1. A method for rendering gloss effect image patterns on a recording medium, comprising:
(a) electronically creating a first electronic pattern ink, said first electronic pattern ink including a first color and holes, said holes representing locations in said first electronic pattern ink where said first color is absent; (b) electronically creating an electronic image region; (c) electronically painting, using said first electronic pattern ink, said electronic image region to create an electronic image region background having first color locations and holes, said first color locations representing locations in said electronic image region background where the first color is present, said holes representing locations in said electronic image region background where said first color is absent; (d) electronically painting a first predetermined portion of said holes within said electronic image region background with a second color to create a first image in said electronic image region; (e) electronically creating a second image; (f) electronically creating a stencil mask, said stencil mask having holes therein said holes having locations in said stencil mask, said holes enabling electronic painting through said holes, said holes corresponding to said first color locations; (g) electronically painting, using said stencil mask, said second image with a third color; and (h) rendering, using marking materials, said electronic image region on the recording medium such that said first image is visible when a relative angle between an observer's viewing angle and an angle of illuminating the recording medium by an illumination source is a first angle and said second image is visible when a relative angle between an observer's viewing angle and an angle of illuminating the recording medium by an illumination source is a second angle, said second angle being not equal to said first angle, said second image not being visible when the relative angle between an observer's viewing angle and an angle of illuminating the recording medium by an illumination source is said first angle. |
