I also use Union's ink. I did once mix the glow ink with a tiny bit of flourescent green and printed directly on black shirts. Mine looked okay (and glowed well); when an employee used the same ink a week later, all the green color leeched out of it and the color was about the same as mucous.
It did show up, but I'd definitely recommend an underbase. It shows the design in the daylight a lot better, and also helps the glow-ability in the dark. I put Union's Brite Green on an ash shirt and put glow ink over that for a local bar (one of his shirts said, "Helping ugly people get laid for 20 years") and thought that worked pretty well. So far, we haven't been able to convince another local bar, which uses a guitar-playing skeleton on its shirts, that they should let us put some glow ink on the design, but I wish they would. I'm a big fan of anything glow-in-the-dark. TL > Hello, > We're doing shirts with glow-in-dark ink on darks...do we need a white > underbase? > THANK YOU! > --Scott -- Pat's Screen Printing 242 N.
