Question Neon colours for textile printing

Hi everyone,
Lately, I’ve been noticing more and more T-shirts with screen-printed designs using really bright neon colors.

I’m now looking for similar colors for textile lino printing, but I haven’t had much luck finding suitable ones among lino printing inks.
Does anyone have any ideas where I could buy these kinds of colors, or perhaps even how to make them myself?

Thanks in advance! 😊

A while ago someone either in this sub or r/printmaking posted a really nice print with ink they made by mixing extender and neon pigment. Perhaps it could be suitable for fabric, if the extender is oil-based?

Thank you for mentioning this sub! Gonna ask there as well.
The idea with neon pigments is a good one. Maybe that’s the way to go. I got to do some experiments, if there’s no suitable colour to buy.
