However, document security features should be considered for a wide range of printed documents such as; grade reports, transcripts, prescription pads, gift certificates, redeemable coupons, confidential financial reports, human resource forms, legal documents, licenses, paid training documents, consulting reports, diplomas, course completions certificates and much more. If the duplication or alteration of these documents would cause financial loss or any other kind of loss, then it is essential that you recommend that your customer take document protection measures.
