Abstract: Ink composition described are suitable for ink jet printing (ink jet inks) and are highly effective for simultaneously imparting visible and fluorescent images. Figure 1 illustrated both visible and fluorescent images enabled by printing the inks of the invention on a substrate, one of a printed substrate in reflection under illumination by visible light and one of the same printed substrate fluorescing under ultraviolet excitation. The image scanned in reflection (102) was obtained by illumination the marking with visible light. The image scanned in fluorescence (104) is obtained by viewing the visible red-fluorescent emissions under ultraviolet (UV) illumination.

Abstract: A method and system for authenticating an item by using a security marking. (12) The security marking (12) is provided on the item with an OVD ink capable of absorbing light in a visible wavelength range to appear visibly black and producing a red fluorescent emission under ultraviolet excitation. Under visible light illumination and ultraviolet excitation, a visible image (24) and a fluorescent image (22) are obtained from the security marking using image scanners (80). The images are compared to find a substantial match with each other. The security marking can be a postage indicium (12), a barcode (38), a symbol, a message or an image.

Abstract: Signature protected photosensitive optically variable (POV) inks are provided, which are capable of providing a unique signature in addition to other security features of POV inks. The inks contain at least two types of colorants, and a third, signature component and other ingredients to enable printing. A first colorant comprises a fluorescent dye and/or pigment emitting light within a characteristic emission band when excited by fluorescent-exciting radiation. A second colorant comprises a dye and/or pigment having a light absorption band at overlapping or longer wavelengths than the characteristic emission band of the first colorant in such a way as to result in a dark color. The third component is a fluorescent/phosphorescent rare earth composition. The inks give dark visible ink images, which also produce detectable coincident fluorescent and phosphorescent images. The inks can be used with detectors of red phosphorescence to achieve a new level of security in high speed sorting operations.

Abstract: Water-soluble, photosensitive, optically variable (POV) inks exhibit improved OCR readability due to improved infrared absorption properties. The inks can produce images that can be viewed with both visible and ultraviolet light to have physically coincident positive and negative images. The new inks contain at least two types of colorants in addition to the IR absorber and other suitable ingredients. The first colorant comprises a fluorescent dye or pigment emitting light within a characteristic emission band when excited by fluorescent-exciting radiation. The second colorant comprises a carbon black infrared radiation absorbing composition alone or with one or more dyes or pigments having a light absorption band at longer wavelengths than the characteristic emission band of the first colorant or also overlapping the emission wavelength of the first colorant in such a way as to result in a dark color. The inks are formulated to provide higher contrast in the presence of IR radiation while retaining a strong negative correlation between the visible and fluorescent images.

Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment of the invention, a method for embedding key information into a printed document is disclosed. The method comprises creating a first section comprising a first ink having a first color under white light; and creating a second section comprising a second different ink. The second ink comprises a fluorescent ink and has a second color under white light which is substantially the same as the first color, and the fluorescent ink has a fluorescence when subjected to fluorescent-exciting radiation. The first section and the second section are visually indiscernible from each other on the printed document in white light. Also, the second section comprises key information, which is selected or highlighted by a user during creation of the document, and the first section comprises non-selected information.

Abstract: Machine-readable light-colored or invisible, but luminescent, postage-evidencing symbology and dark, readable other postage information are printed, preferably in a single print operation, to provide large amounts of information without diminishing read rates. The resulting combination image can be printed independent of substrate material to enable the provision of a high information density without obscuring any one component. The postage-evidencing symbology is printed in large-format and can include redundant information within an IBI image or between an IBI and visible dark image for a variety of practical purposes. In a preferred form, the images are printed using conventional ink jet printers using water-based inks. In one embodiment of this type, the images are printed with a conventional two-cartridge color ink jet printer by printing postage-evidencing symbology with a single-color ink and printing the visible dark image as a composite dark color from a standard multi-color cartridge.
