light source. To be visible to the human eye, they must be exposed to an ultraviolet (UV) light source.

Photochromic inks
Photo chromatic ink is an invisible ink that changes color when exposed to light. Reacts to sunlight, very strong artificial light and UV light.
This change is reversible from invisible to color and back to invisible after a short time without being exposed to light.

Thermochromic inks
Thermochromic inks change color when temperature changes, either as visible colors changing their hue as a result of a change in temperature, or by changing from one color to another. Most temperatures and colors are reversible, that is, when they recover the initial temperature they also recover the initial color, but when reacting to certain temperatures, the change can be irreversible.

Iridescent inks
The iridescent ink changes its brightness depending on the viewing angle. Combined with other inks it can change from virtually invisible to visible, with brilliant effects resulting from the incidence of light. This effect is best seen when lighting is applied and the document is moved to change the angle.
