New Report Ventures into Printing Beyond Colour for Security Features

Many technologies and features with their roots in commercial printing have made, and continue to make, a substantial contribution to secure document production. However, these technologies have for the most part been concerned with producing visual colours, perceived by the unaided eye as conventional colour printing.

A new technology report – ‘Printing Beyond Colour: Commercial Innovation for Security Print’ – examines the latest generation inks and digital printing techniques that venture beyond visual colour into a domain filled with the potential to generate a whole new set of features for secure documents.

Some good examples already entering the commercial digital printing arena are white, metallic and clear inks. While these have been available for conventional impact presses for several years, the entry into digital printing and ink formulations opens up potential opportunities for new and interesting security features.
