As [[Fluorescent_Yellow#Printing_tips|noted below]], it is best if printed last. Like all fluorescent inks produced by Riso, it [[Blacklight|glows brightly under blacklight]] due to its phosphorescent properties. This quality makes it a striking choice for posters and other printed materials designed for environments where blacklight is used. The ink's fluorescence is achieved through pigments that absorb ultraviolet (UV) light and re-emit it as visible light, enhancing its vivid and luminous appearance. ==Ingredients== {| class="wikitable" |- !

Fluorescent Yellow ink, in particular, can clog the perforations in stencils, preventing subsequent colors from printing effectively. For this reason, it is recommended to use fluorescent inks as the final layer in the print sequence whenever possible. {{Ink/preload}}
