Glow-in-the-dark ink has an extremely high phosphorescent pigment loading, compared to other manufactures, therefore providing a brighter and more long lasting glow. Phosphorescent Glow Ink is ready to print, but WM does offer the powder and base for sale so the printer can mix his own glow ink at any strength he wishes. Great for novelty items.
