Abstract:
A method for creating controlled scattering effects including (a) disposing at least one curable ink layer onto a substrate in an imagewise fashion or in a continuous film fashion; (b) applying a first cure to partially cure the ink layer (a); (c) disposing at least one scattering material onto the ink layer (a); and (d) applying a second cure to fully cure the ink layer (a); wherein the first cure and the second cure are applied in a manner to control the disposition of the scattering material on top of and penetration into the curable ink layer to control surface and subsurface scattering properties.

Claim (Index 20):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one curable ink comprises (i) a radiation curable monomer or prepolymer; (ii) a photoinitiator; (iii) an optional wax; and (iii) a gellant;\n wherein the components (i), (ii), (iii), and (iv) are selected to impart to the ink layer a selected degree of surface stickiness, surface inhibition, or a combination thereof to tune a degree of scattering material sinking within the ink layer (a).
