Post by: DannyGruninger on September 16, 2014, 06:47:16 PM: So just an update...... I had allureglowusa.com overnight me some ink and no doubt the best glow ink I have used...... I wasn't able to get any photos of it but I will say it was pretty damn awesome...... They have waterbase discharge products as well so I'm going to test those next but so far the plastisol glow is the best I've seen. We went with the glow aqua color and it's a nice opaque tealish blue in the dark which is nice compared to the greenish color that you typically see. But just wanted to let everyone know the stuff works pretty damn good :)

What mesh count did you run this through, and did you put it over a base?

We run something that's probably pretty similar. New polymer based glow in the dark, available in multiple colors and lasts very long.

The longevity, color and brightness are directly related to the amount of pigment on the shirt. That means thick deposit, the thicker the better. We also underbased on black shirts as it provided more accurate color. I think we ended P/F/P through 80 mesh. There is a pix somewhere here on the board, it is so bright you could probably read by it!
