A support for various functions

Falsification of authentic documents is a serious problem for businesses and organizations. The stakes are considerable. Secure paper is an effective tool for protecting sensitive documents. Its high level of security allows you to guarantee the compliance of documents that may be counterfeit such as your contracts, certificates, diplomas or licenses. A contract can be quickly certified as being original at low cost. It is a universal paper, that is to say it is neutral and can be used for all structures wishing to protect themselves from bad intentions.

3 control levels for 15 security points.

This paper combines different control level:
• visible to the naked eye
• visible only in UV light, UV ink springs bright yellow or blue
• only visible with magnifying glass and/or microscope

Thanks to these three levels of verification, paper replication is extremely laborious if not impossible. Some checking levels are not visible to the naked eye and require a high level of technology. Therefore, imitation of the identical document is impractical.

The paper used here is a paper called “without optical brightening”, which is similar to the paper used to make cheques and bank notes. Its particularity is that it is inert to UV and therefore brings out the present UV ink.
In order to obtain these different levels of security, the paper has different layers, which makes it possible to have as many safety points.

Another relevant point is that the paper is also treated with a special coating that improves the adhesion of laser toner. When a laser printer places the toner on paper, it is possible to use a scalpel or tape to remove the toner from the paper and make a fraudulent alteration. The coating improves the way the toner adheres to the paper with an improvement of at least 50%. So it also protects against fraud.

Security point	Description	Visual
1. Microtext et guilloches in nanotext	Texts imperceptible to the naked eye but revealed under UV light can be perceived only with a magnifying glass + UV light.
2. Nanotexte in vertical line	Text readable only with magnifying glass / microscope. Cannot be scanned or photocopied because it is too small.
3. UV safety tape	Line perceptible only to the naked eye under UV light.
4. Background with guilloches	Lines visible to the naked eye becoming blurred at photocopying and disappearing in case of an attempt to erase the text, in reactive inks.
5. Watermark "Iris" in two tones	Iris-shaped figures in two different tones, showing only when a light source is placed behind the leaf. Included in the paper.
6. Numismatic 3D sculptured text "DOCUMENT SECURE ORIGINAL"	Intricate lines that are woven to create an image or a word in a sculptured format.
7. Fantom word	Word visible only when photocopying or scanning the document preventing replication.
8. Paper and reactive inks	The paper has a special coating that increases the adhesion of the toner by at least 50% to protect against potential fraud.
9. Guilloches et emblem in UV ink	Safety point only visible to the naked eye under UV light.
10.Sequential number UV ink	The same sequential number appears only in UV light and is identical to that of penetrating black ink.
11. Encrypted sequential number with penetrating, migrating black ink	This sequential number is visible to the naked eye. It cannot be erased because the black ink has penetrated the paper. In addition, the ink migrates to the back of the paper and turns red. The last 2 digits are a unique encryption key to lock each number.
12. Blue microtext	Micro text at the bottom of the page, visible with magnifying glass and chromotropic ink. Too small to be photocopied or scanned.
13.Thermoreactive ink	Blue ink visible to the naked eye, disappears at +27° to reappear later.
14. Safety hologram built into paper	Holograms are an authentication tool by themselves. They are very difficult to replicate and cannot be photocopied or scanned.
15. Chromotropic ink	Ink visible to the naked eye and perceived blue. Under UV light, perceived red.
