blacklight poster

Glows under UV

A blacklight poster is a poster printed with fluorescent inks that glow vividly under ultraviolet light.

Associated with 1960s and 70s psychedelic culture, they typically feature bold, surreal imagery—mushrooms, galaxies, band logos, trippy patterns.

They remain popular as dorm room décor: He hung a blacklight poster of Jimi Hendrix above his bed.
