Abstract
A method includes applying at least one medium to a substrate with a printing device to form a symbol. The perceived reflectance properties of the symbol are provided by an amount of the at least one medium applied to the substrate.
Claims31
A device-implemented method comprising:
- applying at least one medium to a substrate with a device to form a symbol, the device configured as a printing device and perceived reflectance properties of the symbol provided by an amount of the at least one medium applied to the substrate, the perceived reflectance properties being represented by a function that accounts for a lighting direction and a viewing direction of the symbol.
A system comprising:
- a printing device configured to apply at least one medium to a substrate to form a symbol, perceived reflectance properties of the symbol are provided by an amount of the at least one medium applied to the substrate, the perceived reflectance properties being represented by a function that accounts for a lighting direction and a viewing direction of the symbol.
One or more computer-readable storage devices comprising processor-executable instructions that, responsive to execution by a processor, cause a printing device to:
- apply, via a print operation of the printing device, at least one medium to a substrate to form a symbol, perceived reflectance properties of the symbol provided by an amount of the at least one medium applied to the substrate, the perceived reflectance properties being represented by a function that accounts for a lighting direction and a viewing direction of the symbol.
A device-implemented method comprising:
- receiving, at a printing device, data describing a symbol;
- and
- applying, via a print operation of the printing device, at least one medium to a substrate to form the symbol, perceived reflectance properties of the symbol are provided by an amount of the at least one medium applied to the substrate, the perceived reflectance properties being represented by a function that accounts for a lighting direction and a viewing direction of the symbol.
