    Try using the CrMgYbK colourset. It combines the two and allows the laser printer to blast bands of laser light from various points along the spectrum. These laser beams agitate phosphorescent particles in the paper stock causing them to absorb light energy and emit it subtly in the printed piece. By doing this its possible to extend WAY beyond the trad CMYK set and to use colours that are technically outside the human spectral range.

    Essentially you're using colours that no human has ever seen before int he history of the species, and because you're just exploiting a common laser printer to achieve it. It doesn't actually cost anything. There aren't even any additional printing plates required.

    • Aside from the bufoonery, hands up who thought "Actually, there might be a fucking ace idea in that. Phosphorescent papers could be the futore"...Horp
