Champion Inks® Water-Based Fluorescent Ink – Orange
Champion Inks® Water-Based Fluorescent Ink – Orange is a high-intensity, eco-forward neon ink built for bold, high-visibility prints on cotton and cotton/poly blends. This ultra-bright fluorescent orange lays down a vivid, high-saturation color that stays breathable and soft on the garment. The formula delivers a smooth matte finish with excellent stretch, durability, and wash performance—without the heavy plastic feel of traditional plastisol.
Designed for streetwear, festival drops, nightlife merch, and premium fashion graphics, this ink also features UV-reactive properties. Under blacklight it glows hard, and under normal lighting it still reads loud, clean, and electric. Phthalate-free and water-based, it supports sustainable print workflows while keeping pro-shop output quality.
