Abstract:
1. A method for creating a differential gloss image comprising: providing first and second anisotropic halftone structures, the first and second anisotropic structures having different orientations; applying one of the first and second anisotropic structures to image data in a first region of an image to be halftoned with a first halftone screen; applying the other of the first and second anisotropic structures to image data in a second region of an image to be halftoned with a second halftone screen; applying a mixture of the first and second anisotropic structures to image data in a third region of the image to be halftoned with the first and second halftone screens; and with a printer, printing the halftoned image comprising the first second and third regions on a print media substrate, whereby on the printed substrate, the first, second, and third regions each have a gloss characteristic which differs from that of the other two regions.
