Can you print neon Colours?
True neon colors are outside of the range that CMYK can print. To achieve a true neon color with a digital printer, these inks would have to be pre-mixed and have it’s own special ink cartridge within the printer. Rather, a non-specialty digital printer will use CMYK colors to create something similar to neon colors.
What is PMS color?

How many colors can you print in 5 color printing?
Depending on your printer and printing process, 5-color printing does not have to include C, M, Y, or K.

What does CMYK mean in 5 colour printing?
It has become much more economical in modern printing to use CMYK colors to overprint (blend colors on the page) to create the full spectrum of color without having to load the press with a custom or Pantone ink. It could also refer to a varnish or aqueous coating. Many printers in the CT area refer to this as a 5th color when quoting a job.
Which is the fifth colour of a print?
And as Philip Reagan commented, the fifth colour is usually a crucial colour for the corporate/brand image, such as the “Coca-cola red”, “IBM blue” or “Ferrari red”; when the colour is best to be consistent (and not dependent on the mixing). The most accurate answer, with cost estimates, you can only get from your print rep.
