Overview

About Intaglio Security Inks

Intaglio security inks are thick formulations transferred from engraved metal plates into paper, creating detailed raised images that are difficult to reproduce. The process supports portraits, intricate designs, and microtext for currency, passports, and other official documents. Prints provide strong colour stability and durability over many years. Available security options include IR-transparent, fluorescent, and optically variable effects. Ultra-covert markers and traceable forensic signatures can provide further authentication layers.
