NanoMatriX launches new security ink

Hong Kong-based NanoMatriX has introduced a new high-security ink – called MatriX-Intaglio – aimed at protecting documents, packaging, and currency from counterfeiting. It is targeting the new ink at the printing sector and government agencies.

Among the features of the new product is that it is infrared transparent, making it difficult to copy., and includes a fluorescent ink feature that provides added security under specific lighting conditions. It is also optically variable, changing colour or pattern when viewed from different angles, and can be formulated with additional covert and forensic security features.

NanoMatriX says the ink can be applied to paper and polymer substrates and has a “thick, heavy consistency” that allows it to hold its shape when applied, ensuring durability and colour stability on either material.
