Comparison between Tono & Lims - Star Light Series: Regulus and E=mc²

First two images have both inks on Col-o-ring, Iroful (paint palette card), and a Midori note block sheet. First is natural light, then UV. The difference in glow color for Regulus is significant between the different papers

Second two images are just the Midori sheet, first in natural then UV light.

Photo of four swatch cards and a piece of paper, all with writing samples, under natural light. Top left and right are col-o-ring swatch cards, bottom left and right are Iroful swatch cards, bottom center is a Midori note sheet. The top left col-o-ring swatch card has a large blob of bright medium blue ink and in writing with a stub nib is "Tono & Lims Regulus" followed by "XX" and two curlicues in stub and fine nibs. The bottom left Iroful swatch card has a large blob of bright teal-ish ink inside an outline of a paint palette and in writing with a stub nib is "Tono & Lims Regulus" followed by "XX" and two curlicues in stub and fine nibs. The top right col-o-ring swatch card has a large blob of dark gray ink with a green tint to it, and in writing with a stub nib is "Tono & Lims E=mc2" followed by "XX" and two curlicues in stub and fine nibs. The bottom right Iroful swatch card has a large blob of olive green ink inside an outline of a paint palette and in writing with a stub nib is "Tono & Lims E=mc2" followed by "XX" and two curlicues in stub and fine nibs. The Midori note pad has a writing sample in blue ink reading "Tono & Lims Regulus / Majohn A1" and a writing sample in olive green ink reading "Tono & Lims E=mc2 / Majohn A3"
Same as photo 1, but under UV light. The ink on the top left Col-o-ring is glowing medium blue but the card itself is also glowing bright light blue. The ink on the bottom left Iroful card is glowing bright blue-green, almost teal. The paper has a faint bluish glow. The ink on the top right Col-o-ring is glowing dark green but the card itself is also glowing bright light blue. The ink on the bottom right Iroful card is glowing green. The paper has a faint bluish glow. The first two lines of writing on the Midori sheet are glowing blue, with some darker blue where more ink has shaded. The second two lines of writing on the Midori sheet are glowing green. The paper is unchanged.
Close-up photo of the Midori note pad under natural light. It has a writing sample in blue ink reading "Tono & Lims Regulus / Majohn A1" and a writing sample in olive green ink reading "Tono & Lims E=mc2 / Majohn A3"
Same as photo 3 but under UV light. The first two lines of writing on the Midori sheet are glowing blue, with some darker blue where more ink has shaded. The second two lines of writing on the Midori sheet are glowing green. The paper is unchanged.

Chromatography for both, Regulus is on top, E=mc² on the bottom. Natural light doesn't show much, it's very faint in both cases.

Regulus has a bit of pink/red in there, both in natural and even more so under UV. I was surprised to see the red fluorescence but I guess that makes sense as the final result is much more purple than the other fluorescence.

E=mc² doesn't show much except under UV and even then, just the bluish fluorescence.

Photo of two chromatography strips under natural light. The top one starts from the right as medium blue, fades to light blue and then empty space. Farther left is some pinkish/red and then very faint blue. The bottom strip starts dark green and then quickly fades to blank area and then on the left a very, very faint light green.
Same as photo 1 but under UV light. The top strip starts as plain blue then fades to empty and then to a large area which is glowing very bright light blue, then a glowing red area, and then empty, then a faint light blue line around the end edge. The bottom strip starts as plain green then fades to empty and then to a large area which is glowing very bright light blue, then empty, then a faint light blue line around the end edge.
