VOID
PANTOGRAPH
Void
pantograph (VP) is designed to protect originals against photocopying.
On the original, the “VOID” or other message is hidden,
but when photocopied it becomes visible. VP is one of the most
widely used and accepted technologies used in security printing.
Most importantly VP is a feature that has been legislated or mandated
(i.e. the Centers for Medicaid Services, Check Payment Association,
etc.) in various vital documents.
Our patented VP is
one of the most effective void pantographs available for the
traditional web or sheet fed offset and flexography print industry.
Arcis' Digital Void Pantograph (DVP) is the first
patent pending technology that is tailored to the high speed,
on-demand toner or ink based digital print equipment. Click
to see the list of certified digital presses.
Key benefits
are:
- Private branding – customize
your own void pantograph to increase affinity, business retention
and level of security
- Need no special
requirements – plain paper in, secured document out
using any workflow

VERIFICATION
GRID
The Verification
Grid (VG) is a new patent pending technology from Arcis. The VG is
designed to work with a Void Pantograph (VP) or it can used on its
own. It is a continuous screened pattern or design (like a basket
weave pattern for example) that is visible on an original document,
but is not visible on a photocopy. An authenticable security feature
without the use of any tool. As such it complements and increases
the effectiveness of the Void Pantograph technology.
This technology is
one that can be delivered using traditional print processes
such as sheet or web offset and flexography printing, but also
can be printed on demand on all high-speed toner or ink based
digital print equipment.
Key benefits
are:
- Quick authentication
without the need of any tools
- Enhance the performance
of the VP if used concurrently
- Easy implementation
without any special requirements
- Cost effective

HALO
HALO belongs in our family of authentication technologies.
It is a patented covert security feature such that computers, scanners,
photocopiers and printers cannot duplicate the hidden security
feature. The HALO security features can be authenticated using
a proprietary lens. One outstanding security advantage of HALO
is that multiple security images/words etc. can be stacked one
on top of the other in the same printed area – thereby defeating
even the most determined forgers.
Key benefits
are:
- Can be printed
using both traditional offset processes as well as on all
digital print equipment
- Multiple levels
of hidden images for a higher lever of security
- Easy implementation
without any special requirements such as ink, substrate etc.
- Quick authentication
- Cost effective

FALSE
POSITIVE TESTING
False
Positive Testing (FPT) is one of the most innovative security features
for the traditional print (web or sheet fed offset, flexography)
processes and is currently patent pending. It is a covert security
feature that provides authentication but does not require the use
of a propertary decoder.
FPT can
be verified with the widely used and trusted Counterfeit Currency
Detector Pen (CCDP),
which is used to authenticate money everywhere from banks to
grocery stores. The way the pen works is that a gold mark means
the money is authentic while a dark mark means the money is
counterfeit. FPT is designed to cause 2 reactions in an original,
as shown in the illustration when tested with the CCDP. A gold
mark and a dark mark to authenticate that
the document is real – in other words a false and a positive
reaction at the same time. With advanced implementations
of FPT additional hidden information beyond just the false
and positive response
reactions can be revealed allowing an even higher level of
security.
Key benefits
are:
- Quick authentication
without the need of a proprietary lens
- Easy deployment
and cost effective
