Champion Inks® Water-Based Fluorescent Ink – Chartreuse
Champion Inks® Water-Based Fluorescent Ink – Chartreuse is a high-visibility, eco-forward neon ink engineered for intense fluorescent impact on 100% cotton and cotton/poly blends. This bold chartreuse tone delivers aggressive neon yellow-green brightness with clean, high-saturation coverage, while staying breathable and soft on the garment. The finish is smooth and matte with excellent flexibility, stretch, and wash durability—without the heavy plastic feel of traditional plastisol.
Designed for streetwear, nightlife apparel, promo drops, festival merch, and high-energy branding, this ink is UV-reactive. Under blacklight it surges with fluorescent glow, and in normal lighting it still looks loud, high-voltage, and premium. Phthalate-free and water-based, it supports modern sustainable production while keeping pro-shop output quality.
