Abstract:
An aqueous ink-jet ink printing system, comprising:a specialty ink-jet ink comprising an ink vehicle having dispersed therein an effective amount of particulates, said particulates having directionally dependent light reflective properties, and wherein the ink-jet ink is ink jettable and said particulates are selected from the group consisting of pearlescent particulates, mica particulates, glitter particulates, coated silica composite particulates, coated plastic composite particulates, magnesium fluoride particulates, and combinations thereof; a specialty ink-jet ink pen configured for jetting the ink-jet ink; and a substrate configured for accepting the jetted specialty ink-jet ink, and an intensity of the directionally dependent light reflective properties is increased upon a second coating of the specialty ink-jet ink printed onto the printed substrate.
