Gloss effect with improved hiding

1. A method for rendering a gloss effect, comprising:

determining among two colors, which one of the two colors is mixed with a black colorant that is furthest from a rich black colorant;

selecting a first color with the black colorant;

selecting a second color to be fully black and a least rich black colorant;

creating an object with the first color and entering data within the object opaquely with the second color; and

rendering a document with the object including the data with the object, wherein the object with the data exhibit a gloss effect based on the first color and the second color.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein the document when rendered with the object including the data comprises a watermark with the gloss effect that hides at one angle and appears at another angle on both coated media and uncoated media.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein the object comprises a text box and the data within the object comprises text.

4. The method of claim 3 wherein the text rendered includes textual content, graphical elements, or a combination thereof.

5. The method of claim 1 wherein rendering the document further comprises:

formatting the document in an electronic format independent of software, hardware or an operating system in which the document is viewable.

6. The method of claim 1 wherein rendering the document further comprises:

transmitting the document in an electronic document format to a printer for printing.

7. The method of claim 6 wherein the electronic document format comprises a page description language (PDL) document.

8. The method of claim 1 wherein rendering the document further comprises:

printing the document via a printing system.

9. A method for generating a print-ready document with optimized color contrast, comprising:

determining, by a computing device, which single color, when mixed with black, produces a resultant color that is the farthest from rich black;

selecting, by the computing device, the determined single color as a first color;

selecting, by the computing device, a second color comprising 100% black and 100% of the color that makes the second color the least rich when mixed with black;

creating, by the computing device, a text box within the document and filling the text box with the first color;

writing text, by the computing device, within the text box, rendering it in an opaque manner using the second color.

10. The method of claim 9 further comprising transmitting by the computing device, the document in an electronic document format to a printer for printing.

11. The method of claim 10 wherein the electronic document format comprises a page description language (PDL) document.

12. The method of claim 9 wherein the text rendered includes textual content, graphical elements, or a combination thereof.

13. A system for rendering a gloss effect image on a recording medium, comprising:

a processor; and

a computer-readable medium containing programming instructions that are configured to cause the processor to:

determine among two colors, which of the two colors is mixed with a black colorant that is furthest from a rich black colorant;

select a first color with the black colorant;

select a second color to be fully black and a least rich black colorant;

create an object with the first color and entering data within the object opaquely with the second color; and

render the object including the data with the object on a recording medium, wherein the object with the data exhibits a gloss effect based on the first color and the second color.

14. The system of claim 13 wherein the document when rendered comprises a watermark with the gloss effect that hides at one angle and appears at another angle on both coated media and uncoated media.

15. The system of claim 13 wherein the object comprises a text box and the data within the object comprises text.

16. The system of claim 15 wherein the text rendered includes textual content, graphical elements, or a combination thereof.

17. The system of claim 13 wherein rendering the document further comprises:

formatting the document in an electronic format independent of software, hardware or an operating system in which the document is viewable.

18. The system of claim 13 wherein rendering the document further comprises:

transmitting by the computing device, the document in an electronic document format to a printer for printing.

19. The system of claim 18 wherein the electronic document format comprises a page description language (PDL) document.

20. The system of claim 13 wherein rendering the document further comprises:

printing the document via a printing system.
