Abstract: A method for modifying vesicular images into non-scattering images is provided, which comprises opening the closed bubbles of the vesicular image to form an open-bore image by allowing at least one organic solvent which attacks the thermoplastic bubble walls of the vesicular image to act on the latter, optionally making the image wettable with a surfactant introducing the image substance into the open pores by treatment with a solution or dispersion of the image substance and, optionally removing any remaining gas bubbles or pores by heat or solvent treatment.

Abstract: A multicolor printing method for reproducing varicolored images on substrates having a white surface by printing with inks of three primary colors, i.e. a color absorb blue (cab) which is a yellow, a color absorb green (cag) which is a red-violet and a color absorb red (car) which is a blue-green, producing printed colors having spectral density curves passing through matching ranges of optical densities at characteristic wavelengths in the visible spectrum, the ranges being within the following parameters: Range of Optical density in % of D.sub.max Wavelengths cab cag car ______________________________________ 407 to 423 nm 65 to 93 2 to 27 39 to 79 453 to 456 nm 89 to 101 10 to 25 12 to 25 492 to 496 nm 60 to 74 65 to 81 1 to 10 538 to 541 nm 4 to 14 88 to 103 13 to 25 584 to 591 nm 1 to 3 50 to 75 65 to 88 633 to 646 nm 1 to 3 1 to 4 84 to 109 ______________________________________D.sub.
