Abstract

See full text

A new method of creating fluorescent color images visible under UV light is proposed, which relies on fluorescent colorants obtained by superposing fluorescent ink dots, on juxtaposed halftoning, and on mapping the gamut of the image to be reproduced into the gamut of the fluorescent colorants. The resulting color images are invisible under daylight and have, under UV light, a high resemblance with the original images. Applications comprises the protection of security documents and valuable articles, as well as publicity, fashion and night life, where fluorescent images viewed in the dark under UV illumination have a strongly appealing effect.
