Abstract:
1. A method of printing a tiled print product, wherein the tiled print product is composed of a plurality of print substrates that are disposed adjacent to one another in at least one row including even print substrates and uneven print substrates, and each of the plurality of print substrates is printed separately using a printer that creates a gloss gradient in a printed image in a characteristic direction of production of the printer, and wherein the at least one row is parallel to the characteristic direction of production of the printer, said method comprising the step of: a) selecting image information for the even print substrates in the at least one row of the plurality of print substrates of the tiled print product; b) inverting the characteristic direction of production of the images for the even print substrates in the at least one row of the tiled print product with respect to the characteristic direction of production of the images for the uneven print substrates in the at least one row of the tiled product to remove gloss discontinuities on the printed images of the tiled print product caused by the printer, wherein all images for the uneven print substrates have the same characteristic direction of production; and c) printing the images for the even print substrates in the characteristic direction according to the step b).
