Bleed Through MICR Numbering
Special dyes in the MICR ribbon bleed through the paper making
the number visible on the back side of the form; to alter a
number, it would have to be completely removed.
Artificial Watermark
Printed in transparent ink or varnish; photocopy and scanner
resistant; printed features are visible from one side only when
held at a 45 degree angle.
Warning Band
All security features should be used in conjunction with proper
warning messages. Warning messages alert check handlers, processors
and potential forgers that specific security features are present.
Void Pantograph
Screen tint backgrounds in which the word "void" is
hidden. When photocopied, the word "void" appears.
This
technology works best when using PMS ink colors that have 11%
to 27% black in the ink mix. Effectiveness will vary based
on
the capabilities of the copier and are not guaranteed on all
copiers.
Microprinting
Text printed so small that it appears as a screened line; fills
or plugs if scanned or photocopied; must be verified with a
low powered magnifying glass. Commonly used as a signature line.
(see example above.)
Thermochromic Inks
Ink that when subjected to heat will change colors or go to
colorless. Photocopier and scanner resistant. Allows those
receiving the item to check authenticity of the document.
DocuCheck Watermark Security Paper
A True Watermark
DocuCheck's fourdrinier watermark is pressed into the paper
while it is still wet, producing a clear, highly defined
image
that resists photocopying and scanning. In regular light,
the watermark is visible from both sides of the sheet.
Chemical Reactants
This process resists duplication and alteration by having
invisible chemical reactants in the paper. The reactants produce
permanent stains when bleach or solvents are used to alter
the document.
Invisible (Fluorescent) Fibers
For authenticity, these fibers are visible only under ultraviolet
light and are extremely difficult to duplicate.
Visible Fibers
The visible fibers are randomly arranged and visible on both
sides of the paper. Detectable in ordinary light, visible
fibers provide easy identification when the document is examined
without special equipment.
Bond and Carbonless
DocuCheck is available in both 26# Carbonless and 24# Bond.
The Carbonless check has an endorsable CB coating that
prevents pens from skipping when endorsing checks. The
24# Bond sheet
paper is laser compatible.
Paper Distribution Protection
Tight Security in all stages or production from manufacturing
to warehousing to distribution ensures DocuCheck Watermark
is only available to legitimate customers.
