Ink-Specific Handheld Readers and SVDP NIP 22, 20 Sept 2006 Overt + Anti-Tamper: Substrate/ink Layering through Sandwich Printing (Below left). The use of sandwich printing on the HP Indigo Press for creating a peel-off label. A CMYK print can be seen through the transparent substrate (light layer, top), while three spot color layers (the minimum number of layers to create an opaque barrier) are used to hide the underlying message (in black spot color) until the substrate is peeled off.
13
Ink-Specific Handheld Readers and SVDP NIP 22, 20 Sept 2006 Covert Example: Infrared Opaque / Transparent Inks Use process (IR-opaque) inks in combination with IR-transparent inks (such as Anoto black) to provide a visibly identical, but IR-varying feature Symbolic absorbance characteristics of a infrared- opaque black ink (e.g. process black or HP C6119A) and an infrared-transparent black ink (e.g. Anoto black or HP 1918). Symbolic reflectance characteristics of an ink containing green and infrared reflecting (or fluorescing) pigments.
14
Ink-Specific Handheld Readers and SVDP NIP 22, 20 Sept 2006 Multi-Functional (Combining Overt & Covert) Deterrent Example Use process (IR-opaque) inks in combination with IR-transparent inks (such as Anoto black) to provide a visibly identical, but IR-varying feature Symbolic absorbance characteristics of a infrared- opaque black ink (e.g. process black) and an infrared- transparent black ink (e.g. Anoto black). Visible appearance IR scans of the deterrents Static IR substrate Black Ink Masks: Process Black as Black, Anoto Black as White Here + Either or both layers can contain nanoparticular reagents

Ink-Specific Handheld Readers and SVDP NIP 22, 20 Sept 2006 UV/IR inks UV Illuminant UV/IR inks can be printed with the same feature density as visible inks--readers for UV and IR are continually improving, too. Spectral response and pigment/ink reagents can be used for forensic authentication Courtesy Inc.Jet UV barcode scanner

Ink-Specific Handheld Readers and SVDP NIP 22, 20 Sept 2006 Considerations and Approaches LEDs (from 365 nm-800 nm) are readily available Filters are readily available in the same range Barcode readers are standardized and provide an excellent comparative metric for any ink/ISHR combination LEDs are not FDA regulated, and ready to ship at 365 nm The optics are modular to allow a single reader to support multiple inks The LEDs are matched with the ink peak absorption wavelength The filters are matched to the ink emission bandgap

Ink-Specific Handheld Readers and SVDP NIP 22, 20 Sept 2006 Interaction of ink with substrate is an important driver of ecosystem Printed size 12 by 5 mm Courtesy MediaSec Example of deterrents that are robust to the quality of the printing: tile-like patterns and the MediaSec copy detection pattern (CDP), which bridges the overt/covert and original/copy gaps, and can be hybridized (through the use of a security key) to each other. One reading device can scan both deterrents simultaneously and obtain much greater security than for an individual deterrent
