Why LBX 98880 Fluorescent Pink?

Maximum Neon Impact

Fluorescent pigments absorb UV and short-wave visible light and re-emit it as visible light — producing a brightness no standard pigment can touch. LBX Flo Pink delivers a hot, electric pink that looks lit from within under natural daylight and explodes under blacklight. It’s the ink your customer will remember.

Built for the Pantone Mixing System

LBX 98880 is an engineered mixing base — formulated to behave predictably when combined with other LBX inks. Use the free formulator at formulator.screenprintsupplies.com to get exact gram-weight ratios for any fluorescent Pantone target. Repeatable results run after run, job after job.

Low Cure for Performance Fabrics

Full cure at 280°F means you can safely run fluorescent pink on polyester, tri-blends, and athletic wear without scorching fabric or damaging heat-sensitive treatments. Lower cure temps also reduce dye migration risk on poly garments — critical on the bright-colored performance wear where neon pink is most in demand.

Clean, Consistent Printability

Smooth body holds detail from 86 to 160 mesh. Flashes quickly without ghosting or sticking to the platen — whether you’re printing it straight as a neon spot color or as part of a multi-color fluorescent design. Stays consistent from the first shirt to the last.

Available Sizes

  • QQuart (32 oz) — Great for shops adding fluorescent pink to the lineup or running smaller neon accent jobs
  • GGallon (128 oz) — The standard production size for shops running regular fluorescent and Pantone mixing work
  • 55-Gallon Pail — High-volume contract shops running neon programs, event merch, or awareness apparel at scale

See It in Action

Printing with LBX 98880 Fluorescent Pink

Step 1 — Screen Prep

Use 110–160 mesh for spot color work. A thicker stencil EOM gives you a richer ink deposit and more saturated fluorescent pop — especially important over an underbase on darker garments where you need maximum neon intensity.

Step 2 — Print

Print wet-on-white or wet-on-flashed underbase. Use a 70–75 durometer squeegee at moderate pressure. Fluorescent inks are naturally thinner-bodied — avoid over-squeegeeing to preserve ink deposit thickness and color saturation.

Step 3 — Flash (If Needed)

Flash to dry-to-touch before printing additional colors. Keep flash times short — fluorescent pigments are sensitive to prolonged heat exposure, which degrades color intensity. Don’t over-dwell under the flash unit.

Step 4 — Cure at 280°F

Full cure at 280°F internal ink temp. Use a donut probe or thermocouple to verify — do not rely on belt speed alone. Overcuring fluorescent inks noticeably dulls the color, so dial in your dryer carefully and don’t exceed the target temp.

Where Fluorescent Pink Wins

Festival & Concert Merch

High-energy event apparel where neon colors are expected. Under stage lighting and blacklights, fluorescent pink stands out in ways standard inks simply can’t match.

Athletic & Run Apparel

5Ks, charity runs, and athletic programs that call for bold, high-visibility pink — especially breast cancer awareness events and women’s sports apparel where neon pink is a program staple.

Fluorescent Pantone Targets

Mix with LBX Flo Red for fluorescent coral and salmon tones. Mix with LBX White for neon pastel pinks. Use the free formulator to hit specific neon Pantone targets with precision.

Blacklight & UV Event Wear

Glow parties, nightclub promotions, UV runs, and rave apparel. Fluorescent pink under UV-A blacklight produces a vivid, unmistakable glow — print on white for maximum intensity.

Substrate Guidance

Best Results On…
  • White and light-colored 100% cotton tees
  • White polyester and performance wear (low-cure safe)
  • Light tri-blend fabrics
  • Over a properly flashed white or gray underbase on dark garments
Keep In Mind…
  • Fluorescent pigments have lower lightfastness than standard pigments — inform customers with long-term outdoor UV exposure needs
  • Always use an underbase on dark garments — fluorescent inks are semi-transparent and will not block the substrate on their own
  • Avoid mixing with opaque whites — it kills fluorescent intensity. Use LBX White sparingly for tinting only

LBX Flo Pink vs. Standard Pink Plastisol

Feature Inktek LBX 98880 Flo Pink Standard Pink Plastisol
Visual Impact Fluorescent / UV-Reactive Standard Chroma
Cure Temperature 280°F (Low Cure) 320°F (Typical)
Pantone Mixing System ✔ LBX Mixing Base Varies by Brand
Safe for Performance / Poly Fabrics ✔ Yes Risk of Scorching
Blacklight / UV Glow ✔ Yes No
Opacity (No Underbase) Low — Requires Underbase on Dark Moderate–High

⚠ Don’t Overcure Fluorescents

Exceeding cure temp noticeably dulls fluorescent pigments. Target 280°F internal ink temp and don’t go over. Use a donut probe to verify — surface temperature guns are not accurate enough. Dial in your belt speed carefully; overcured fluorescent pink reads as a flat, lifeless hot pink instead of a vivid neon.

⚠ Always Underbase on Dark Garments

Fluorescent inks are semi-transparent by nature. On any garment darker than a light gray, print a white or gray underbase first, flash it fully, then print the fluorescent pink on top. Without an underbase on dark shirts the substrate kills the neon effect entirely.

LBX 98880 Is a Pantone Mixing Ink — Not Just a Color

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What makes fluorescent pink different from a standard hot pink plastisol?

Fluorescent inks use special pigments that absorb UV and short-wave visible light and re-emit it as visible light — producing a brightness standard pigments physically can’t achieve. The result is a pink that looks lit from within under daylight and glows intensely under blacklight. Standard hot pink is vivid; fluorescent pink is electric. The tradeoff is lower opacity and reduced long-term lightfastness compared to standard plastisols.

Do I need an underbase when printing on dark garments?

Yes — always. Fluorescent inks are semi-transparent by nature and cannot block a dark substrate on their own. Print a white or gray underbase first, flash it fully, then print the fluorescent pink on top. Skipping the underbase on a dark shirt produces a muddy, low-contrast result that kills the neon effect entirely.

Can I use LBX 98880 on polyester and performance wear?

Yes — full cure at 280°F is one of the key advantages of the LBX formula. You can safely run it on polyester, tri-blends, and athletic fabrics without scorching or damaging heat-sensitive treatments. The lower cure temp also reduces dye migration risk on poly garments compared to standard-cure inks running at 320°F.

Will LBX Flo Pink glow under blacklight?

Yes. Fluorescent plastisols are UV-reactive and produce a vivid glow under UV-A blacklight. For maximum glow intensity, print on a white garment or over a white underbase — the contrast between the substrate and the fluorescent ink amplifies the effect. This makes LBX Flo Pink ideal for glow parties, UV runs, nightclub promotions, and rave apparel.

Why did my fluorescent pink look dull after curing?

Overcuring is the most common cause of dull fluorescents. If the ink exceeds 280°F, the fluorescent pigments degrade and lose vibrancy. Verify your actual internal ink temp with a donut probe — not a surface gun or belt speed estimate. Also confirm you printed on a white or light base; dark substrates without an underbase will always produce flat, dull results regardless of cure temp.

How do I use LBX 98880 in the Pantone Mixing System?

Go to formulator.screenprintsupplies.com, enter your fluorescent Pantone target, and the free LBX Formulator returns exact gram-weight ratios for each LBX base needed. Weigh your components on a digital gram scale accurate to 0.1g, mix thoroughly, and make a test print before running the job. Common combinations include Flo Pink + Flo Red for fluorescent coral, and Flo Pink + LBX White for neon pastel pinks.
