Problem getting florescent orange

[Imkevin]

I am having issues trying to achieve florescent orange onto fabrics. I have a 6 colour setup cmyk flo yellow flo pink.Does anybody have any recommendations on how to get a good flo orange, like a safety orange.

Any help appreciated,
Cheers

From my experience as a litho printer, certain colours are not possible to reproduce in CMYK or RGB.
Fluorescent colours were always spot colours specially made. Orange is one of many colours that can not be accurately reproduced.
Search online for Pantone colour charts to see which colours look OK.
The stock being printed on will also affect how the colour looks.
Pantone produce gloss and matt swatches to show the differences.

How have you profiled the two flourescent ink channels?

I would try printing swatches with incremental changes per swatch, and keep printing, pressing and refining til you hit what you're wanting - this is what we do when we have to colour match for clients, so don't see it would be any different for this, although we haven't gone down flouro inks route.

Thank you for the response,
This is what I am currently trying but I am unable to get the vibrant orange the customer is looking for. It could be the print medium that is the issue. We print on heavy duty fabrics.
