Champion Inks® Water-Based Fluorescent Ink – Cerise

Champion Inks® Water-Based Fluorescent Ink – Cerise

Champion Inks® Water-Based Fluorescent Ink – Cerise is a high-visibility, eco-focused neon ink engineered for intense fluorescent impact on cotton and cotton/poly blends. This vivid cerise tone delivers an electric pink-red glow with heavy saturation and clean edges, while staying breathable and soft on the garment. The finish is smooth and matte with excellent stretch, durability, and wash performance—without the thick plastic feel of traditional plastisol.

Built for fashion lines, nightlife merch, festival drops, and statement branding, this ink is UV-reactive. Under blacklight it lights up with a high-energy neon presence, and in normal lighting it still reads loud and hot. The phthalate-free, water-based system supports sustainable production without sacrificing professional quality.
