Champion Inks® Water-Based Fluorescent Ink – Purple
Champion Inks® Water-Based Fluorescent Ink – Purple is a high-intensity, eco-forward neon ink built for bold, high-visibility graphics on cotton and cotton/poly blends. This ultra-bright fluorescent purple 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.
Engineered for streetwear drops, festival merch, nightlife apparel, and premium fashion graphics, this ink is UV-reactive. Under blacklight it glows with an electric violet tone, and under normal lighting it still hits with deep neon energy. Phthalate-free and water-based, it supports sustainable print workflows while maintaining pro-level results.
