[APML] O.T. - - printing for UV light

[Stosh <stosh@ptd.net>]

Greetings,
Sorry for the O.T. post.

I was wondering if any light/printing experts out there could throw some
advice my way.  I'm interested in decorating my already 70's basement
with a wall mural featuring stars, constellations, and astro photos. 
I'm no artist, so I won't be painting.  I'd like to use fluorescent inks
that are available for inkjet printers.  The problem is that these
prints can't work the same way as a normal print would work under
daylight.  My prints will be viewed with UV black light.  Since the
fluorescent inks actually emit light, I think I can assume that the
colors will work similiarly to colors on a monitor (RGB).

Does anyone know how to tell a printer to change the color scheme from
absorption/reflection mode to emission mode??? :)  The images are
already stored and displayed on the monitor as RGB, but the printer
converts to whatever it does.  Maybe there's a way to use PW to somehow
convert an image to an "inverse" of printer ink format, so when the
printer converts, it will be back to RGB???

I'm not sure, but I might be asking a lot of this project.  I realize
that the pictures will look silly under white light, but that's OK. 
Actually, they even have "invisible" UV pigments that are white or "off
white" under normal light, but then show their magic color when exposed
to UV.

Any help would be appreciated.

thanks,
Stosh
