Precautions for the use of fluorescent color powder:

  1. Due to its poor light resistance, fluorescent color powder is not suitable for long-term outdoor application. So, it is not a good choice for outdoor screen printing.
  2. Fluorescent pigment is a mixture of fluorescent dye and synthetic resin, with 3-5 μm particle size. Fluorescent ink for screen printing is suitable for printing on papers and vinyl films. There are two types of fluorescent ink for paper printing: oxidative drying and evaporative drying.
  3. Fluorescent ink is suitable for screens below 200 meshes/inch (1 inch = 0.0254 m).
  4. 50-60g/square meters inking quantity on printed material will lead to relatively ideal color and light resistance.
  5. In case of transparent printed material, we should print write ink for one time before using the fluorescent ink, to improve the fluorescent effect.
