  • The Security Printing Practices of Banknotes
    The Security Printing Practices of Banknotes A Senior Project presented to the Faculty of the Graphic Communication California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Graphic Communication; e.g. Bachelor of Science by Corbin Nakamura March, 2010 © 2010 Corbin Nakamura Table of Contents Abstract 3 I - Introduction and Purpose of Study 4 II - Literature Review 7 III - Research Methods 22 IV - Results 28 V - Conclusions 34 2 Abstract Counterfeit goods continue to undermine the value of genuine artifacts. This also applies to counterfeit banknotes, a significant counterfeit problem in today’s rapidly growing world of technology. The following research explores anti-counterfeit printing methods for banknotes from various countries and evaluates which are the most effective for eliminating counterfeit. The research methods used in this study consists primarily of elite and specialized interviewing accompanied with content analysis. Three professionals currently involved in the security- printing industry were interviewed and provided the most current information about banknote security printing. Conclusions were reached that the most effective security printing methods for banknotes rest upon the use of layering features, specifically both overt and covert features. This also includes the use of a watermark, optical variable inks, and the intaglio printing process. It was also found that despite the plethora of anti-counterfeit methods, the reality is that counterfeit will never be eliminated. Unfortunately, counterfeit banknotes will remain apart of our world. The battle against counterfeit banknotes will have to incorporate new tactics, such as improving public education, creating effective law enforcement, and relieving extreme poverty so that counterfeit does not have to take place.

  • Witte Safemark High Security Printing Universal Label Security Features
    Witte safemark High Security Printing Universal Label Security Features (1/2): Hologram: The shimmering effect becomes visible by changing the label viewing angle. VOID effect: When trying to remove the label again after application, the printed image is destroyed and the VOID logo exposed. UV luminescence, blue light If you place the label under an UV lamp with a 366 nm wavelength, the Witte logo appears over the entire surface. Thermochromic colour: Touch the label at the two printed areas with one finger (rub lightly). The fingerprint disappears, or it appears in blue Witte safemark font. This effect is reversible, meaning that as soon as normal room temperature is reached again the fingerprint appears and the Witte safemark logo disappears. RFID tag (open): Here you can see a recess of the label, which offers a clear view of the RFID inlay. On the back, you can see the entire structure of the antenna. With this technology, information can be passed on unseen. Visually variable colour (colour-shifting effect): If the viewing angle of the label is changed, a colour change will be detected. Microtext: On this label you see two sizes of the microtext – the exact readability is only possible with the help of a thread counter. The lettering is "High Security Printing". Guilloche print: These are very fine lines, which are not easy to counterfeit. Copies of conventional copiers distort the image of the guilloche pattern. Consecutive numbering: This is a numbering in plain text. We are able to generate numerical and alpha numerical codes instead. We can also take over the generation of this type of coding for you and make this addition available in a file.

The purpose of this glossary is not only to explain technical terms used in document descrip tions in PRADO (PUBLIC REGISTER OF AUTHENTIC TRAVEL AND IDENTITY DOCUMENTS ONLINE), but also to promote the use of consistent terminology and contribute to mutual understanding as a basis for effective communication and for police and administrative cooperation – in 24 official EU languages. It is also intended to help raise awareness among those having to check identities and ID documents - document experts will not be able to decide on the authenticity of a questioned document unless suspicions are raised by PRADO users who ask their local police, or the responsible national contact point, for further guidance. Contributing to better communication and cooperation is a means of combating illegal immigration and organised crime and strengthens security at the external borders and elsewhere.

    DIGITAL IMAGING SOLUTIONS FOR BRAND PROTECTION AND DOCUMENT SECURITY White Paper Solutions to combat counterfeit medicines worldwide February 2009 AlpVision SA Abstract Rue du Clos 12 1800 Vevey Protecting pharmaceutical products against counterfeiting or Switzerland fraudulent importation of donated or discounted medicines is now T: +4121 948 6464 possible using standard packaging and labelling without extra F: +4121 948 6465 production cost. [email protected] Introduction Protecting pharmaceutical products against counterfeiting or fraudulent importation of donated or discounted drugs will remain a permanent challenge in light of the increase in counterfeiting actions. The increase of the complexity of the supply chain in today’s global economy makes certification of every single supply source a nightmare. This is certainly a key factor in the rapid increase of counterfeiting attacks, including in countries where the supply chains are well established and trustworthy. © 2009 AlpVision SA - AlpVision and Cryptoglyph are registered trademarks of AlpVision SA, Fingerprint and Krypsos are trademarks of AlpVision SA DIGITAL IMAGING SOLUTIONS FOR BRAND PROTECTION AND DOCUMENT SECURITY How to differentiate authentic products from fakes or illegally imported ones? It is commonly admitted among specialists that packaging or labelling anti-counterfeiting features can be divided into two main categories: • The visible or overt features. • The features which are invisible to the naked eye or covert. Many pharmaceutical companies have added visible security features to their packaging. These include holograms, embossing, special ink and two dimensional bar codes. However, these visible features not only provide minimal security but they also require training for effective authentication. It is interesting to note that various companies offer hologram duplication services via Internet at very low prices.

  • Banknotes Currency of Noble Origin
    Banknotes currency of noble origin security you can trust Banknotes currency of noble origin Orell Füssli Security Printing your partner for banknote printing The development and manufacture of banknotes calls not only for special expertise, but also mutual confidence bet- ween customer and supplier. Only thus can the expecta- tions of discerning customers be fulfilled. At Orell Füssli Security Printing Ltd we have acquired in-depth know-how and experience with all the relevant technologies and me- thods over many decades. By sharing this experience with you, our customer, we aim to achieve our most important goal – to win and maintain your confidence in us as your Orlof technique in Simultan Offset partner for banknote printing. From design to delivery serving you every step of the way The design of a banknote is crucially important for its un- conditional acceptance by the public. Numerous elements have to be combined, such as the history and culture of the issuing country, the subjects depicted and their gra- phic arrangement on the banknote, the required security features and other components. The result is a work of art which represents both the cultural heritage and basic values of the country whose currency it is. Efficient production of a safe banknote requires state-of- the-art equipment in pre-press, printing, and finishing. To ensure excellent reproducibility of the original templates we have introduced Computer Aided Origination (CAO), a fully digitised workflow from computer to plate. We have equipment available to apply all security features commonly used on banknotes. Security during production and delivery of the banknotes is guaranteed by a sophisticated continuous production control system, the organizational set-up and the process design.

  • The Security Printing Opportunity
    “Add value to print!” Blog Post By Yuji Nagashima Technical Dept. IMPRIMA Graphics Division The Security Printing Opportunity According to Wikipedia, “Security printing is the field of the printing industry that deals with the printing of items such as banknotes, cheques, passports, tamper- evident labels, security tapes, product authentication, stock certificates, postage stamps and identity cards.” Because these items are high value, they offer a significant opportunity for printing operations who are looking for applications that can help them get out of the commodity zone to a place where they are producing higher margin, higher value products that have substantial benefits for their customers and that result in a more profitable printing operation. But security printing does require specific skills. First, of course, is the ability to print at a very high quality level. These documents contain security features that require perfect registration and the ability to produce very small elements such as microprint and other anti-counterfeiting techniques. Security documents also often use special inks and pigments. This includes inks that smudge or fluoresce if alterations are attempted using water or solvents; inks that fluoresce under UV or infrared light; and thermochromic inks that change color or disappear when subjected to heat. “Add value to print!” Many security documents are printed on costly substrates, such as plastics. When the cost of substrates is combined with the cost of special inks and pigments, excess waste during the production process can mean risking profitability on the job. So, in the security printing field, containing waste is also a very important capability.
