An improved printed article and a method of making same. The article including
a substrate having a top surface and a bottom surface, with a reflective layer
printed on the top surface of the substrate, a graphic design layer printed on
the reflective layer, a textured pattern of transparent ink printed over the graphic
design and reflective layer, and a glossy layer of transparent ink printed over
the textured pattern and reflective layer. The glossy layer is printed over the
entire surface of the substrate. The graphic image is printed through a four-color
printing process over portions of the reflective layer. The textured pattern includes
a plurality of light bending convex lines of transparent ink printed on and around
the graphic image and reflective layers. The lines produce a reflective glossy
textured surface on the printed article creating the illusion of depth and three-dimensionality.
