Abstract:
Various variable gloss reduction techniques are disclosed. In one embodiment, a gloss reduction technique is disclosed using a textured roller and a wiper impregnated with fuser oil to create a differential gloss pattern that reduces the gloss of an image printed on a substrate. In one embodiment, a gloss reduction technique is disclosed using a combination of heat and pressure to create a differential gloss pattern that reduces the gloss in specific regions of an image printed on a substrate. In one embodiment, a gloss reduction technique is disclosed using a differential gloss pattern to generate a security mark on a printed image to prevent against copying or fraudulent misrepresentation of the image.

Claim (Index 1):
An apparatus for generating a security mark on a document having a smooth toner layer that forms an image on the document, comprising:\n a textured roller having a differential texture surface coupled to a heating element; a backing roller having a compressible surface coupled to a compressible element; and a controller coupled to the textured roller and the backing roller to control a temperature of the heating element and a compressibility of the compressible element, wherein the temperature and the compressibility are controlled to imprint a differential gloss pattern onto the smooth toner layer of the document when the document is rolled between the backing roller and the textured roller, the differential gloss pattern creating the security mark on the image.
