Ultra Secure Paper from Security Print Solutions
Security Print Solutions (SPS) based in Durham is in the process of gaining international fame for its ultra-secure paper called Corporate Secure Paper, which could eventually put an end to fraudsters creating false documents.
The company uses a combination of watermarks, holograms, microscopic writing and invisible ink to uniquely secure the paper printed for each of its client.
Few high profile companies are availing their services for guarantee documents. SPS also works with Apacs, a payment association in tackling cheque fraud.
The secure paper is manufactured with a unique watermark for each client. Holograms are also inserted to offer even greater security, the client company’s name or logo is printed over the top. To counter document alteration, a complex security background in microscopic writing in invisible inks is also inserted. The writing cannot be viewed by the naked eye and can only be viewed through an eye glass under ultra-violet light.
SPS director Graham McGuire said: “Organisations have been using different systems for securing papers, such as void appearing across a document when you photocopy it, and we have taken that on a stage further.
“The number of security features is dependent on what the customer would like. It depends how much security they want to attach to a document.”
