Security signs:

Secutity offset printing: Mulicolour offset printing with anti-copy patterns and secutity colours. Print with drily - offset for maximum resolution. Print machines of this design distinguish themselves by the highest precision. A continuous print format with for the production of security documents is thereby possible for usual fine lines.

Guilloche: The Guilloche is a special pattern, an ornament form several overlapping lines complicated into each other. Besides, the single lines form string-like, often asymetrical, closed ellipses or also circular paths.

Microwriting: The very small stroke (approx. 0.2 mms high) which is hardly recognizable with the bare eye is integrated in the cared design.

Rainbow/iris print: The iris print is a special effect printing method which can be achieved in the offset printing. In short steady distances different colours are applied alternately. Thus several colours with concurred colour edges are printed in a printing process.

UV element: The used colour becomes visible if the card is lighted up with a special UV light. Different UV colours with different wavelengths are available.

OVI Element: OVI (Optically variable Ink) An element OVI is a symbol in the e.g. silk screen which shows two different colour effects if you look on it from different corners. The OVI element can be recognised with the bare eye, but cannot be photo-copied.
