According to one implementation, a first non-white ink layer on is deposited on a substrate. Furthermore, a white ink layer is deposited over the first non-white ink layer and below a second non-white ink layer deposited thereon. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method for building a layered structure including a self-adaptive image, the method comprising: depositing a first non-white ink layer on a substrate; depositing a white ink layer over the first non-white ink layer; and depositing a second non-white ink layer over the white ink layer, wherein the first non-white ink layer and the second non-white ink layer include an image, and the white ink layer transmits a fraction of light from the first non-white ink layer to the second non-white ink layer in a backlit transmission mode such that both the first non-white ink layer and the second non-white ink layer contribute to the color of the image in the backlit transmission mode, and the white ink layer reflects most light incident to the second non-white ink layer in a front lit reflection mode such that the second non-white ink layer provides a majority of the color to the image in the front lit reflection mode and the first non-white ink layer provides a minority of the color of the image in the front lit reflection mode. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further including: printing a first color profile sample on the substrate; measuring color attributes associated with the first color profile sample while in a first display mode; and computing, by executing an instruction with a processor, an upper layer color profile based on the attribute measurement. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The method of claim 2, further including: printing a second color profile sample as a first layer and the first color profile sample as a second layer; measuring color attributes of the second layer while in a second display mode; and computing, by executing an instruction with the processor, a lower layer color profile based on the attribute measurement of the second layer. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The method of claim 3, wherein the step of depositing the first non-white ink layer includes printing the ink in accordance with the lower layer color profile. ### Claim 5 (depends on 3) The method of claim 3, wherein the step of depositing the second non-white ink layer includes printing ink in accordance with the upper layer color profile. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the first non-white ink layer has darker ink than the second non-white ink layer. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein depositing the white ink layer over the first non-white ink layer includes depositing the white ink layer directly on the first non-white ink layer, and wherein depositing the second non-white ink layer over the white ink layer includes depositing the second non-white ink layer directly on the white ink layer. ### Claim 8 A system for building a layered structure including a self-adaptive image, the system comprising: a printer configured to print white and non-white ink on media and a processor to instruct the printer to: deposit a lower non-white ink layer on the media; deposit a white ink layer on the lower non-white ink layer; and deposit an upper non-white ink layer on the white-ink layer, wherein the lower non-white ink layer and the upper non-white ink layer include an image, and the white ink layer transmits a fraction of light from the lower non-white ink layer to the upper non-white ink layer in a backlit transmission mode such that both the lower non-white ink layer and the upper non-white ink layer contribute to the color of the image in the backlit transmission mode, and the white ink layer reflects most light incident to the upper non-white ink layer in a front lit reflection mode such that the upper non-white ink layer provides a majority of the color to the image in the front lit reflection mode and the lower non-white ink layer provides a minority of the color of the image in the front lit reflection mode. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The system of claim 8, wherein the printer includes a colorimetry measurement module for measuring colorimetry attributes of a profile sample. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The system of claim 9, wherein a transmission color profile is determined based on a measurement of colorimetry attributes of a profile sample associated with the lower ink layer and a first display mode. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The system of claim 10, wherein the lower layer of the self-adaptive image is printed on the media in accordance with the transmission color profile. ### Claim 12 (depends on 9) The system of claim 9, wherein a reflective color profile is determined based on a measurement of colorimetry attributes of a profile sample associated with the upper ink layer and a second display mode. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The system of claim 12, wherein the upper layer of the self-adaptive image is printed on the media in accordance with the reflective color profile. ### Claim 14 A non-transitory computer readable medium having programmed instructions stored thereon, which when read cause a machine build a layered structure having a self-adaptive image by at least: printing a lower non-white ink layer on a substrate; printing a white ink layer over the first non-white ink layer; and printing an upper non-white ink layer over the white ink layer, wherein the lower non-white ink layer and the upper non-white ink layer include an image, and the white ink layer transmits a fraction of light from the lower non-white ink layer to the upper non-white ink layer in a backlit transmission mode such that both the lower non-white ink layer and the upper non-white ink layer contribute to the color of the image in the backlit transmission mode, and the white ink layer reflects most light incident to the upper non-white ink layer in a front lit reflection mode such that the upper non-white ink layer provides a majority of the color to the image in the front lit reflection mode and the lower non-white ink layer provides a minority of the color of the image in the front lit reflection mode. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 14, wherein the programmed instructions further cause the machine to: print a color profiling target on the substrate; measure colorimetry attributes of the layers in a first mode; and determine an upper color profile based on the colorimetry measurement; print the color profiling target only on the upper non-white ink layer; measure colorimetry attributes of the upper layer in a second display mode; and determine a lower color profile based on the colorimetry attributes of the upper layer. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15, wherein the programmed instructions further cause the machine to: print the lower ink layer of the self-adaptive image on the substrate in the lower color profile; and print the upper ink layer of the self-adaptive image on the substrate in the upper color profile.
