MGX named distributor for DSS’s HP-certified security papers

Document Security Systems, a manufacturer of products and packaging containing authentication technologies, has entered into a distributor agreement with Masterpiece Graphix (MGX), a manufacturer of customized, pre-coated substrates for digital printing. MGX will distribute DSS's new line of digital press-compatible AuthentiGuard security papers to HP Indigo users and other digital press operators. 

DSS's line of AuthentiGuard security papers features patented copy-warning technologies that prevent and deter counterfeiting via copiers and desktop scanners. Attempted copies or scans of a document printed on this paper will reveal hidden warning words on the copy such as ‘Void’ or any other warning or graphics the users specify.   

On March 4 the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) informed DSS that its new DeterX roll-fed security paper passed several necessary tests and the paper is now considered an HP Indigo certified substrate, allowing HP Indigo clients to use the paper on their HP Indigo ws4050 and ws4500 digital presses.   

This is the second of two DSS secure technology papers in the last six months that have been certified by RIT for HP Indigo use.  In October 2009, DSS received certification for security sheet-fed stock for use in the HP Indigo 5000 and 5500 models. 

Patrick White, chief executive officer and president of Document Security Systems, said: ‘With this paper, HP Indigo clients can now manufacture and sell security printing such as coupons, event tickets, personalized prescription forms, gift certificates, school transcripts, government permits, almost any document paper or plastic requiring counterfeit prevention security. We look forward to working with Masterpiece Graphix and their large client base of HP Indigo owners.’
