Claim Text:
1. A method for rendering an ultraviolet image pattern and a gloss effect pattern on a recording medium having fluorescence properties and being a first color, comprising: (a) electronically creating a first electronic pattern ink, said first electronic pattern ink including a second color, holes, and a first pattern, said holes representing areas in said first electronic pattern ink wherein said second color is absent; (b) electronically creating a second electronic pattern ink, said second electronic pattern ink including said second color, a third color, holes, and the first pattern, said holes of said second electronic pattern ink corresponding to a predetermined portion of said holes in said first electronic pattern ink, said predetermined portion of said holes in said first electronic pattern ink being less than all said holes in said first electronic pattern ink, said holes of said second electronic pattern ink representing areas in said second electronic pattern ink to be filled with said third color, said third color being equal to the first color; (c) electronically creating an electronic image region having a background and a foreground; (d) electronically painting, using said first electronic pattern ink, said background of said electronic image region; (e) electronically painting, using said second electronic pattern ink, said foreground of said electronic image region; and (f) rendering, using marking materials, said electronic image region on a recording medium such that said fluorescence properties of the recording medium are only visible through said holes of said first electronic pattern ink that do not correspond to said predetermined portion of holes in said first electronic pattern ink when viewing the recording medium using ultraviolet illumination and 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 third 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.
