Description

Glow Blue ECBR — Electric Neon for Every Base

Matsui Glow Blue ECBR is a super-concentrated fluorescent blue pigment — designed for electric neon blue screen printing that standard pigments cannot achieve. Mix up to 20% into any Matsui base for maximum neon blue intensity. Or add to an already-mixed Neo Blue + base ink to electrify it with fluorescent blue without reformulating. PVC-free, OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certified. Must be mixed with a base before printing.

Why Matsui Glow Pigments

Super-Concentrated Fluorescent
Glow pigments are formulated for maximum neon intensity. At 20% concentration in a clear base, blue becomes electric.
🎨
Works in Any Matsui Base
Glow Blue ECBR is compatible with all Matsui bases — acrylic 301, discharge, stretch, PU 350 Soft-Tex, and special effects bases.
🔀
Electrify Existing Mixes
Add Glow Blue ECBR to an already-mixed Neo Pigment + base ink to push standard blue into neon fluorescent territory. No reformulation needed.
OEKO-TEX® Certified
OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certified. CPSIA and HR4040 compliant. Meets RSLs for major brands. PVC-free, phthalate-free, formaldehyde-free.
📐
Up to 20% Mix Ratio
Glow pigments support a higher mix ratio than standard Neo Pigments — up to 20% by weight for maximum neon intensity. Start at 10% and increase for more punch.
⚠️
Pigment Only — Base Required
This pigment will NOT adhere to fabric by itself. It must be mixed into a Matsui base before printing.

Why Screen Printers Choose the Matsui Neo System

The Neo system is not the easiest ink system to learn — it is the most powerful one. Shops that master it don’t switch away. Here’s why.

🎛️
Complete Control of Your Ink System
You decide the base — and the base determines everything: adhesion, hand feel, fabric compatibility, finish, and performance. Need discharge softness on dark cotton? Brite Discharge Base. Need stretch on activewear? Stretch Base. Need nylon adhesion? PU 350. One pigment system, every substrate. Pre-mixed RFU inks lock you into one formulation. Neo unlocks all of them.
🔄
Maximum Versatility Across Substrates
The same Neo Yellow pigment can be mixed into a discharge base for a dark cotton tee, a stretch base for a yoga top, a PU base for a nylon jacket, and a puff base for a dimensional specialty print — all as exactly the same Pantone yellow. No RFU ink system can do that.
💰
Most Economical Per-Print Cost
Neo pigments are highly concentrated — a 2-pound jar mixed at 10% yields 20 pounds of printable ink. Compared to pre-mixed RFU inks, the cost per printed garment is dramatically lower at volume. The upfront investment in pigments and bases pays back quickly for any shop printing more than a few hundred shirts per week.
🎯
Exact Pantone Matching — No Guessing
The free Matsui CMS Color Matching Software calculates exact pigment blend ratios for any Pantone code by weight. No visual approximation, no trial-and-error mixing. Enter the code, weigh the pigments, mix, print. Repeatable, verifiable, documentable for brand standards.
♻️
Minimal Waste and Inventory
Instead of stocking 50+ pre-mixed RFU colors (most of which sit unused), Neo shops stock 13 pigments and the bases they use. Mix only what you need for each job. No expired pre-mixed inventory, no color drift in stored pre-mixed ink.
📜
Meets the Strictest Brand Standards
OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certified. CPSIA and HR4040 compliant. PVC-free, phthalate-free, heavy metal-free, azo-free, formaldehyde-free. Passes the RSL requirements for Nike, Disney, Walmart, Target, and other major brand compliance programs. Pre-mixed inks vary — Neo doesn’t.

The shop that uses Neo is the shop that never says “we can’t match that color” or “we don’t print on that fabric.”

13 pigments + the right bases = the full Pantone spectrum on cotton, poly, stretch, nylon, discharge, standard, and specialty effects. That’s why high-volume contract printers and premium brand suppliers standardize on Matsui Neo.

Glow pigments work in every Matsui base — choose based on your substrate and finish goal:

Matsui BaseSubstrateEffect / FinishKey NotesBest For
301C Clear Acrylic BaseCotton, cotton-poly blendsSoft matte finish — semi-transparent on light garmentsStandard starting point for light garment water-based printing. Most versatile base in the system.Spot color on light shirts, standard WB production
Brite Discharge Base100% cotton with reactive dyes ONLYUltra-soft zero hand feel — pigment embeds INTO cotton fiberAdd Discharge Activator 3–6%. 12-hr pot life. No blocker needed on dark cotton.Dark cotton — premium soft-hand discharge
HM Discharge Base100% cotton with reactive dyes ONLYDischarge hand feel — high-moisture formula for warm/humid environmentsSame discharge chemistry as Brite, engineered for high-humidity shops. Discharge Activator 3–6% required.Dark cotton in warm/humid climates
301DM BaseLight AND dark cotton with reactive dyesOne base for light and dark — WB on light, discharge on dark cottonDischarge Activator required only for dark garment printing. Versatile single-base workflow.Mixed-run shops printing both light and dark cotton
Stretch Clear 301Cotton, cotton-poly, stretch fabrics, activewearFlexible matte finish — does not crack or peel on stretchRequired for garments with 5%+ spandex/elastane. Standard base cracks on high-stretch fabrics.Athletic wear, yoga, compression, performance tees
Soft-Tex Base 350 (PU)Nylon, polyester, blendsPolyurethane binder — excellent adhesion on syntheticsRequired for nylon and aggressive polyester. Use Fixer WF-N at 5% for best wash fastness.Nylon jackets, polyester athletic, synthetic blends
Acrylicon BaseCotton, poly (dry-clean only / non-wash)Specialty solvent-like performance — for dry-clean or non-wash applicationsDifferent wash fastness profile. For garments that cannot be washed.Dry-clean only fabrics, costume/theatrical garments
Pearl Binder 301Cotton, poly blends (light garments)Pearlescent iridescent sheen — adds shimmer to Neo colors⚠️ Maximum 2% pigment load only — much lower than other bases.Fashion prints, pearlescent specialty, pastel shimmer
High-Opacity Rutile BaseCotton, cotton-poly (light to medium)Higher opacity than 301C — more saturated ink filmUse when 301C is too transparent and more color density is needed without extra pigment.Semi-opaque fashion, deeper saturation on light garments
Special Effects BasesCotton, cotton-poly (light garments)Puff, high-density, metallic shimmer, glitter — dimensional effectsNeo pigments colorize specialty bases. Pigment load varies — test first.Dimensional, textured, shimmer, metallic specialty prints

🟢 Green rows = discharge bases (100% cotton + reactive dyes only). All bases require mixing Neo pigment at 10–15% by weight (Pearl Binder 2% max). Always test wash fastness on your specific substrate before production.

Combine Glow Blue ECBR With Other Glow Pigments

Glow Pigments can be blended with each other for electric mixed-color effects:

+ Glow Green EC5G
→ electric teal and cyan neon
+ Glow Violet ECGR
→ electric indigo and neon blue-purple
+ Any Neo Blue + base mix
→ push standard blue to neon fluorescent

💡 Note on Discharge: Glow pigments are compatible with Matsui discharge bases, but fluorescent pigments may not discharge as brightly as on light garments. Always print and cure a test swatch on your specific garment before full production runs. For maximum neon impact, Glow pigments typically perform best on white or light-colored garments.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Can I print Glow Blue ECBR by itself?
⚠️ NO. Glow Blue ECBR is a pigment concentrate — it must be mixed with a Matsui base before printing. Without a base, the pigment will not adhere to fabric.
What mix ratio should I use?
Start at 10% by weight into your base and increase up to 20% for maximum neon intensity. Higher concentrations increase fluorescent punch but may slightly affect hand feel. Test on your specific base before full production.
Can I add this to an already-mixed ink?
Yes — that is one of the most useful ways to use Glow pigments. Add 5–10% Glow Blue ECBR to any existing Neo Pigment + base mix to push the standard color into neon fluorescent territory without reformulating from scratch.
Does it work on dark garments?
Glow pigments are compatible with Matsui discharge bases, but fluorescent pigments may not achieve the same neon impact on dark garments as on light or white garments. Always test on your specific fabric and garment before production. For maximum neon visibility, light or white garments deliver the best results.
Can I mix Glow pigments with each other?
Yes — Glow pigments can be blended with each other for mixed-color neon effects. For example, Glow Blue + Glow Green = electric teal. Use a clear base and experiment with ratios to achieve your desired neon shade.
Is it safe for children’s garments?
Yes. OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certified, CPSIA and HR4040 compliant. Meets all RSLs for major brands. PVC-free, phthalate-free, heavy metal-free, azo-free, formaldehyde-free.
What is the difference between Glow pigments and Neo Pigments?
Neo Pigments (13 colors) are standard concentrated pigments for Pantone® color matching. They produce accurate, standard colors. Glow Pigments (8 colors) are super-concentrated fluorescent pigments that produce electric neon effects — they are not used for Pantone® matching but for maximum neon visual impact. Both systems use the same Matsui bases and can be combined.
