    Ive never heard of luminous foils Tim, just flourescent,

    if you mean photoluminous like the fire exit signs that glow in the dark then you may be able to get it as a vinyl and have it sprocketed, then have a go at printing onto it

    As far as I know, there are only 2 fluorescent foils available for the Edge / Edge 2 (not for the FX!), and they are fluo yellow-orange (25m foil code P68381A), and fluo red-orange (25m foil code P69940A).

    Have you thought about printing the fluo colours using a white primer directly onto fluo yellow vinyl? Might get around the lack of fluo yellow foils.

    Cheers,

    Bit more complex, print onto fluo yellow, then mount the whole lot onto the apolar vinyl you need to stick to the motorcross parts.
    The lightest yellow foil that I know of is lemon yellow, but it’s not fluorescent.

    There are no other fluorescent colours in Gerber/Print1/Zero9 ranges as much as I can see.

    Sorry I can’t help more.
