Abstract
Screen printing consists of various types including glow in the dark screen printing. This study aims to determine the effect of the ratio of phosphorus and transparent rubber on the final results of glow in the dark screen printing. This type of research is an experiment, which has independent variables, namely the ratio of phosphorus and rubber 2:5, 3: 5, 4: 5, and 5: 5, the dependent variable is the final results of glow in the dark screen printing which includes three aspects namely sharpness, texture, and adhesion, control variables, namely screen, cliche, coating technique, squeegee, base ink color, phosphorus color, fabric used and the person who made the screen printing. The data collection method uses observations conducted by 10 observers. Data analysis uses mean value data. The results of the analysis show that there is a significant effect between the ratio of Phosphorus and Rubber 2:5, 3: 5, 4: 5, and 5: 5 on the final results of glow in the dark screen printing which includes aspects of color sharpness, texture, and ink adhesion. In terms of color sharpness, a 2:5 ratio produces the sharpest color compared to ratios of 3:5, 4:5, and 5:5. In terms of texture, a 2:5 ratio produces the glossiest texture compared to ratios of 3:5, 4:5, and 5:5. In terms of ink adhesion, a 2:5 ratio produces the most adhesive ink compared to ratios of 3:5, 4:5, and 5:5.
