    You can’t – you need fluorescent ink.

    But you can print onto fluorescent vinyl. Black print on fluorescent yellow vinyl works well and looks good.

    if you create your text with a small outline just print the outline on fluorescent and you can contour cut on the versacam, would this noy be a solution to your problem.

    The only thing I’ve found is that colours change when printing onto fluorescsent vinyl.

    Jasons right. I think it would be very straightforward on an edge.

    I’ve never printed fluorescent on mine but have printed white reflective to change the colour using translucent foils.
