Champion Inks® Water-Based Fluorescent Ink – Shocking Pink
Champion Inks® Water-Based Fluorescent Ink – Shocking Pink is a high-intensity, eco-forward neon ink formulated for extreme visual impact on 100% cotton and cotton/poly blends. This shocking pink tone lays down explosive fluorescent brightness with clean edges and consistent laydown, while staying soft, breathable, and lightweight on the garment. The finish is smooth and matte, delivering flexibility, stretch, and wash durability without the thick plastisol feel.
Engineered for runway-style streetwear, nightlife merch, rave/festival pieces, and high-energy branding, this ink is UV-reactive. Under blacklight it charges with an intense neon glow, and in normal lighting it still looks loud, saturated, and premium. Phthalate-free and water-based, it supports modern sustainable print production without sacrificing pro-shop performance.
