What is Flo Yellow DI‑159 LB best used for?
Flo Yellow DI‑159 LB is ideal for fluorescent, high‑visibility designs on safety shirts, spirit wear, fan gear, and any graphic that needs a bright neon yellow accent, outline, or fill to stand out.
Is Flo Yellow DI‑159 LB a low‑bleed, low‑cure plastisol ink?
Yes. Flo Yellow DI‑159 LB is part of the Dynamic Standard Fluorescent Low‑Cure line, formulated to cure at lower plastisol temperatures and help control dye migration on polyester and blends.
What cure temperature should I use with Flo Yellow DI‑159 LB?
Low‑temperature fluorescent plastisol inks typically cure around 270–280°F at the ink film, which helps prevent scorching and reduces dye migration compared to standard 320°F cures; always follow the product label and verify cure with a temperature probe and wash test.
Which mesh counts work well with fluorescent yellow plastisol ink?
Flo yellow inks usually print best through medium mesh counts that balance strong coverage and detail, such as 110–160 mesh for solid areas and 156–200 mesh for finer detail or softer prints.
Can I print Flo Yellow DI‑159 LB directly on dark garments?
You can print Flo Yellow directly on dark garments for a more transparent neon look, but for maximum brightness and opacity most printers lay down a smooth white underbase first and then print Flo Yellow on top.
What fabrics can I print with Flo Yellow DI‑159 LB?
Flo Yellow DI‑159 LB works great on cotton, 50/50 blends, tri‑blends, and 100% polyester when used with proper low‑cure settings and, on bleed‑prone fabrics, appropriate low‑bleed whites or underbases. For extreme “bleeders,” Lawson recommends test prints and the use of blockers.
Does Flo Yellow DI‑159 LB glow under black light?
Fluorescent yellow inks are formulated for maximum brightness under normal lighting and often react under black light, but you should print sample garments and test them in your actual environment to confirm the exact effect.
Where can I get help using Flo Yellow DI‑159 LB?
Lawson’s support team in St. Louis, Missouri and Marietta (Atlanta), Georgia can help you select mesh counts, emulsions, squeegees, underbases, and cure settings to get the best results from Flo Yellow DI‑159 LB in production.
