    Abstract: Fluorescent green toners are provided. In embodiments, a fluorescent green toner comprises fluorescent agent-incorporated resin particles comprising a resin, a fluorescence brightener, and a yellow fluorescent agent having an absorption spectrum that overlaps with a fluorescence emission spectrum of the fluorescence brightener; and a cyan colorant; blue dye-incorporated resin particles comprising the resin and a blue dye; or both. The fluorescent green toner has a weight ratio of the yellow fluorescent agent to the cyan colorant and, if present, the blue dye, in a range of from 100:1 to 0.2:1, and the fluorescent green toner exhibits Førster Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) under illumination with UV light. Methods of making and using the fluorescent green toners are also provided.
