Document Security with Secure Printing Technologies

Speciality Imaging: Fraud Deterrent Technology

Protecting sensitive documents from unauthorised 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 speciality imaging effects for static and variable jobs which add an extra level of security and authentication. These speciality 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 speciality imaging effects require fonts which are available as a free download.

A variety of speciality 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 colour, monochrome, and highlight colour 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 colour, monochrome, and highlight colour 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 colour 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 colour devices only. No font required, rather colour 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 colour devices only. No font required, rather colour calls within a variable job.
