The two or more ink layers may include one or more visual components that form graphics or images that are visible to an observer when viewing the textile substrate from different angles.
Claims15
A method of printing a textile substrate, the method comprising:
- providing a textile substrate having a textile substrate surface and at least a first area;
- applying a first printed layer over the first area of the textile substrate, the first printed layer comprising a first visual component that forms a first image;
- applying a plurality of discrete members as a second printed layer over a top surface of the first printed layer distal to the textile substrate surface, the second printed layer comprising one or more layers of ink, and wherein each of the plurality of discrete members comprises a second visual component;
- and
- applying a third printed layer over a surface of the second printed layer distal to the first printed layer, the third printed layer comprising a third visual component, wherein only the first visual component and the third visual component are visible when the textile substrate is viewed from a first angle, and
- wherein the application of the third printed layer causes a visibility of the second visual component to change when the textile substrate is viewed from an angle that is different than the first angle.
