Description

Fluorescent screen printing formulation is a specialized printing technique that uses fluorescent inks to create vibrant, eye-catching designs on various substrates, such as fabric, paper, plastic, and more. This process involves several key steps:

  1. Design Creation: The first step in fluorescent screen printing is to create or obtain the desired design. This design will serve as the template for the printing process.
  2. Screen Preparation: A screen is prepared by coating it with a light-sensitive emulsion. This emulsion is exposed to the design, typically through a photographic process, to create a stencil on the screen. Areas that are exposed to light harden, while areas covered by the design remain soft and can be washed away.
  3. Ink Mixing: Fluorescent inks are specially formulated to emit bright and vivid colors when exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light. These inks come in various colors, such as fluorescent pink, green, orange, and yellow. The ink is mixed and prepared for printing.
  4. Printing: The prepared screen is mounted on a printing press, and the substrate (e.g., a T-shirt or poster) is placed beneath it. The fluorescent ink is applied to the screen’s surface, and a squeegee is used to push the ink through the stencil and onto the substrate. The ink passes through the open areas of the stencil, transferring the design onto the substrate.
  5. Drying: After printing, the substrate needs to be dried to set the fluorescent ink. In some cases, heat curing or UV curing methods are used, depending on the type of ink and substrate. UV curing is particularly common with fluorescent inks because it enhances their vibrancy.
  6. Finishing: Once the ink is fully cured and dry, the printed material can undergo additional processes, such as cutting, sewing, or packaging, depending on the final product’s requirements.

Fluorescent screen printing  applications

  • Apparel: T-shirts, hoodies, and other clothing items with eye-catching fluorescent designs.
  • Posters and Art Prints: Creating vibrant posters and art prints that glow under UV light.
  • Signage: Producing attention-grabbing signs and banners for promotional purposes.
  • Promotional Products: Customizing various promotional items, like keychains, bags, and more.
  • Party Decorations: Designing fluorescent decorations for events and parties.

One of the main advantages of fluorescent screen printing formulation is its ability to create exceptionally bright and attention-grabbing colors that stand out, especially under UV light. This makes it a popular choice for items and designs where visibility and impact are essential.
