Claim Text:
1. A method for rendering an infrared image pattern and 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 a second electronic pattern ink using said first color and including filled holes, said filled holes of said second electronic pattern ink representing areas in the second electronic pattern ink filled with a second color, said second color having infrared properties opposite of infrared properties of the recording medium; (c) electronically creating an electronic image region; (d) electronically painting, using said first electronic pattern ink, a background of said electronic image region; (e) electronically painting, using said second electronic pattern ink, a foreground of said electronic image region; and (f) 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 and such that the recording medium is only visible through said holes not painted with said second color when viewing the recording medium using infrared illumination.
