Additional Security Features Available

Security Inks
Heat Sensitive Thermochromic Ink	Thermochromic inks are sensitive to temperature changes and will disappear when heat from your breath of finger is applied and will reappear once cooled.
Invisible UV Fluorescent Ink	The ink may only be seen under a UV lamp and is not visible under normal light.
Fugitive & Solvent Sensitive Ink	Solvent reactive inks provide visible protection against acids, bases, bleaches and solvents. The ink smudges when touched by one of these substances.
Verko Raised Inks	Ink that is raised up from the paper. Very hard to replicate without the correct resources and equipment.
Paper Stocks
Datafuse, Frangible Paper, SecureX, Parchments	A range of paper and card stocks can be used that offer a number of added security features that greatly reduce the chances of fraudulent copies being made.
Design Features
Anticopy 'Copyvoid' Pattern	When unauthorized persons try to copy or scan the original, a "COPY" hidden message appears.
Printed Artificial Watermark	A printed watermark that cannot be duplicated by scanners or copiers. This is usually printed in white or clear inks.
Guilloche Design	Very complex patterns of never ending lines. Designed on the same software that produces bank notes and foreign currency.
Warning Bands	States to the person viewing the document that the document is protected, thus curbing possible forgery attempts before they start.
Micro Printing	A minute font which can only be viewed through a magnify glass. If the document is copied, the text will blur rendering the message unreadable.
Vignettes	Creates a fading effect of dark to light. Used with subtle colours and extremely difficult to scan.
Other Features
Holograms & Foiling	Nearly impossible to replicate without heavy printing equipment. Holograms and foiled images add a high degree of professionalism to any secure document.
Consecutive Numbering	Gives a clear audit trail, allowing duplicates to be more easily detected.
Laminating	Adds an additional layer on top of the printed stock that is hard to replicate without sophisticated machinery.
