It is an object of this invention to provide a method to print fluorescent toners together with and beside the process colors allowing to have fluorescent marks on the paper without significantly coloring these areas. These objectives can be achieved according to the present invention by using florescent toner in the fifth print module station of an electrophotographic printer equipped with five print modules, where four printing stations are equipped with black, yellow, magenta and cyan toners and a fifth station is equipped with substantially clear fluorescent toners to be printed on top of the color toners In further developments of the present invention, the clear fluorescent toner absorbs light in the UV-A range or comprises metallic pigments or metallic effect pigments added to the clear fluorescent toner.
