Still - I am wondering which process color output device (monitor, inkjet
printer, press, whatever...) can methodologoically (that is through a
conversion to PCS and then from PCS to the output color space) reproduce
fluorescent colors?
Sorry, but I just don't get it. If I take a photo of fluorescent color
surface with my (conventional film based) camera I'll not get fluorescent
color on my film and not on my prints from that film.
Also, if I reproduce that picture on whatever output process, again I'll
not get fluorescent color anywhere.
Or am I just clueless and in desperate need for some education?

PS: Nothing against uses of colorsync etc. outside print - but you can't
imagine how happy I'd be if it worked at least for print (fixing any
outstanding issues afterwards looks like a no brainer to me then - but
maybe things are different from a different point of view...).
