Champion Inks® Water-Based Fluorescent Ink – Brilliant Blue
Champion Inks® Water-Based Fluorescent Ink – Brilliant Blue is a high-intensity, eco-focused neon ink engineered for electric blue impact on cotton and cotton/poly blends. This vivid brilliant blue tone delivers a clean, high-saturation glow with sharp edges and consistent coverage, while staying breathable and soft on the garment. The finish is smooth and matte with excellent stretch, durability, and long-term wash resistance—without the heavy plastic feel of traditional plastisol.
Designed for fashion drops, nightlife merch, festival apparel, promo work, and high-visibility branding, this ink is UV-reactive. Under blacklight it pops with an intense blue fluorescence, and in normal light it still reads hot and high-energy. The phthalate-free, water-based system supports modern sustainable print workflows while delivering pro-level results.
