That wouldn't work - the band would still be black. The reason is the
rapid local depletion of the chemoluminescence substrate caused by huge
amounts of the HRP (or whatever enzyme you use) resulting in a negative
band which is sometimes surounded by a dark rim where the protein
concentration drops.
