Claim One:
1. A method for rendering a micro gloss effect image on a recording medium using a color printer having multiple color marking materials, comprising: (a) electronically creating an electronic image region having a first image region and a second image region; (b) electronically painting said first image region of said electronic image region with single component black; (c) electronically painting said second image region of said electronic image region with multiple component black, said multiple component black being a combination of all single color marking materials in the color printer; and (d) rendering, using the color marking materials of the color printer, said electronic image region on the recording medium such that said second image region of said electronic image region is rendered with all single color marking materials in the color printer and said first image region of said electronic image region is rendered with only single component black marking material, such that said second image region of 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 and said second image region of said electronic image region is 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.
