Claim:
1. A method for rendering gloss effect image patterns on a recording medium, comprising: (a) electronically creating an electronic image region; (b) electronically creating a first electronic image having a background and a foreground; (c) electronically creating a second electronic image having a foreground; (d) electronically creating a first electronic pattern ink, said first electronic pattern ink including a first color and first pattern holes, said first pattern holes having locations in said first electronic pattern ink, said first pattern holes being locations in said first electronic pattern ink where said first color is absent; (e) electronically creating a second electronic pattern ink, said second electronic pattern ink including said first color and a second color, said second color having locations in said second electronic pattern ink, the locations of said second color in said second electronic pattern ink corresponding to the locations of said first pattern holes in said first electronic pattern ink; (f) electronically creating a third electronic pattern ink, said third electronic pattern ink including a third color and said second color, said second color having locations in said third electronic pattern ink, the locations of said second color in said third electronic pattern ink corresponding to the locations of said first pattern holes in said first electronic pattern ink; (g) electronically painting the electronic image region by, (h) rendering, using marking materials, said electronic image region on the recording medium such that said first electronic 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 electronic 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 first electronic 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 second angle.
