I don't know if that bears on Jason's usage or not. I think the problem with the red cellophane, at least in Infocom’s case, is that you could too easily reveal clues inadvertently.

Seems like all you need is a) a supplier for the ink and b) a printer who's willing to use it for your job if you tell them where to get it. I think the term of art is “pen reactive ink”.

I don't remember any old games that used invisible ink but I certainly remember a few games that came with the little red cellophane viewer thingies that would allow you too see hidden text.

Then you look through the included red gel to see "through" the red pattern to see the answer. Sierra used this for both copy-protection and hint books.
