OVERVIEW

TROY Group, Inc. has developed a new digital printing technology for security

printing (patents awarded worldwide, contact TROY for further information). This

new technology is the TROY Laser Indelible Solution. The TROY Laser

Indelible Solution consists of TROY Security Toner and laser bond paper coated

with the TROY Laser Indelible Coating. This toner and paper system works

together to create an indelible image on documents that are printed on laser

printers.

HOW IT WORKS

Laser Indelible paper has a special coating in area(s) of each sheet where the

desired security feature is located. During the coating drying process a

“migration agent” in the coating is absorbed into the paper fibers. This migration

agent is designed to interact with TROY Security Toner (Figures 1 & 2). The

TROY Security Toner is a specialty toner formulation containing a special dye

(Figure 3). When printed, the dye in the toner is released by the migration agent

and drawn through the paper (Figure 4). The resulting image is a black toner

character or graphic on the front of a document and the same character or

graphic in red dye, permeating the thickness of the paper. The red image is also

visible as a mirror image of the backside of the document.

October, 2011 Copyright 2011 TROY Group Inc. USING TROY LASER INDELIBLE TO REDUCE FRAUD One of the advantages of the TROY Laser Indelible Solution is that sensitive regions of a document can be targeted for the Laser Indelible security. This is achieved by coating certain areas of a form, while leaving other areas uncoated. Any printing on the regions that are coated will form a red indelible image underneath. Any printing on uncoated areas will have a normal black toner appearance.

The reverse side of the check reveals that the TROY Laser Indelible Solution (TROY Security Toner and TROY Laser Indelible coated paper) has been used to print this check. The visible nature of the indelible image acts as a deterrent to alteration and thereby reduces the risk of being targeted by fraud.

Figure 7 Figure 6.0 - Toner Removal INDELIBLE IMAGE FORMATION As previously noted, the red indelible image provides a visual fraud deterrent as well as an easy way to help determine document authenticity. One of the considerations when using the TROY Laser Indelible Solution is the rate at which the indelible image is formed.

October, 2011 Copyright 2011 TROY Group Inc. A range of document papers and forms paper can be treated with the TROY Laser Indelible Coating and Coating Enhancer. However, paper selection is critical in achieving a uniform indelible image. It is also critical in the rate of indelible image bleed-through. Therefore, only paper provided by TROY or TROY licensed security printing partners is suitable for Laser Indelible printing. Figure 8 Figure 7.
