Plan Ahead
Printers must be proactive and consider what steps are required to protect their customers’ brands from external threats—even if their customers don’t.
Covert techniques: More than meets the eye
Techniques that are not easily detected by the untrained eye have an extra layer of safety built in simply because counterfeiters may not even know the security measures exist. Usually some kind of decoder is needed to make a covert feature visible. Consider hidden images—by making minimal changes to the screening (typically in the cyan or magenta separation), an image invisible to the naked eye is inserted into the print. The hidden image is typically very hard to reproduce for a counterfeiter. A simple copy will generally lose the hidden image information.
