Anti-counterfeit screen and flexo inks launched

Microtrace LLC and XSYS Print Solutions have announced a partnership to deliver a traceable, anti-counterfeit ink technology to the narrow Web tag and label industry.  Microtaggant security Inks allow any printer to easily apply the anti-counterfeit technology to any printed materials using flexographic or screen printing processes.
In basic form, Microtaggant is a unique numeric code sequence in a multiple colored layer format delivering multiple layers of security through a single microscopic particle.
XSYS Print solution has tailored made an UV curable ink system, that can be applied either using Flexo or rotary screen technology. The Microtaggant Security Inks have been tested with XSYS UV products, such as Flexocure range and CombiWhite.
The unique Microtaggant encoded particles are certified and registered to each customer or application.  Once a formulation is produced for a customer it becomes their exclusive “fingerprint” and is never again used for any other application.  The Microtaggant Security Inks are applied to the label and easily read and decoded with an inexpensive hand-held reader or scanner.
Microtrace offers a variety of ready-to-use identification and authentication solutions in the form of compounded plastic resins, films, adhesives, paper, security labels and now security inks.
