Security Features


The increasing sophistication of color copiers and relatively inexpensive laser printers and scanners has made forgeries or alterations of checks, gift certificates and other security documents more common. In a continuing effort to improve our anti-counterfeiting technologies, Vision Forms has expanded our list of available security features to include the latest advances in fraud deterrent techniques. By combining several of these features you will increase your chances of satisfying the law and deterring counterfeiting.

Vision Forms offers:

     · Void Pantographs
       Show a visible image, such as the word "Void", when copied by most color copiers, to discourage copier fraud.
       Wright's own tested Best pantos are recommended, but custom voids and other pantos such as FormsX are available.
     · Warning Bands
       State the location and the type of security features used. They are usually located in the top and/or bottom of the
       border. It is usually a reverse text band.
     · Padlock Icons
       Standard banking industry symbols to identify the presence of standard security features. Sometimes they appears by
       themselves, but usually there is a box on the back explaining in detail the security features used in the document.
     · Microline Printing with identifier MP
       Very fine type that will not copy accurately. It usually appears in the signature line or as part of the border. An MP logo is
       placed close to microprinting to draw attention to it.
     · Simulated Prismatic Printing
       Blending two or more colors of ink into a single image challenges copiers to simulate the original.
     · Custom Artificial Watermarks
       Customer logos, the words "original document", etc., are printed in a step-and-repeat fashion in a special opaque ink.
       These can be seen only when held at an angle or when rubbed with a coin.
     · Security Screen Endorsement Backers
       Very light screen with reversed image, it is difficult to hold the small dot when copying.
     · Bleed-Through Consecutive and MICR Numbering
       Magnetic or red arabic numbering that bleeds through the paper and can be seen from reverse side to insure original
       documents.
     · Guaranteed No Missing Numbers
       Consecutive numbering, guaranteeing you no missing documents.
     · Security Papers
       There are many to choose from with various passive and active features.
     · Thermochromatic Inks
       Temperature sensitive inks that become transparent when exposed to heat and reappear when allowed to cool.
     · Security Box
       A box on the back explaining the various security features used.

Correct selection of ink is critical to the success of the void pantograph. These pantographs work best when used in conjunction with mixed colors. The black content in any ink color should be between 6% and 11%, so pastels or true pigments should be avoided. Here is our updated list of recommended ink colors:

     · Reflex Blue
     · PMS 315 Blue
     · PMS 485 Red
     · PMS 208 Burgundy
     · PMS 349 Green
     · PMS 335 Green
