Description

What Is Allureglow Plastisol Series Reflective Ink?

Allureglow Plastisol Series Reflective Ink is a specialty screen printing ink engineered with retroreflective glass microsphere technology — the same principle behind highway signage, safety vests, and high-visibility gear. When light from a headlight, flashlight, or camera flash hits the print at night, the glass beads refract and return that light directly back to the source, producing a powerful, eye-catching glow that’s visible from hundreds of feet away. During the day, the ink appears as a subtle silver-gray or translucent finish that integrates cleanly into virtually any design.

Unlike some reflective inks that require a white or colored underbase, Allureglow’s Plastisol Series is formulated for direct printing onto fabric. This simplifies production, reduces screen counts, and delivers a consistently clean result without the added opacity of an underbase layer beneath the reflective coat.

Key Features

Retroreflective Technology Glass microsphere bead technology reflects light directly back to its source for maximum night visibility
Direct Print Formula Print directly onto garments — no underbase required, reducing screen counts and simplifying production
Plastisol Base Industry-standard plastisol carrier ensures excellent adhesion, durability, and compatibility with standard flash and conveyor cure equipment
Works on Dark & Light Fabrics Effective reflective performance on both light and dark-colored garments without requiring a separate underbase layer
Daytime Appearance Subdued silver-gray tone in daylight transitions to high-intensity retroreflective brilliance when a direct light source hits at night
Versatile Applications Ideal for athletic apparel, streetwear, workwear, safety gear, event merchandise, promotional products, and more
Washfast & Durable Maintains reflective performance through repeated industrial and home wash cycles when properly cured

What Customers Love About It

Screen printers love the Allureglow Plastisol Series for its no-fuss, single-hit approach. Because there’s no underbase step, production runs are faster, screens are fewer, and registration complexity drops significantly. The ink prints through standard mesh counts and cures on the same conveyor dryer settings used for conventional plastisol — no new equipment, no special training. Customers producing athletic uniforms, safety apparel, and fashion streetwear particularly appreciate the dual-nature look: clean and understated in daylight, dramatic and high-visibility at night. The reflective effect photographs strikingly under flash photography, making it extremely popular for limited-edition drops and merchandise that performs on social media as much as it does on the field or job site.

Common Applications

Allureglow Plastisol Series Reflective Ink is used across a wide range of markets and garment types, including:

  • Running, cycling, and endurance sport apparel requiring after-dark visibility
  • Hi-vis and occupational safety workwear and PPE garments
  • Streetwear, fashion, and limited-edition drops with reflective graphic elements
  • Athletic team uniforms, jerseys, and performance wear
  • Promotional event merchandise and concert apparel
  • Tactical and outdoor gear requiring low-light visibility
  • School, club, and organizational apparel where safety and branding intersect

How to Use Allureglow Plastisol Reflective Ink

Mesh Recommendation 86–110 mesh (34–43 cm) recommended for optimal glass bead deposit and reflective intensity
Underbase Do not use an underbase. Print directly onto the garment only. An underbase will reduce reflective performance by creating an opaque layer between the ink and the fabric.
Print Method Direct print only — one hit preferred. A second flood/stroke may be used to increase glass bead deposit for enhanced reflectivity if needed
Squeegee Medium durometer (65–75 shore) squeegee with moderate pressure; avoid excessive downward pressure that can shear glass beads
Flash Cure Flash to gel between colors if needed; do not over-flash as this can pre-cure the ink surface and reduce bead adhesion
Cure Temperature 320°F–330°F (160°C–165°C) through a standard conveyor dryer; verify full cure with a donut probe or wash test
Mixing / Tinting Do not mix with standard plastisol inks — adding pigment will significantly reduce or eliminate retroreflective performance
Cleanup Standard plastisol screen wash / emulsion cleaners; follow standard shop cleanup procedures

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Do I need to use an underbase with Allureglow Plastisol Reflective Ink?

No. Allureglow Plastisol Series Reflective Ink is formulated for direct printing onto the garment only. Do not apply an underbase layer. Adding an underbase creates an opaque barrier between the reflective glass beads and the fabric, which will significantly reduce or completely eliminate the retroreflective effect.

What is retroreflective ink and how is it different from glow in the dark ink?

Retroreflective ink contains glass microspheres that bounce light directly back toward the light source — like a car headlight, flashlight, or camera flash. This creates a highly visible, bright effect in low-light conditions. Glow in the dark ink, by contrast, absorbs light and then emits it slowly after the light source is removed. Reflective ink requires an active light source to be visible; glow in the dark ink glows on its own in darkness after being charged.

What mesh count should I use for Allureglow Plastisol Reflective Ink?

We recommend printing through an 86–110 mesh (34–43 cm) screen. Lower mesh counts allow more ink and glass beads to transfer, which increases reflective intensity. For maximum reflectivity, 86 mesh is preferred.

What temperature does Allureglow Plastisol Reflective Ink cure at?

Allureglow Plastisol Series Reflective Ink cures at 320°F–330°F (160°C–165°C), consistent with most standard plastisol inks. Verify cure with a donut probe or wash test before running full production.

Can I mix Allureglow Reflective Ink with other plastisol inks?

No. Do not mix Allureglow Plastisol Reflective Ink with standard plastisol inks or pigment dispersions. Adding opaque pigments will coat the glass microspheres and eliminate the reflective effect. Use the ink as-supplied directly from the container.

Does reflective screen printing ink work on dark shirts?

Yes. Allureglow Plastisol Series Reflective Ink works on both light and dark-colored garments. The retroreflective effect is driven by the glass beads reflecting light — not by an underbase — so no white layer is needed. In daylight, the print appears as a silver-gray tone against the fabric.

How durable is the reflective effect after washing?

When properly cured, Allureglow Plastisol Reflective Ink delivers excellent washfastness comparable to standard plastisol inks. Wash printed garments inside out in cold or warm water and avoid high-heat drying to maximize print longevity.

What types of garments and fabrics can I print on?

Allureglow Plastisol Reflective Ink prints on most standard apparel fabrics including 100% cotton, cotton/polyester blends, and polyester performance fabrics — T-shirts, hoodies, athletic jerseys, workwear, jackets, and accessories.

How do I get the best reflective results from this ink?

Use an 86–110 mesh screen, print directly onto the garment without an underbase, use a medium-durometer squeegee (65–75 shore) with moderate pressure, and fully cure at 320°F–330°F. Thicker ink deposits produce stronger reflective performance.

Can reflective ink be used as an overprint on top of other inks?

Printing reflective ink over other inks is not recommended, as the underlying ink layer can interfere with bead adhesion and performance. For best results, always print the reflective hit directly onto bare fabric. In multi-color designs, position the reflective hit on an area of unprinted garment wherever possible.
