An article, comprising:
- a substrate;
- and
- an image printed on the substrate;
- wherein the image includes two or more types of pixels;
- wherein the two or more types of pixels are chosen from an RGB pixel, an RGBW pixel, and a hybrid pixel;
- wherein at least one type of pixel, of the two or more types of pixels, includes an optically variable pigment;
- wherein the hybrid pixel and the RGBW pixel both include a broadband reflective pigment, and the hybrid pixel includes from 1 to 3 pigments, wherein each pigment, of the 1 to 3 pigments, is chosen from red, green, and blue;
- and
- wherein the hybrid pixel uses a smaller pigmented area for the broadband reflective pigment than the RGBW pixel to create a pixel color for a pixel in the image.
