how does the print head deal with the glow powder? Does it get clogged up?

Might be a little easier to believe this video if the editor had any idea how to spell correctly!

The end looks almost fake... I hope it's not though, this would be an awesome project if it really worked.... But can someone provide a website or something to buy the supplies from?

Oh.. and to the first two comments: the microwave heated the ink, allowing the glow powder's molecules to become stuck more evenly between the ink's molecules (much like dissolved sugar in warm water)... and as long as not too much of the glow powder was added, there isn't much of a chance of it falling out of solution and clogging your print head.

Total rubbish - FAKE.
I spent the best part of a day trying to get this to work. With differnet colours, printers and powders from differnt suppliers.
It just does not work.
Also when you try to microwave after just 10 seconds (800 watt microwave) it just boils over and fills your microwave with ink.
DO NOT TRY THIS IT DOEAS NOT WORK.
I was going to make this as a commercial product as I already produce many glow in the dark products. So if anyone knows a real way of doing this let me know.
