108 lf Glow in the Dark Plastisol Ink, a bright, greenish phosphorescent ink that glows in the dark in a darkened area. This ready-to-use ink is perfect for direct prints without any modifications and is best to be used on white fabric or over a white base. Test print the fabric before beginning production to ensure no bleeding or dye migration happens. Note that heavier ink deposits of 108 Glow-in-the-Dark will result in increased phosphorescence (glow brightness) and a longer glow after exposure to a bright light source. Also, be sure to test dryer temperatures and wash test printed products before and during a production run. With 108 Glow-in-the-Dark Plastisol Ink, you can experience an illuminated glow that will have an impact on your art or clothing.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
108 Glow-in-the-Dark is not a low-bleed ink. Always test print the fabric to be printed before beginning production. It is best to do some long-term testing on fabrics to determine if they are going to bleed. Bleeding or dye migration may not occur right away.
108 Glow-in-the-Dark is a very transparent ink and works best when printed on white fabric or over a white base.
Do not fuse or cure the ink at too high a temperature (over 330°F or 166°C) as the phosphorescent pigment used in the ink can be damaged and not glow properly.
Adding too much reducer, soft hand additive, or clear base will diminish glow. STIR the ink prior to printing on-press and after the addition of reducers or additives.
Heavier ink deposits of 108 Glow-in-the-Dark will result in increased phosphorescence (glow brightness) and a longer glow after exposure to a bright light source. Depending on the amount of light exposure to the ink, the darkness of the of the area where the ink is being viewed and the eye sensitivity of the person viewing the ink, the glow may be visible anywhere from 15 minutes up to two hours.
When making cold peel transfers for dark fabrics, back transfers with white ink. Cold peel transfers should be applied at 350°F to 375°F (177°C to 191°C), medium pressure (40 lbs.) for 10 to 15 seconds.
Test dryer temperatures and wash test printed product before and during a production run.
