In 1997 we introduced our anti-copy technology trademarked NoDupIt®. "Heat Reactive Anti-Copy Signature or Logo" Patent 5,636,874 This technology is one of the highest security features you can utilize. Touch or breathe on fingerprint area and a "valid" message will verify authenticity. When properly printed this technology has proved to be superior to all other Copy/Void Pantographs currently being offered. In 1997 we developed and applied for patents on a new Copy/Void Pantograph, trademarked ThermoSafe™, which works in conjunction with thermochromic inks. ThermoHide™ is a covert hidden message that both verifies authenticity and protects the document from copying or alteration attempts. TouchSafe® is a fingerprint seal that requires the user's interaction and must be breathed on, rubbed or touched to verify authenticity. Verify First Technologies developed and applied for patents on the TouchSafe® and ThermoHide™ hidden message technologies which combine thermochromic and conventional inks. In 1995 VFT began working with thermochromic inks. Tip the MetallicSafe™ area towards light and if you can't verify the message or number, then it's a counterfeit. When the product is scanned, photo or color copied, the highly reflective metallic image turns predominantly black, causing the image or message to disappear into the background. This patented feature works on the basis that a highly reflective metallic image, number or message is hot stamped over the top of a printed scrambled background with similar graphics as the metallic message. The "MetallicSafe"™ process is one that totally protects the product from scanning or photocopying. Several security paper mills incorporate this technology on the back of their security papers N 192 Verify First Technologies (VFT) developed and patented the ProGhost™ artificial watermark that cannot be digitally defeated and has since become a standard in document protection. This technology offers a very high level of security that is also laser compatible. The fourth image is normally the word SAFE but can be customized to any word, letters or graphics that would properly fit into the hologram.
The word SAFE ghosted into all the images When viewed at different angles four distinctly different images are apparent: TamperSafe® is an optical variable pixel hologram with the word SAFE ghosted into it.

These micro structures are also encrypted to allow verification of secret information. The technology, NaNOcopy™ utilizes micro-alpha-numeric characters to create a warning messge such as VOID or COPY to alert a casual observe. In 2001 we introduced an advanced anti-copy background we trademarked NaNOcopy™.
