摘要:
The present invention relates to expanding the range of image densities over which the manipulation of differential gloss as may be inherent in halftoned images may be achieved. By selectively applying halftones with anisotropic structure characteristics which are significantly different in orientation while remaining identical in density, a gloss image may be superimposed within an image without the need for special toners or paper. This technique may be enhanced across low and high density areas by application of clear toner to expand the range of image densities over which a desired glossmark image will bear an effect.

摘要:
A method for reduction of differential gloss as found in hardcopy image prints. The method comprises selecting a first halftone having a high apparent gloss characteristic and a second halftone having a low apparent gloss characteristic while retaining an identical matching density characteristic to the first selected halftone. a A determination is then made of which areas of the halftone image correspond to potentially high gloss and low gloss regions under normal printing conditions. The first halftone is applied to those portions of the halftone image determined as corresponding to potentially low gloss regions, and the second halftone is applied to those portions of the halftone image determined as corresponding to potentially high gloss regions of the halftone image.
摘要:
A method for reduction of differential gloss as found in halftone image hardcopy prints. The method comprises selecting either a single halftone or employing two halftones: a first halftone having a high apparent gloss characteristic; and a second halftone having a low apparent gloss characteristic. A determination is then made of which areas of the halftone image correspond to potentially high gloss and low gloss regions under normal printing conditions. An overlay of clear toner is applied to the hardcopy print of the halftone image. In one approach a single halftone is employed to control the physical area coverage of the applied clear toner layer so as to adjust the local gloss across for the determined regions and thereby balance the evenness of gloss across the entire hardcopy print of the halftone image. Greater physical area coverage is provided as controlled by the single halftone in low gloss regions, and corresponding less physical area coverage is provided in the low gloss regions. In a further approach two halftones are employed. The first halftone is directed to those portions of the overlaid clear toner determined as corresponding to potentially low gloss regions of the halftone image, and the second halftone is directed to those portions of the clear toner layer determined as overlaying potentially high gloss regions of the halftone image.

摘要:
The present invention relates to creating differential gloss images in clear toner by the manipulation of halftones employed prior to the depositing of the clear toner layer upon a substrate. By selectively applying halftones with anisotropic structure characteristics which are significantly different in orientation although remaining identical in density, a differential gloss image may be superimposed within even clear toner as applied to paper. Further, this technique may be used to enhance color toner Glossmark images across the low and high density areas of application where the differential gloss effect would otherwise be weak.
