If I use a good digital camera to shoot fluorescent objects and print to an
Epson inkjet, I get some amazingly bright colors, but "fluorescent", by
definition, means colors beyond what can occur from the amount of light
available in the proper band of the spectrum, and stealing light from other
bands to increase emittance. That requires fluorescent inks to accomplish...
and is beyond standard ICC profile definitions, as they don't deal with
spectral data, only Lab values.
