Sun Chemical specializes in providing simple authentication methods and tools to distinguish between genuine and counterfeit items.  Historically this has been accomplished with the use of machine readable taggants, optically variable devices and other traditional technologies.  This has now been extended to include a secure hidden image option based on the concept of embedding completely invisible image into existing artwork - no special printing inks, processes or techniques are required. Simple low cost plastic lenses decode and reveal the images – these lenses can even be flexible for use on curved surfaces.  Alternatively, digital devices such as a smartphone can capture, decode and transmit hidden images globally. 

We offer Hidden Indicia™ through an exclusive partnership with Graphic Security Systems Corporation (GSSC). GSSC is the inventor of hidden image technology and holds more than 40 global patents.

Highlights:

• Compatible with all conventional and digital print processes
• Customized hidden images are encoded into artwork files just once – each printed impression contains the hidden elements
• Variable Doc-U-Lok hidden images can be encoded for serialization or high security documents
• The system can also be captured on an engraved cylinder and used to emboss a robust and durable hidden mages on a wide range of substrates
• Images are revealed optically with an inexpensive lens or digitally by using a customized digital camera or smartphone
