A method for the manipulation of the differential gloss in a halftone image comprising the steps of: selecting a first halftone having a first anisotropic structure orientation; selecting a second halftone having a second anisotropic structure orientation different from that of the first halftone; applying the first halftone to at least some portion of the halftone image; applying the second halftone to the remaining portion of the halftone image; and, applying a clear toner to some portion of a hardcopy output of the halftone image resulting from the above steps.
