摘要：Embodiments of the invention take advantage of the change in gloss caused by overprinting a printed image with clear ink. Embodiments of the invention thus implement gloss control functionality in a printer without the requirements of a pin and cure or other known systems.

主权项：1. A method for gloss control, comprising: receiving a selection of a percentage of clear ink to apply to a printed image and/or print medium relative a gloss response curve to determine a value of gloss control; and in accordance with said selection, depositing small (0-25%) amounts of clear ink to said image and/or print medium to lower said image and/or print medium gloss level, wherein the image and/or print medium is more matte.
