Void Pantograph
Void pantograph is also known as "hidden word" technology. This feature makes it extremely difficult
for counterfeiters to reproduce checks or documents on color copiers or scanners. The word "VOID"
appears when copied or scanned. Graphic Dimensions can customize your void pantograph with any hidden
word in any language. When used specifically for checks, Graphic Dimensions will position your hidden
word to ensure compliance with Check 21 Regulations.

Prismatic Printing
A special printing technique where a pantograph background is printed in two or more colors on the
same printing unit. The different ink colors merge where they meet in the ink fountain to form a
blend of colors in the background. The special varying effect is very difficult to reproduce by
using a scanner, computer or copier.

Security Back Printing
Commonly referred to as a security screened backer, a word is reversed out of a lightly printed screen.
When copied or scanned, the screen and the reversed out word will drop out and not reproduce. When
ordering checks with this feature, Graphic Dimensions will ensure that your backer complies with the
Federal Reserve Regulation CC.

Warning Borders
This feature alerts the bank and recipient of the document that security features are present. The border
often defines some, but usually not all of the security features incorporated within the document.

|
Ghost Watermark
This feature is printed using opaque ink. The image cannot be duplicated by a copier or scanner. Hold
document at a 45 degree angle to view. Graphic Dimensions can print a custom ghost watermark backer
with your logo or name.

Thermochromic Ink
Provides a quick and simple method for bank tellers and recipients of documents, like prescriptions,
to confirm its authenticity. These inks are specially formulated to fade or disappear when rubbed or
exposed to heat. Standard thermochromic colors are magenta and 277 blue. Custom pastel colors are available.

|
Micro Printing
Commonly used in signature lines and borders. We utilize a special type font and size so the
microprint line is clearly readable under magnification, but will become blurred and unreadable
when copied or scanned.
|
|
Coin Reactive Inks
An image is revealed in gray when a coin is rubbed over the ink. This provides for immediate
verification of document authenticity without the use of any special devices. Coin reactive inks
cannot be scanned or copied.
|
|
Bleed Through Numbering
Prints in black or red and will penetrate the paper to create an image of the number on the back of
the sheet. This image cannot be lifted or altered. Authenticity of a document can easily be verified
without the use of any special agents. This feature can be used for both MICR and Arabic numbering.

Padlock Icon
A universal symbol within the check printing industry. It is used to identify and define the multiple
security features used on a specific check.
