Fluorescent Ink
Fluorescent ink is water-based and contains pigments that absorb ultraviolet (UV) light and re-emit it as visible light, making the colours glow in the dark.
Have you used DTF fluorescent ink before? If not, here are some important points:
Fluorescent ink is usually less viscous than standard DTF ink.
You need a dedicated printer for fluorescent ink; it cannot be mixed with regular DTF ink.
Fluorescent inks are semi-transparent, so their colours are weaker than ordinary inks.
To get vibrant colours with fluorescent ink, the Spot Colour Printing technique works best. In Adobe InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, or Acrobat, you can apply spot colours to each colour individually on separate layers. This gives much more precise colours than the standard CMYK method. Many online tutorials are available to guide you.
