Printed matter producing reflective intaglio effect

A printed document or other device comprising a substrate to which printed matter is applied, said substrate having a first side and a second side, a reflective or brightly coloured print layer which is printed onto one side of the substrate without embossment wherein the reflective or brightly coloured print layer is a reflective or brightly colored ink layer, and a raised print image printed to said reflective or brightly coloured print layer by a printing process, at least part of said raised print image having a height of at least 5 μm and being visible from all angles of the document, said raised print image being enhanced by said reflective or brightly coloured print layer when viewed at different angles and under different lighting conditions.

A printed document or other device comprising a substrate to which printed matter is applied, the substrate having a first side and a second side, a reflective or brightly coloured layer which is printed onto one side of the substrate without embossment, and a raised printed image having regions of substantially parallel lines applied to the reflective or brightly coloured layer by a printing process, at least part of the raised printed image having a height of at least 5 μm and being visible from all angles of the document, the raised printed image being enhanced by the reflective or brightly coloured layer when viewed at different angles and under different lighting conditions.

A printed document or other device comprising a plastic substrate to which printed matter is applied, the substrate having a first side and a second side, a reflective or brightly coloured print layer which is printed onto one side of the substrate without embossment wherein the reflective or brightly coloured print layer is a reflective or brightly colored ink layer, and a raised print image applied to the reflective or brightly coloured print layer by a printing process, at least part of the raised print image having a height of at least 5 μm and being visible from all angles of the document, the raised print image being enhanced by the reflective or brightly coloured print layer when viewed at different angles and under different lighting conditions.

A printed document or other device comprising a substrate to which printed matter is applied, said substrate having a first side and a second side, a reflective or brightly coloured print layer which is printed onto one side of the substrate without embossment, said reflective or brightly coloured print layer being printed over an opaque ink layer applied to one side of said substrate, and a raised print image printed to said reflective or brightly coloured layer by a printing process, at least part of said raised print image having a height of at least 5 μm and being visible from all angles of the document, said raised print image being enhanced by said reflective or brightly coloured print layer when viewed at different angles and under different lighting conditions.
