Visible to the naked eye
Invisible to the naked eye requiring a simple control device (UV lamp, thread counter)
Invisible to the naked eye requiring complex control equipment (laboratory test)
An invisible fluorescent ink reacting to ultraviolet light is printed on the front and back of the document. Exact marking between the visuals enables a hidden pattern to be revealed with the help of a special UV strobe light.
A printing technique that transfers ink to paper by engraving a plate. This creates a relief and a tactile perception of the printed elements.
Offset raster with a minimum of three colours, which combined with relief printing, gives a shaded effect to the visual with a change of colours.
Thin parallel lines, impossible to distinguish with the eye, whose orientation, thickness and spacing vary to give an impression of relief.
Visible or invisible ink that changes colour when exposed to ultraviolet light with a slight frictional action. The change is temporary and a return to the original colour occurs after a short time.
Ink made from specific pigments that allow a change in colour when the document is angled at 45 degrees.
Background made up of graphic micro- elements (texts, drawings, geometric shapes) distributed in a random way allowing to reproduce the nuances of an image or a photograph.
Thin line of text that cannot be distinguished with the eye.
Visible or invisible fluorescent synthetic particles incorporated in the paper that change color or appear under ultraviolet light.
Visible or invisible ink that reacts to ultraviolet light.
Background made from geometrical shapes embedded in each other whose orientation variations disturb scanners and photocopiers.
Ink reactive to temperature. The printed element disappears or changes color depending on the temperature and then returns to its original appearance at ambient temperature.
UV varnish reinforced with a specific additive providing hydrophobic and oleophobic properties.
