DPI Laboratory Unveils Fluorescent Security UV Ink for Catalyst Printers
St. Petersburg, FL – DPI Laboratory, a leader in UV print innovation, has introduced a new fluorescent security ink designed to help businesses deliver high-impact, tamper-resistant prints across a range of industries. The ink is UV curable and fully compatible with DPI's Catalyst Aventra™ and Catalyst Nanos™ printers, offering exceptional results for both direct-to-object and UV DTF workflows.
This fluorescent UV ink can be used in decorative applications and also functions as a security-grade solution, enabling anti-counterfeiting, authentication, and product protection applications.

"These new fluorescent inks give our customers the tools to create immersive, bold visuals that truly pop," said Lon Riley, a printing industry veteran and Founder and CEO at DPI Laboratory. "Whether you're printing hidden codes, creating unique promotional giveaways for a brand launch, or adding authentication to high-value items, fluorescent UV lets you print the impossible."
Use cases for DPI's fluorescent security ink include:
Counterfeit prevention on packaging, tags, and brand-critical assets
Authentication features on event tickets, IDs, and collectibles
Fan engagement tools in sports and entertainment
Enhanced visibility for retail, signage, and promotional items
Educational and maker environments exploring print experimentation and interactivity
Product traceability and tamper-evidence in industrial manufacturing
Covert verification and tracking in logistics and supply chain security
Interactive exhibit and display features for experiential marketing and trade shows
DPI's fluorescent security ink integrates seamlessly into its RIP software and workflow automation suite, allowing users to apply covert or high-contrast visual layers in both high-volume and short-run environments. The ink is part of DPI's bulk delivery system with automated stirring, helping minimize maintenance and reduce long-term costs.
This addition reinforces DPI's position as a category leader in UV printing technology, combining accessible, American-made innovation with advanced performance features for small and midsize businesses.
