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.

Design Features

• Anticopy 'Copyvoid' Pattern. When unauthorised persons try to copy or scan the original document, a "COPY" hidden message appears on the copied or scanned file. The clarity of the "COPY" on the copied or scanned document will vary depending upon the copier/scanner used. Please note that the anticopy pattern is only a visual deterrent and no manufacturer can guarantee it will work on every copier/scanner. Variations can occur from manufacturer's print run to print run.
• 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

• Foiling. Nearly impossible to replicate without heavy printing equipment. It adds 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.
