Fluorescent inks

Fluorescent inks have the same properties as normal sheetfed offset inks with additional glowing properties. Under normal daylight, the printing products have a glowing effect.

The fluorescent properties are achieved by the usage of special pigments which, however, show considerably lower fastnesses than conventional pigments. In practice, this means that the fluorescent effect during daylight is only temporary and the printing products should not be exposed to sun light. The fluorescent inks have no fastness properties and are not resistant to spirit and pyroxylin varnish. If printing products produced with fluorescent inks are to be print finished (foil laminating, dispersion and UV varnishing), colour shade changes might occur due to missing fastness properties. Therefore preliminary tests are necessary.

Fluorescent inks are to be processed like common sheetfed offset inks. Special image editing is not necessary.
