Fluorescent Ink

I need help!! I do a lot of printing with fluorescent inks. I can not find a brand of Fluorescent Yellow ink that provides a good print. It seems like each brand I have tried is very thin and requires multiple coats which leads to a heavy print. Any suggestions??? Thanks in advance.

What color shirts?

Union ink makes an opaque series of fluorescent ink but its still a good idea to print a base on dark's.

Sericol makes a great WB discharge flourescent.

That's the point of fluorescent' the brightness of the colour is in part it's transparency. Take a highlighter pen and write with it, tha paper goes fluorescent yellow and the text it runs over stays opaque. All our fluoro prints go on top of two whites and the brand or ink is then irrelevant going on a nice white surface.
