Zusammenfassung: | The invention relates to documents of value incorporating features that prevent them being accurately copied by image reproduction means such as a scanner or photocopier. A document of value (10) bears an image comprising a material comprising a TPP (tetraphenyl porphine) wherein the image has a first appearance under daylight and has a second appearance under synthetic white light. A copy (14) of the original document (10) is not colour identical to the original document. One example of such TPP exhibits a change from a yellow/green colour in visible light to yellow when scanned on a fluorescent scanner, and a change from yellow/green to almost white when reproduction is attempted on an LED scanner. An appropriate printing ink is also disclosed. |
