Who has the best choice of glow in the dark colors? Would probably need a yellow and a white.
-
Haven't tried these guys yet, but for affordable AllureGlow USA seems to be one of the only options.

the powder from Wilflex or Matsui is EXTREMELY expensive

Hi,
We offer 3 different selections in our glow in the dark series .
180 Phos - Flow Series . Based around Florescent colors and would need a white backer. Colors we offer, Flo Blue, Flo Green, Flo Lemon, Flo Orange, Flo Red, Flo Violet .. Will Show the Flo color in the day time and glow at night.
180 Phosphorescent yellow green. A clear base to be used on top of a white backer. Will look white in the day and glow at night.
180 Ultra Phos Flo. Double the pigment and double the glow .Colors we offer, Flo Blue, Flo Green, Flo Lemon, Flo Orange, Flo Red, Flo Violet .. Will Show the Flo color in the day time and glow at night.
I will attach the specs and a pic,, of the glow in action..
Black lights will make the ink pop that much more ..

I like the one stroke stuff.

The only really nice stuff like that I've had a chance to do was with that 180 series Phos yellow green, very good ink.
I bet a white/yellow base with that over it with 86 mesh or some such would be a good match.
I think this is one of those things where you can pick cheap or good, TBH.
Never seen one that was both, and I'd be a little suspicious if I did. :)

AllureGlow is excellent. We've used a bunch of the colors and some of the pigments. Super helpful people
as well. We recently put glow over a discharge underbase. I didn't think it would work as you need that whole reflection thing
but it looked awesome. They even have a line of HSA glow.
We print a ton of glow in the dark for some reason.

We have been using the AllureGlow and love it. AllureGlow makes a Black ink that glows green. It's mind blowing.

another vote for allure glow!

One more for allure glow, great plastisol glows. Wasn't happy with the DC though.

I have my first run of Allure Glow coming up. What mesh did you guys use? Solid art, I think it's on sapphire blue shirts. The daytime ink colors are white and black, I'm guessing the white is going to need an underbase.

we just did a run of allureglow a few weeks back.. used the plastisol.
the print was a white and a white with glow, and just glow (so it would glow under a black light or glow less when glowing at night).
white was on a 160/48 pfpf, glow was on a 110/71.
print was on a royal blue shirt.
worked awesome.
you could barely see the 'glow' ink during the daytime on the shirt itself, but in the dark it glowed great. the glow that was on the white was amazing. seemed like you could almost read by it.

Picked up some powder to mix up from Allure so I can see what I've been missing out on.
My uneducated guess is that I'll mix a clear with maybe 10-20% powder by weight since that's what I have lying around, but was thinking perhaps an HD gel would be a bit better for a putting down a thicker layer.
Any hints on which base and/or percentages for mixing?

I printed our logo with Allureglow's plastisols in most of their RFU colors. Attached is an image of picture taken lights off. You can see lights on lights off on our actual site.
Used 150S PFP.
They glow very very bright.
-
Traditional mixing percentages are 30% glow powder by weight.
Check with your ink manufacturer for their recommended mixing percentages. All clear inks will vary.

I have seen these in person and they are impressively bright.

I was thinking 30-40% would be the very top end, tried 20% to go on the safe side--still very bright.
Will have to do some more testing... and ink rep harassing. :)
