hello,
i need to print glow in the dark over gildan 5000's in the color garnet. the print will be white ink with union glow in the dark over the top. how would you guys do that? what meshes? I've done this in the past and find that it is difficult to get a very uniform coverage with the glow ink. any tips or tricks?

Is this the same stuff? If you mean their Black Light Clear, in the past, I have used a 160, and don't really remember any coverage issues, but depending on what you have on hand, you may want to go down to a 125 or 140. Their tech sheet suggests from 85-156 (http://www.unionink.co.uk/media/97563/page_blackl_clear_tds__2014.pdf)
I just don't remember if what I used was this name, or if it had "glow" in it.

Double base through low meshes, means two flashes, then glow on top, also low mesh.
GID is a good example of the "blue water over white sand" concept.
Allureglow is the best we've seen.

if discharge is an option, buy the allure glow pigments and print with that.

Guys, he apparently already has the Union ink (though I suppose he can always get some other)
And no, I just found out it is not the same stuff as I posted from their current listings. The old stuff I had was F666 and was definitely labelled Glow in the Dark.
For that they say: For best results coarser meshes such as 41T-62T monofilament (6XX) should be used. Finer meshes up to 110T monofilament (10XX) can be used with less brightness.
