Best Answer

A special chemical is added to the ink called an optical dye. The optical dye kind of makes normally invisible elements of the color such as ultra-violet visible.

Have you ever noticed how some white clothes have a blue appearance? Again this is the effect of optical dyes used in laundry detergent to attempt to make a "whiter" white.

What makes a color fluorescent?

Fluorescent colors contain pigments or dyes that can absorb and emit light at specific wavelengths. They often contain fluorescent dyes that are able to absorb ultraviolet light and then re-emit it as visible light, resulting in the vibrant and intense colors that we perceive as fluorescent.
