- Color Strength, Brightness & Finish
Innovative vehicle technology has given DayGlo the ability to disperse a high loading of sub-micron fluorescent pigment particles in the StarFire II Bases, and yet maintain a workable rheology. Inks made from the StarFire II Bases will exhibit strong, bright fluorescent colors with a satin or semi-gloss finish.
- Fluorescent Color
The increased color strength from the StarFire II Base has not reduced the color brightness. In fact, an increase in color brightness and color stability is possible with the recommended formulations.

Technical Details & Test Data
- Press Performance
Sheetfed offset inks made from the STARFIRE II Bases have been run on high speed sheetfed presses at 9,000-12,000 impressions per hour and are capable of much higher press speeds with excellent performance characteristics. Excellent tack stability, anti-emulsification properties, faster setting and excellent drying characteristics are to be expected from inks formulated from StarFire II Bases.
