Multiple replicas of this interactive graphic work are mass-produced by embossing an array of the holographic imagery into a substrate in roll form, together with eyemarks located periodically along the roll. Using these eyemarks, the roll is optically sheeted and the non-holographic imagery then printed on the holographic substrate. ## Claims ### Claim 1 The process of mass-producing a plurality of interactive graphic works all of said works comprising a substrate bearing substantially the same holographic imagery, end substantially the same non-holographic imagery superposed by printing-on substantially the same portions of the holographic imagery and positioned in substantially the same predetermined spatial relationship to said holographic imagery in all of said works, at least some portions of said printed imagery being positioned so as to interact graphically with portions of the holographic Imagery to form an integral part of a composite holographic and non-holographic image, the process comprising the steps of: forming a roll of a large number of replicas of said substrate bearing the holographic imagery; subsequently optically sheeting said formed roll of replicas into separate sheets such that each sheet is in substantially the same spatial relationship to the replicas of holographic imagery borne by that sheet as every other sheet; and subsequently printing on each said optically sheeted sheet the non-holographic imagery for each said replica in predetermined spatial relationship to said holographic imagery. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The process of claim 1 wherein said optical sheeting includes providing said roll with eyemarks located at predetermined intervals along the roll, and cutting said roll into said sheets under the control of said eyemarks. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The process of claim 2 wherein said eyemarks are located along the roll with a periodicity which substantially equals the periodicity of recurrence of a predetermined number of said replicas along the roll. ### Claim 4 (depends on 2) The process of claim 2 further comprising initially producing a master hologram of said holographic imagery, deriving a plurality of shims from said hologram, mounting an array of said shims, together with at least one eyemark on an embossing cylinder, and using said cylinder to emboss a plurality of said holograms into a substrate in roll form. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The process of claim 4 further comprising aligning non-holographic imagery portions of the graphic works with the holographic portions on a given sheet, producing a printing plate from said aligned non-holographic portions, and utilizing said plate to print said non-holographic portions on said holographic portions on a plurality of said sheets in succession. ### Claim 6 The process of mass-producing a plurality of graphic works all of said works comprising a substrate bearing substantially the same holographic imagery, and substantially the same non-holographic imagery superposed by printing-on substantially the same portions of the holographic imagery and positioned in substantially the same predetermined spatial relationship to said holographic imagery in all of said works, the process comprising the steps of: forming a roll of a large number of replicas of said substrate bearing the holographic imagery; subsequently optically sheeting said formed roll of replicas into separate sheets such that each sheet is in substantially the same spatial relationship to the replicas of holographic imagery borne by that sheet as every other sheet; and subsequently printing on each said optically sheeted sheet the non-holographic imagery for each said replica in predetermined spatial relationship to said holographic imagery.
