In a printed article, pigment flakes are magnetically aligned so as to form curved patterns in a plurality of cross-sections normal a continuous imaginary line, wherein radii of the curved patterns increase along the imaginary line from the first point to the second point. When light is incident upon the aligned pigment flakes from a light source, light reflected from the aligned pattern forms a bright image which appears to gradually change its shape and move from one side of the continuous imaginary line to another side of the continuous imaginary line when the substrate is tilted with respect to the light source.

The present invention relates to compositions, comprising silver nanoplatelets, wherein the silver nanoplatelets are capped by a compound of formula (XX), wherein R41 is a C4-C25alkyl group, which may be interrupted by one, or more oxygen atoms, and n is a number 1 to 10, especially 1 to 4, very especially 1, or 2, a process for its production, printing inks containing the compositions and their use in security products. The capping with the compound of formula (XX) renders the surface on the nanoparticles more hydrophobic, while maintaining colloidal stability of their dispersions in organic solvents and/or monomer compositions. This combination of properties allows for production of stable UV curable coating/printing compositions, suitable for manufacture of dichroic security elements for protection of value documents. The surface modification, described in the present invention is suitable for silver nanoplatelets of different sizes and, correspondingly, colors, and is especially useful for manufacture of solvent-free coating, or printing compositions.
