AuthentiGuard® Suite
Much attention is focused on the security of data on computers and servers to protect it from unauthorized viewing and fraudulent use. But, what about after that data has been put on paper? With quality imaging, copy and scanning technologies easily accessible, you may be risking too much by not adding protection features.
Authentication of Print
Paper is secure when compared to data, as it is more difficult to duplicate and distribute to many quickly. Yet, it is far from protected. Counterfeiting and fraud involving paper-based documents has affected many industries, costing money in damages, theft, lost revenue, and brand erosion. Authentication through the printed page is a cost-effective, relatively simple step to take towards prevention.
NPC, Inc. offers the AuthentiGuard® Technology Suite. These technologies provide innovation that can’t be copied – protecting valued printed material from unauthorized scanning, copying and digital imaging while also providing fast and easy authentication of your originals.
The AuthentiGuard® Technology Suite
Pantograph 4000™
Pantograph 4000 provides the most powerful, patented pantograph technology ever created. Hidden words, company logos or designs appear when the document is photocopied or scanned, preventing unauthorized duplications – authentication has never been simpler.
Prism™
Prism embeds hidden words, images, or logos using 2-color or 4-color processes that are only visible with The Authenticator – a proprietary lens that reveals hidden messages. Customizable and cost-efficient, Prism technology cannot be reproduced with even the most sophisticated digital copiers or scanners.
Phantom™
Phantom uses “tilt-to-reveal” hidden images or words that can be easily viewed without special equipment. Viewed straight on, the hidden images are invisible to the naked eye, but when the package or document is viewed at various angles, the multi-color images are clearly revealed. For added security, Phantom cannot be reproduced with even the best copiers or scanners.
Laser Moiré™
Laser Moire renders counterfeit reproductions useless by creating gross distortions and unmistakable moiré interference patterns throughout the image. Verification of vital documents is fast and easy with The Authenticator – a proprietary lens that reveals the moiré patterns.
Block-Out™
Block-Out technology makes it impossible to reproduce protected documents on digital color copiers or scanners. The copiers recognize Block-Out’s custom graphics, which are integrated into the original document’s design, and print out solid color sheets or highly distorted images. Some copiers even stop cold, refusing to print any copies at all.
MicroPerf™
MicroPerf, an Optically Variable Technology (OVT), creates a verifier mark that is invisible to the eye and unnoticeable to the touch. A fine perforation is lasered into the document and can be viewed by simply holding the document up to normal light for fast and easy authentication.
VeriGlow™
VeriGlow is a two-tiered, customized document security system that utilizes unique photosensitive inks and incorporates embedded messages and images that are only viewable with a special light source and The Authenticator – a proprietary lens that together with the light source reveals the embedded messages.
Survivor 21™
Survivor 21 protects printed checks from duplication via digital copiers and scanners while providing a security feature that survives the background dropout that results from your bank’s archival scans.
On-Demand™
Delivered through customized software or a web-based application, On-Demand makes the verification feature of Prism and the anti-copy, anti-scan feature of Pantograph 4000 printable from desktop printers and digital presses. On-Demand delivers superior protection for your most critical documents at the click of a mouse.
Real Applications for Real Protection
Applications are numerous and can be found in virtually any industry. Documents often carry a monetary value or can be exchanged/shown for a privilege or to receive restricted product. They also can be used to demand payments and display confidential information. Whether you are in finance, education, manufacturing, government, publishing or healthcare, adding protection to your documents reduces your risks.
