The present invention relates generally to documents such as printed
documents. One claim recites a printed document including a
machine-readable signal. The document includes: a first set of print
structures conveyed with first ink; and a second set of print structures
convey with optical variable ink. The second set of print structure are
provided to cooperate with the first set of print structures so that at a
first observation angle the first set of print structures and the second
set of print structures appear to provide a first visibly perceptible
feature. At a second observation angle, the second set of print
structures appear less observable so that the first set of print
structures and the second set of print structures provide a second
visibly perceptible feature. Of course, other claims and combinations are
provided as well.
