Invisible ink for Indigo presses

HP has announced the addition of invisible ink to its security solution package for the Indigo line of digital printing presses. The invisible ink can only be seen under an ultraviolet lamp where it fluoresces to a bright red color.

‘Forgery and counterfeiting are becoming increasingly important to business professionals,’ said Rafi Maor, HP vice president and general manager, Indigo Division. ‘By combining variable data printing technology with HP’s invisible ink, digital printing can help take security to a new level.’

The possibilities for secure printed materials are enhanced when invisible ink is combined with other security features such as Alphanumeric codes. Bar codes can be optimized to contain large amounts of data and can be printed with invisible ink to eliminate unwanted graphic elements while increasing overall security;
The security ink can be printed via HP Indigo 1000, s2000 and ws2000 presses which offer six-color digital printing.
