Description
What Is AllureGlow Yellow Glow in the Dark Plastisol Ink?
AllureGlow Plastisol Glow in the Dark Ink – Yellow is a professional-grade photoluminescent screen printing ink that prints a clean, vivid yellow under normal daylight or indoor lighting — and glows a powerful, high-intensity yellow 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 with no modifications to your existing workflow.
Yellow is one of the highest-performing glow colors in the AllureGlow lineup in terms of raw luminous output — delivering a bright, sustained glow that charges efficiently under any light source and emits with outstanding visibility in low-light and dark conditions. This makes it the natural choice not just for novelty and fashion applications, but for any garment where genuine after-dark visibility is a functional requirement. Safety vests, hi-vis workwear, running shirts, cycling jerseys, and school crossing guard apparel all benefit from the combination of a bold yellow daytime color and a high-intensity yellow glow after dark.
In production, AllureGlow Yellow handles exactly like any standard plastisol. It runs through standard mesh counts on manual or automatic presses, cures at 320°F on a conventional conveyor dryer, and cleans up with standard plastisol ink cleaner. The soft-hand feel under normal lighting is indistinguishable from a quality standard yellow plastisol — the glow effect is fully additive, with zero compromise on daytime color quality or printability.
For synthetic and performance fabrics, add CLA-100 additive to improve adhesion and washfastness. For shops running eco-conscious or soft-hand programs, the same yellow glow effect is available in the AllureGlow HSA Water-Based and DC Series Discharge formulas.

How to Use AllureGlow Yellow 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 across the run. 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) is appropriate for detail work but will reduce 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 Yellow glow hit on top. |
| Underbase — Light / White Garments | No underbase required on white and light-colored garments. Print Yellow 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 Yellow glow in the dark ink look like in daylight vs. in the dark?
In normal daylight or indoor lighting, AllureGlow Yellow appears as a bold, vivid yellow plastisol print — visually identical to a high-quality standard yellow ink with the same soft hand feel. In the dark, after charging under any light source, the same print glows a bright, high-intensity yellow. The daytime and glow colors are both yellow with no visible shift, giving the design a consistent appearance in both lighting conditions.
Is AllureGlow Yellow good for safety and hi-vis apparel?
Yes. Yellow is a standard safety and high-visibility color used across construction, utilities, road maintenance, and outdoor athletic wear. AllureGlow Yellow delivers the required bold yellow daytime color while adding a high-intensity glow that improves visibility in low-light and dark conditions — making it ideal for running shirts, cycling jerseys, school crossing guard vests, and workwear where after-dark visibility matters.
Is AllureGlow Yellow safe for children’s clothing?
Yes. AllureGlow Yellow 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 athletic wear, and school apparel with no additional compliance reformulation.
Do I need a white underbase when printing AllureGlow Yellow 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 yellow glow. Without an underbase on dark fabric, the substrate absorbs the light energy before it reaches the glow pigment — significantly reducing glow intensity and duration. On white and light-colored garments, no underbase is needed.
Can I print AllureGlow Yellow on polyester or performance fabrics?
Yes — with the addition of CLA-100 additive. For 100% cotton and cotton/poly blends, AllureGlow Yellow 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 Yellow?
AllureGlow Yellow 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 work for detail designs but will deposit less pigment and produce a softer glow output.
What temperature does AllureGlow Yellow cure at?
AllureGlow Yellow 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.
How do I get the best glow intensity from AllureGlow Yellow?
For maximum yellow glow output: use a coarser mesh (90–110), apply a heavy flood coat with light-to-moderate squeegee pressure, use a white underbase on any non-white garment, and fully cure at 320°F. Re-mix the ink periodically during long runs to keep phosphorescent pigment evenly distributed. Thicker ink deposits mean more pigment — which translates directly to brighter, longer-lasting yellow glow.
How should customers care for garments printed with AllureGlow Yellow?
Wash printed garments inside out in cold water on the delicate cycle. Do not use bleach. Do not iron directly on the print. Line or hang dry — avoid high-heat machine drying. These care instructions preserve both the daytime yellow color and the glow performance through repeated washes.
Is AllureGlow Yellow 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).
