Document Security with Secure Printing Technologies

Specialty Imaging: Fraud Deterrent Technology

Protecting sensitive documents from unauthorized duplication is a growing concern. Counterfeit copies of documents like coupons, tickets, and invoices can have serious financial impacts. Combat this concern with exclusive fraud-resistant specialty imaging effects for static and variable jobs which add an extra level of security and authentication. These specialty imaging text effects can only be printed with a FreeFlow digital front end in combination with FreeFlow software – any other print server will print them as normal text. Three of the specialty imaging effects require fonts which are available as a free download.

A variety of specialty imaging text effects are available:

  • MicroText marks: Text printed at smaller than 1 point size, readable only with a loupe or magnifying glass. Provides additional security to invoices, coupons, and other fraud-sensitive applications. Compatible with color, monochrome, and highlight color devices.
  • Correlation marks: Printed text that is only visible when superimposed by a "key" overlay. Provides an extra level of authentication for lottery tickets, invitations, and other documents requiring an authenticity check. Compatible with color, monochrome, and highlight color devices.
  • GlossMark® text: Printed text that is not visible in straight-on view, but becomes visible under inclined illumination. Provides an extra layer of protection against document fraud in amusement park tickets, coupons, and general admission passes. Compatible with color devices only.
  • FluorescentMark: Printed text that is only visible under UV/black-light. Protects sensitive documents like concert tickets, admission passes, and retail promotions. Compatible with color devices only. No font required, rather color calls within a static or variable job.
  • InfraRed text: Printed text that is only visible in the dark, with an infrared camera. Protects sensitive documents like admission passes and promotions. Compatible with color devices only. No font required, rather color calls within a variable job.
