-- Stability -- survives physicochemical extremes and will not alter the
quality of thermal transfer ink or printing;
-- Persistence -- DNA can be authenticated in the ink, ribbon and printed
material;
-- Consistency -- DNA is detectable homogeneously throughout each batch
of ink and in all printed samples;
-- High resolution -- only miniscule levels of DNA are required for
authentication.
SigNature DNA in Thermal Transfer offers the benefit of:
-- Truly invisible image that cannot be copied;
-- Quality printing with no retooling or change in process;
-- Quick detection combined with forensic authentication;
-- Accessible and Affordable.
Thermal transfer printing is a universally accepted and cost effective
method of printing variable data such as event tickets, kosher and halal
food labels, shipping and inventory labels, baggage claim tags and a host
of consumer products. In addition, APDN has marked a diverse range of
security inks, including intaglio, laser and inkjet, as well as label
adhesives and clear varnishes with SigNature DNA as part of a complete
layered brand protection strategy.
