Description
What Is AllureGlow Violet/Violet Glow in the Dark Plastisol Ink?
AllureGlow Plastisol Glow in the Dark Ink – Violet/Violet is a professional-grade photoluminescent screen printing ink that prints a rich, deep violet under normal daylight or indoor lighting — and glows a deep, ethereal violet-blue in the dark after charging under any ambient light source. It is phthalate-free, PVC-free, ready for use straight from the container on cotton and cotton/poly blends, and cures at standard plastisol temperature on a conventional conveyor dryer.
Violet sits at the far edge of the visible light spectrum — the deepest, most saturated cool tone that human vision can perceive before wavelengths shift beyond visible light entirely. This extreme position on the spectrum gives violet a visual weight and psychological depth that no other color carries. In daylight, AllureGlow Violet/Violet reads as a bold, rich violet with a deep purple quality. In the dark, the phosphorescent emission shifts slightly toward the blue-violet end of the spectrum — creating a glow that feels deep, cosmic, and genuinely supernatural in quality. It is the color of dark nebulae, the night sky at dusk, and the edge of the light that the human eye struggles to hold.
Among the 10 colors in the AllureGlow plastisol series, Violet/Violet commands a design space that no other color touches. Green owns the toxic and horror category. Blue owns the sci-fi and oceanic space. Violet owns the mystical, gothic, cosmic, and supernatural — witchcraft, magic, dark fantasy, occult, and the brooding aesthetic of black-and-purple horror that is having an enormous moment in apparel. For decorators serving any of these markets, AllureGlow Violet/Violet is the only glow ink that delivers the right color story in both daylight and darkness.
For synthetic and performance fabrics, add CLA-100 additive. For shops running eco-conscious or soft-hand programs, the same violet glow effect is available in the AllureGlow HSA Water-Based and DC Series Discharge formulas.

What Customers Love About It
Violet/Violet is the AllureGlow color that fills a market gap that no other glow ink in the lineup addresses. The gothic, dark aesthetic, and witchcraft apparel market has exploded over the past decade — moon phases, crystals, tarot imagery, occult symbols, dark florals, ravens, and skulls rendered in deep purple and violet have become one of the most commercially successful categories in specialty apparel decoration. Customers in this market have strong brand loyalty, repeat purchase behavior, and a genuine appetite for glow effects that enhance the supernatural quality of the designs they love. AllureGlow Violet/Violet is the first glow ink that speaks directly to that aesthetic.
Beyond the gothic and dark aesthetic market, violet/purple is a globally significant color for royalty, spirituality, and celebration — it’s the defining color of Mardi Gras, a major color in pride merchandise, a core color for many universities and sports programs, and an enduring choice in women’s and girls’ fashion apparel. AllureGlow Violet/Violet gives decorators a glow upsell opportunity across every one of these markets simultaneously — from Mardi Gras parade merchandise to school spirit gear to Halloween haunted house shirts to pride apparel — all in a single, versatile ink that prints like standard plastisol and glows a deep, beautiful violet-blue in the dark.

How to Use AllureGlow Violet/Violet Glow in the Dark Plastisol
| Before Printing | Mix thoroughly before use. For long production runs, re-mix the ink periodically to maintain consistent phosphorescent pigment distribution and uniform glow output. Keep lids on containers when not actively printing to prevent contamination. |
| Mesh Count | 90–200 mesh depending on design detail and desired glow intensity. Coarser mesh (90–110) deposits more phosphorescent pigment for stronger, longer-lasting glow. Finer mesh (up to 200) works for detail work but reduces pigment deposit and glow output. For maximum glow intensity, 90–110 mesh is recommended. |
| Squeegee Technique | Heavy flood coat with light-to-moderate squeegee pressure. Avoid excessive downward pressure that can shear or crush phosphorescent particles and reduce glow performance. A generous flood and consistent stroke angle delivers optimal pigment deposit. |
| Underbase — Dark Garments | A white underbase is required on dark garments. Without an underbase, the dark fabric absorbs light energy rather than reflecting it through the ink film — dramatically reducing glow intensity and duration. Flash the white underbase fully before printing the Violet/Violet glow hit on top. |
| Underbase — Light / White Garments | No underbase required on white and light-colored garments. Print Violet/Violet directly for maximum pigment deposit and glow intensity. |
| Synthetic Fabrics | Add CLA-100 additive when printing on polyester, nylon, or other synthetic and performance fabric substrates to improve adhesion and wash durability. |
| Cure Temperature | 320°F (160°C). Curing time is 90–180 seconds depending on ink deposit thickness and garment color. Always verify dryer temperature with a donut probe prior to and during production. Confirm full cure with a wash test before running full production. |
| Cleanup | Standard plastisol ink cleaner — same cleanup procedure as any plastisol ink |
| Care Instructions for End Customer | Wash inside out in cold water on delicate cycle. Do not use bleach. Do not iron on print. Line or hang dry for best long-term glow durability. |

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What does AllureGlow Violet/Violet look like in daylight vs. in the dark?
In normal daylight or indoor lighting, AllureGlow Violet/Violet appears as a rich, deep violet plastisol print — a bold purple-violet with a soft hand feel. In the dark, after charging under any light source, the same print glows a deep, ethereal violet-blue. The phosphorescent emission shifts slightly toward the blue-violet end of the spectrum in darkness, giving the glow a cosmic, mystical depth that is entirely distinct from any other color in the AllureGlow lineup.
Is AllureGlow Violet the same as AllureGlow Magenta? What is the difference?
These are two distinct colors. Magenta/Magenta is an intense, electric blue-red — neon-adjacent, high-energy, suited to rave, EDM, and bold fashion graphics. Violet/Violet is a deep, rich purple-violet — brooding, mystical, and cosmic, suited to gothic, dark aesthetic, fantasy, and occult themes. In the dark, Magenta glows electric and vivid; Violet glows deep and ethereal. They serve completely different markets and design aesthetics.
Is AllureGlow Violet/Violet good for Halloween and gothic apparel?
Yes — AllureGlow Violet/Violet is the definitive glow color for gothic, dark aesthetic, witchcraft, and Halloween supernatural apparel. Purple and violet are the core colors of the gothic aesthetic, occult imagery, and the witch and magic design space that has become one of the most commercially significant categories in specialty screen printing. The deep, mystical violet-blue glow that Violet/Violet produces in the dark is exactly the color these designs demand after dark.
Is AllureGlow Violet/Violet good for Mardi Gras and pride apparel?
Yes on both. Purple is one of the three traditional Mardi Gras colors, making AllureGlow Violet/Violet a natural choice for Mardi Gras seasonal merchandise. For pride apparel, violet and purple are essential parts of the rainbow spectrum, and a glowing violet print adds a vivid, celebratory dimension to any full-spectrum pride design.
Is AllureGlow Violet/Violet safe for children’s clothing?
Yes. AllureGlow Violet/Violet is phthalate-free and PVC-free, manufactured using only phthalate-free plasticizers, and compliant with all state and federal phthalate regulations. It is safe for children’s garments, youth apparel, and school spirit wear with no additional compliance reformulation required.
Do I need a white underbase when printing AllureGlow Violet/Violet on dark shirts?
Yes — a white underbase is required when printing on dark or black garments. The phosphorescent pigments need a reflective white surface beneath them to absorb light and produce a strong, sustained violet-blue glow. Without an underbase on dark fabric, the substrate absorbs light energy before it reaches the glow pigment — significantly reducing intensity and duration. On white and light-colored garments, no underbase is needed.
Can I print AllureGlow Violet/Violet on polyester or performance fabrics?
Yes — with the addition of CLA-100 additive. For 100% cotton and cotton/poly blends, Violet/Violet is ready to use straight from the container. For polyester, nylon, and other synthetic or performance fabrics, add CLA-100 to improve adhesion and washfastness.
What mesh count should I use for AllureGlow Violet/Violet?
AllureGlow Violet/Violet can be printed through 90–200 mesh screens. For maximum glow intensity, use a coarser mesh in the 90–110 range to maximize phosphorescent pigment deposit. Finer mesh counts up to 200 are appropriate for detail work but will deposit less pigment and produce a softer glow output.
What temperature does AllureGlow Violet/Violet cure at?
AllureGlow Violet/Violet cures at 320°F (160°C). Curing time is 90–180 seconds depending on ink deposit thickness and garment color. Always verify dryer temperature with a donut probe before and during production, and confirm full cure with a wash test before running full production.
Is AllureGlow Violet/Violet available in water-based or discharge versions?
AllureGlow USA offers glow-in-the-dark inks in three formulas from River City Supply: this Plastisol Series, the HSA Water-Based Glow Series (cotton, blends & synthetics, softer hand), and the DC Series Discharge Glow (water-based discharge for 100% cotton — softest hand, zero surface buildup).
