Recommendations:

The ink maker has more formulation flexibility by diluting the ink base up to 20% with extender varnishes, conventional ink oils, driers, tack reducing agents, rub & slip additives, toners etc...

VARNISHES : Alkyd / Phenolic / Low tack urethane type extender varnishes can provide Optimum setting characteristics, addition of a gloss varnish can significantly Increase the glossy on the print.
OILS : Compatible will all conventional ink oils / vehicles (O/S & L/P).
DRIERS : A combination drier of 1% of 6% manganese drier, cobalt drier will accelerate the drying but also darkens the color and cause color instability
TONERS : Various conventional non-fluorescent toners may be added, e.g., Napthol Red, Orange, CPC Green and Blue, Hansa Yellow etc., toner concentration from 0.1%-0.2% should be tried

NON-FLUORESCENT TONERS, HOWEVER, RAPIDLY

DECREASE THE BRIGHTNESS OF THE FINISHED INK.

Precautions:

To obtain maximum brilliance and cleanliness, all rollers must be thoroughly clean.
Fluorescent inks are very transparent and easily contaminated even by small residues of non-fluorescent inks
For maximum fluorescence, clean white stock should be selected; embossed and pastel papers produce unusual effects. Inks and paper should be pre-tested for adhesion, compatibility and fluorescent color value.
In accordance with good industrial practice, handle with care and avoid unnecessary personal contact. wash thoroughly after handling.
