Method of printing multi-layered media

Abstract

A multi-layered seriograph includes a first layer applied to a backing material as a viscous liquid. The first layer is either an ink, an oil-based, non-latex paint or a latex, non-oil-based paint. A sealing medium is applied over the first layer to form a barrier to bleed through from and to subsequent layers. An outer layer is applied over the sealing medium by seriograph methods. The outer layer includes a transparent luminescent pigment that is not luminescent under only ambient and incandescent light. The layer having a pigment produces a luminescent effect when subject to ultraviolet light, wherein the seriograph exhibits one visible object when subjected to ambient, incandescent and fluorescent light and at least one different visible object when subjected to ultraviolet light. A method for creating the seriograph is also disclosed.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A multi-layered seriograph consisting essentially 
 a first layer of paint or ink applied to a canvas;    a sealing medium disposed on said first paint layer to form a barrier to bleed-through from and to subsequent paint layers; and    an outer seriograph ink layer disposed on said sealing medium, said outer ink layer having a transparent luminescent pigment.    
     
     
         2 . The multi-layered seriograph in accordance with    claim 1    wherein said first paint layer is oil-based, non-latex paint.  
     
     
         3 . The multi-layered seriograph in accordance with    claim 1    wherein said first paint layer is latex, non-oil-based paint.  
     
     
         4 . The multi-layered seriograph in accordance with    claim 1    wherein said first paint layer is ink.  
     
     
         5 . The multi-layered seriograph in accordance with    claim 1    wherein said outer ink layer includes a transparent luminescent pigment that is not luminescent under only ambient and incandescent light, formulated with said paint, for producing a luminescent effect when subject to ultraviolet light, wherein the painting exhibits one visible object when subjected to ambient and incandescent light and wherein the painting exhibits at least one different visible object when subjected to ultraviolet light.  
     
     
         6 . The multi-layered painting in accordance with    claim 5    wherein said first layers include pigments visible only under incandescent or ambient light conditions.  
     
     
         7 . The multi-layered seriograph in accordance with    claim 1    wherein said sealing medium is varnish.  
     
     
         8 . The multi-layered seriograph in accordance with    claim 1    wherein said sealing medium is lacquer.  
     
     
         9 . The multi-layered seriograph in accordance with    claim 1    including a plurality of said layers, each said layer having a sealing medium disposed between adjacent paint layers.  
     
     
         10 . A method of creating a multi-layered seriograph comprising the steps of: 
 providing a backing material;    applying a first layer to said backing material, said first layer being applied as a viscous liquid, said first paint layer consisting essentially of one of an ink, an oil based, non-latex paint and a latex, non-oil-based paint;    drying said first layer;    applying sealing medium on said dried first layer;    drying said sealing medium to form a barrier to bleed-through from and to subsequent layer;    applying an outer ink layer on said sealing medium by the seriograph method; and    drying said second ink layer.    
     
     
         12 . The method of creating a multi-layered seriograph accordance with    claim 11    wherein said first layer is said oil-based, non-latex paint.  
     
     
         13 . The method of creating a multi-layered seriograph accordance with    claim 11    wherein said first layer is said latex, non-oil-based paint.  
     
     
         14 . The method of creating a multi-layered seriograph accordance with    claim 11    wherein said first layer is ink.  
     
     
         15 . The method of creating a multi-layered seriograph in accordance with    claim 11    wherein one of said other ink layer includes a transparent luminescent pigment that is not luminescent under only ambient and incandescent light, formulated with said ink, for producing a luminescent effect when subject to ultraviolet light, wherein the seriograph exhibits one visible object when subjected to ambient and incandescent light and wherein the seriograph exhibits at least one different visible object when subjected to ultraviolet light.  
     
     
         16 . The method of creating a multi-layered seriograph in accordance with    claim 11    including the step of applying a plurality of said first layers.  
     
     
         17 . The method of creating a multi-layered painting in accordance with    claim 16    including the step of applying a sealing medium between each adjacent paint layer.
