The present disclosure relates to a decoration element comprising a light reflective layer; and a color developing layer comprising a light absorbing layer provided on the light reflective layer, wherein the light absorbing layer comprises two or more points with different thicknesses.

In a printed article, pigment flakes are magnetically aligned so as to form curved patterns in a plurality of cross-sections normal a continuous imaginary line, wherein radii of the curved patterns increase along the imaginary line from the first point to the second point. When light is incident upon the aligned pigment flakes from a light source, light reflected from the aligned pattern forms a bright image which appears to gradually change its shape and move from one side of the continuous imaginary line to another side of the continuous imaginary line when the substrate is tilted with respect to the light source.

A media having a white opaque microporous coating, coated onto a releasable carrier, thereafter, being transposed and heat laminated to a clear material surface (30) as a non-transferable white opaque absorbing layer (20) over hidden visual elements (34), which when liquid (24) is applied, are gradually revealed until they are clearly visible.

Aspects are directed to a textile substrate with two or more ink layers and methods for printing a textile substrate. The two or more ink layers may include one or more visual components that form graphics or images that are visible to an observer when viewing the textile substrate from different angles.

A security document with unidirectional visual illumination is disclosed. A security feature is positioned within the document and not visible in normal ambient lighting conditions but becomes visible under specialized lighting conditions, for example in the presence of ultraviolet light. The security feature is constructible such that it is visible only from a single side of the security document, with the side being predeterminable regardless of the orientation of the specialized light.
