Holy shit those are some unsteady hands! Glad to see someone else noted inserting the sponge dry (or mostly dry) and soaking it with the solution after it's inserted in the cartridge.
@tippitoverplease i think its gonna be way harder to get all the black ink off of the sponge, wile with the yellow its very easyer becouse yellow is a very light color (witch also means that the printer dispenses yellow ink more generously)
@CaptainChaos I'm 21 ans I used to do this when I was 7yo, so I know for sure it works and its real. you can use the lemon solution to write with art/small painting brushes and draw simple symbols or drawings, let it dry and iron the paper when you want to see the message :)
in japan, (where i live) there is a better one. its invisible ink that could be only seen under blue laser light, so it will remain secret even if you looked @ the message. this 1 is only single use. thums up!
@Serostern No you cant ....did you listen to the video? it says "normal lemon isnt strong enough for this project you need to use something concentrated.
I have tried a while ago with lemon juice(from the fruit directly) works fine over a flame, no need for any other ingredient, just the juice... Also try drying the sponge, inserting first then fill it with a syringe... takes a little more time to soak, but it should work well, without mixing with some other color, and becoming visible... ;)
What about the pressure in the ink cartridge? Shouldn't it be leveled out. When I refill my inc cartridge I always use a syringe to fix the pressure inside
Do this to empty color and print lighty picture and after that with invisible ink :) if you are familiar with photoediting you can try to findout how message would be best to show using layers... or maybe its not work :D just had idea of art that becomes done just after its arrived
@CaptainChaos This is a legit hack from MAKE Volume 16. Check the link in the description for the full project instructions. Though perhaps you could use this technique for a prank of some sort...
this is a top secret transmision that requires urgent responce: i have a CANON IP3300 printer that uses ink tanks instead of cartriges. these thank have a puncture valve on the top of them for refilling the tanks yoursef with generic ink using a hyperdermik nedle. if i inject the leamon solution directaly into the empty ink tank, will it still work?
I will be handing in my next essay this way. "How did I get a zero!?" "You didn't do it. You handed in a blank paper." "No! It was a secret essay! It was in invisible ink!"
Use RIT "Whitener & Brightener" laundry treatment instead of the lemon stuff. Then your print will show up under ultra-violet light. Unfortunately, most copy/printer paper already contains fluorescent brighteners. The fluorescent ink will show up better on an un-brightened or dark-colored paper.
re-fill the other colors, to hide your message in photos alternativley; create your plain text document, and take a screen cap of it, load said screen cap in to image manipulation program of your choice, add invisible ink message, print.

It might be simpler to clean the sponge and insert it dry, then inject your solution with a needle, rather than trying to squish in something soaking wet.
@jesperq8 Do you know what time zones are? There are many reasons why the upload date could be March 31st and it still be an April Fool's joke. Maybe it was already April 1st where the uploader was. Maybe they uploaded it as soon as it was April 1st *somewhere in the world*. Maybe they uploaded it *just before* April 1st, to be certain that it would be online on time. Etc...
@StealthyPotatoes, KipKay isn't the only person that does vids fore MakeMagazine, he's only one of them. He's still the best one. He also still makes vids for his chanel. Hope that helps!

Thanks for stating NOT to use lemon juice. Was sure gonna try that. That saved me a lot of time.
I'm gonna try this.
Proceed to print the whole bible, and smuggle it into north korea under the guise of a blank diary

and the best part is they also have a time machine. in the beginning there is text show with: April 1 2011. and it was uploaded on 31 March 2011
would the lemon result in parts in the printer corroding given that it is acidic, right?
@tish2609 It flushes out the remaining yellow ink in the nozzle.
best make episode in a while aka something was actually done
Add &vintage=1911 to the end of the url and make sure Closed Captioning is on for the 1911 effect!

For a Typographic designer this is amazing! Nice!!!!!!
@luigi90900 Cause it's the lightest ink. I think you could use Blue instead but you'll have to print more pages to clean the ink nozzle ;)
You can also use a Lightbult(incadesent) to revel the message, its just the heat doing it

@tippitoverplease the yellow is least likely to be visible because of residue of the old ink.

how hot does the iron need to be and is it a good finish?
@TheWillsono Inkjet printers squirt ink onto paper, but laser printers fuse black plastic onto paper.
@dcool96 I think they taped it so they can refill it when need be.
I will be handing in my next essay this way.
"How did I get a zero!?"
"You didn't do it. You handed in a blank paper."
"No! It was a secret essay! It was in invisible ink!"
This channel is so cool
I find it a bit amusing that Collin is helping with other's videos while he is doing his own...
you could also use the ink from invisible pens and put it in the cartridge

Will powdered Citric Acid work?
Is there a way to crystallize lemon yourself?

alternativley; create your plain text document, and take a screen cap of it, load said screen cap in to image manipulation program of your choice, add invisible ink message, print.
@CaptainChaos well its says it right under the video. Uploaded by makemagazine on Mar 31, 2011
You are form Belgium, so i did not expect a real reply.
does this werck your printer? cuz i think it sort of will...
Do this to empty color and print lighty picture and after that with invisible ink :) if you are familiar with photoediting you can try to findout how message would be best to show using layers
would this harm the printer in any way?
since you a spy, your lemon juice should be "shaken not stirred"
can this be done with a black ink cartrige?
@daniyellowjello You can use actual lemon.
Uploaded on March 31, filmed on April 1st?
doesnt this work with black/ultraviolet light?
@pegasussan no, but you cant refill the cartridge
what is that program he used to print???
I wonder if watermark ink would work with this. Only one way to find out
wouldnt it have been easier to place the sponge back in the cartridge and then add the lemon water with an eye dropper or syringe?
How long does the ink on paper last?
is the make magazine available in canada ??
Can you make all the sponges lemon juice?
but you can use an empty ink and the refill holes
what happened to weekend projects with kipkay!!!
this is what howcast should look like!
@awsdrf101 no it would be too challenging to get all of the black ink out of the ink sponge
Would a blacklight also reveal the invisible ink?
sardinerecipe I don't think so.
Can u plzz tell me any micro lettering written letter
im going to make this, print out a essay with the invisible ink, hand it in with iodine
@tippitoverplease yeah, but it would be way harder to clean!
whats the purpose of having crystalized lemon...not in the video jus in general
So you guys are saying if I make a page with invisible ink on it then i instantly become a secret agent?
Hi,
Is there a way to use these kinds of inks to print an invisible picture? Do I have to do this for every color ?
Thank you
me too

@xxxRyanxEdgexxx thats just a glitch in the matrix
@daniyellowjello Yes you can.

@gozerchris lmfao yeah i was like wow that agent is nervous as hell
I'll start ironing my make magazine to see if they used any of this there
this messeage will blow up in 3..2..1.. :)
hi there. could i use a lemon? because i can't find
a crystalized lemon.
That's dumb and crazy to say!use your brains.
@StealthyPotatoes, KipKay isn't the only person that does vids fore MakeMagazine, he's only one of them. He's still the best one. He also still makes vids for his chanel. Hope that helps!
You can also use piss ;)
just piss inside the cartridge :D
This message did not self destruct?
u didnt explain why not using a black cartridge, i think thats more easy to make, at least you wont mix up with other colors !
Might as well remove the other sponges to prevent them from ending up on the paper.
What people would say if I had an ironing machine nearby my printer?
@SuperWario094 Do it with depleated cartridge.
Very cool!
@tomvm01
He has his own channel you know.
@CaptainChaos its posted Mar 31,
COOLEST THING EVER....
I thought it was a April Fools Joke!
It MUST be shaken, never stirred!
What happened to Kipkay??
I wonder why he didn't use a dremel to open the ink cartridge.
Holy crap, I have the exact same printer and I was about to throw it away :O
I guess I'll use it for something like this instead :P
Can it work for images too?
I guess so
My goodness! You're shaking like a leaf. Had enough coffee today?
this is awesome i'm definately using this
I'd drink that stuff - challenge accepted :))
This is news? I remember writing in lemon juice in the '50s when I was a kid.
Oh, and what will people think when they see a blank page?
@xxxRyanxEdgexxx they'r in differen timezone not in the future
One of the first 100!
@higingbotham no hes not but hey i bet you registered for get the laser i bet in that part you like him
what is the code though...
I'm kinda upset that they didn't do the " this message will self destruct" thing.
lol i like the bow tie
Teach us how to make your own normal ink!
i thought the sponge was a slice of butter for a good 10 seconds
