System and method for producing color shifting or gloss effect and recording medium with color shifting or gloss effect

摘要

A gloss effect image pattern is created on a recording medium by electronically creating a first electronic pattern ink, the first electronic pattern ink including a first color and including holes, the holes representing areas in the first electronic pattern ink wherein the first color is absent; electronically creating an electronic image region having a pattern; electronically painting, using the first electronic pattern ink, a background of electronic image region and the pattern of the electronic image region; electronically painting a predetermined portion of the holes within the electronic image region with a second color; and rendering, using marking materials, the electronic image region on the recording medium.

主权项

1. A method for rendering a gloss effect image pattern on a recording medium, comprising:
(a) electronically creating a first electronic pattern ink, said first electronic pattern ink including a first color and including holes, said holes representing areas in said first electronic pattern ink wherein said first color is absent; (b) electronically creating an electronic image region having a pattern; (c) electronically painting, using said first electronic pattern ink, a background of electronic image region and said pattern of said electronic image region; (d) electronically painting a predetermined portion of said holes within said electronic image region with a second color; and (e) rendering, using marking materials, said electronic image region on the recording medium such that said electronic image region 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, said electronic image region not having said predetermined portion of said holes painted with said second color being not visible when the relative angle between the observer's viewing angle and the angle of illuminating the recording medium by the illumination source is a second angle, said second angle being not equal to said first angle.
