240gsm Anti-copy Security Paper (Secure Certificates)
240gsm Anti-copy Security Paper
The Print Group Australia’s off-the-shelf 240gsm Anti-copy Security Paper is pre-printed with a variety of security features and is ready to purchase in reams of 500 sheets. While this security paper is extremely popular for printing certificates, statements of attainments, record of results and so on, the paper can be used for many documents to secure and avoid fraudulent replication.
The security features included in the document include:
1. The anti-copy background** offers an additional feature to help identify the original document from copied documents. When the original certificate is copied or scanned a “COPY” hidden message appears on the scanned or copied document.
2. Heat sensitive red Thermochromic icon. Thermochromic inks are sensitive to temperature changes and will disappear when the heat from your breath or finger is applied and reappear once cooled.
3. Solvent reactive ink. Solvent reactive inks provide visible protection against acids, bases, bleaches and solvents. The ink smudges when touched be one of these substances.
4. Security warning band. Lists the security features incorporated into the document.
5. Microtext security line. A minute font which can only be viewed through a magnifying glass. If the document is copied, the text will blur rending the message unreadable. On our off-the-shelf stock, this microtext can be found as a square line of text around the thermochomic ink lock and currently says The Print Group.
The price includes delivery to 1 point within Australia.

**The anti-copy background is only one of the many security features of the paper to act as a deterrent, however, it can be affected by variances such as copier to copier, and print run to print run. We cannot guarantee that the anti-copy pattern will work 100% on all photocopies/scanners due to ever evolving technology and it is also impossible to test every photocopier/scanner manufactured. We highly recommend you test the paper to ensure you are happy with the result. There are other security features that cannot be replicated such as the micro text, heat sensitive thermochromic ink and the solvent reactive ink used in the pattern. These are the more significant features of the security paper with the anti-copy pattern acting as a secondary visual deterrent and is complementary to the other main features. This security paper not only meets, but exceeds the AQF’s Qualifications Issuance Policy requirements on reducing document fraud (found in sections 2.1.6 and 2.2.3) and ASQA clauses 3.1 – 3.4 – Provide secure certification.
