Champion Inks® Water-Based Fluorescent Ink – Fire Red

Champion Inks® Water-Based Fluorescent Ink – Fire Red

Champion Inks® Water-Based Fluorescent Ink – Fire Red is a high-intensity, eco-forward neon ink formulated to deliver explosive fluorescent red impact on 100% cotton and cotton/poly blends. This fire red tone lays down aggressive, high-saturation color with crisp edges and consistent coverage, while staying breathable and soft on the garment. The finish is matte, flexible, and lightweight with excellent stretch and wash durability—without the heavy plastic feel of traditional plastisol.

Engineered for streetwear capsules, nightlife merch, promo drops, festival pieces, and high-energy branding, this ink is UV-reactive. Under blacklight it flares with a hot neon-red glow, and in normal lighting it still looks charged and high-visibility. Phthalate-free and water-based, it supports sustainable production while keeping pro-shop print quality.
