So highlighters are as bright as they are because their dye is *fluorescent* which means it absorbs non-visible light and then reflects it back as visible light. That’s why they look like the glow. It’s because they actually do glow a little bit.
Printers simply don’t use fluorescent dyes, so they can never recreate that effect.
I suspect it’s entirely possible to use ink that does fluoresce, but we it’s probably more expensive/not that useful.
