The complexity of anti-counterfeiting technology
Anti-counterfeit signs must constantly combine new content in order to always beat counterfeiters. But this means not only the development of anti-counterfeiting technology, but also the difficulty of decoding. For this reason, very special instruments are often required to decipher the anti-counterfeit signs: for example, a magnifying glass or a laser pointer with a well-defined wavelength. People are constantly improving the technical complexity of this combination of anti-counterfeit signs. At the same time, they must also enable local detectors to be used in the field. However, this is how inspections are performed by customs officers who have only a short time and limited means to inspect the goods. Many security signs are visually appealing; but they must also be easy to sell and apply.
Cost problem
The second problem faced by many folding carton printing plants is the high cost pressure: some anti-counterfeiting measures for high-end products have gradually been replaced by other measures due to the use of expensive special inks or costly surface finishes. Of course, this not only takes into account the cost of special materials but also the cost of the process involved: additional printing units, purchase detectors, costs for verification and contact of counterfeit signs, and more. However, more and more low-value items have been counterfeited, causing huge losses. For example, a counterfeit small bearing is much less precise than a genuine one, which can make a large production machine useless.
Protected by design
The directional design of anti-counterfeit signs is increasingly important. The anti-counterfeit signs are integrated in the print data before printing, and then printed together with the color printing. For this reason Manroland Press Manufacturing Company has plans to cooperate with different companies and will introduce exemplary solutions in practical applications. The benefit of the directional design approach is that no additional process costs will be incurred once the encoded data is produced.
In addition to verification methods, it is also often necessary to track products as they reach customers. For example, it is tracked by a corresponding identification mark or a continuous code, and a folding carton made for a branded product needs to be individually coded. However, such identification marks do not achieve acceptable print quality during high speed printing. Coding and other identification marks also have drawbacks and cost issues. So how can we ensure tracking and re-tracking in order to counterfeiting and buying in the grey market?
At present, a new anti-counterfeiting strategy that is vigorously promoted is the use of random marks for substrates to identify printed products according to paper fingerprints. In papermaking, the individual paper fibers are randomly distributed to each other, so that a profile is formed by the overlapping fibers. This profile is definitely not the same in a certain area due to a large number of fibers and a cluttered process on the microscopic plane with a very high probability. As long as there is a separate fine structure on each sheet, optical detection, encoding, and preservation can be performed. Therefore, the paper structure can be used as a mark for identifying the substrate, which is effectively anti-counterfeiting.
Paper fingerprint
This method of identifying printed products is not new, and it was patented in the 1980s and 1990s. However, this technique has not been properly applied. Since the paper structure is susceptible to dirt and abrasion, the paper fingerprinting method is often regarded as defiant in comparison with other methods; similarly, there is almost no corresponding inexpensive reader available, which is a defect in its reliability identification. . As to how the scanner or scanning laser can be reliably identified, whether the paper structure is damaged or not, the inventor is still studying the problem and the solution.
S2i technology
At the Hannover Messe 2004, the research team at Mannheim University used its s2i (security2image) demonstration structure as a pioneer to continue the development of paper fingerprinting methods. The basic innovation of the s2i technology is the reinforcement of paper fingerprints by means of a printing process: the unique changes in the structure of the printing ink can serve as symbols. Because the ink acts as a catalyst for the paper fingerprint, it establishes a basis for an inexpensive method of indirect detection of paper fingerprints. The current s2i technology is undergoing different field trials and trial applications, which can be identified using a platform scanner that is available in every office.
Cheap and safe
Making s2i identification marks is cheap - small codes can be printed on the printing press and can be decoded using common scanners in the market. In addition, this method provides a high degree of security against counterfeiting because the s2i data is stored digitally in the identification tag, so the digital password can be used in accordance with the public key system (pks). Compared with the simulation method, pks is considered more safe and reliable.
The pks (Public Key System) specifies that a pair of passwords is used, one of the two passwords is used to compile the password data, and only the other password can be used for decoding. Although in principle it is possible to decipher the password, for counterfeiters it is not only necessary to know the password, but also to know the secret location of the paper structure. This is practically impossible, because it is not worth the effort. Go for fraud.
S2i-fingerprint printing
In addition, the s2i method has a strong ability to prevent fingerprint wear and paper dust. Printing-based coding has a higher data density and data can be stored repeatedly. Defects can be safely identified during decoding and the areas involved in the analysis of paper and printed structures are eliminated. This high degree of reliability is a major advantage compared to the simple analysis of paper based methods. It is well known that folding cartons are subjected to various loads during loading, transport, and storage, and that s2i methods are used to ensure that they can be identified. For this reason, the expert committee of the German Ministry of Education and Research (bmbf) gave a high evaluation of the new generation of s2i technology for paper fingerprinting, and accepted a draft project proposal under a large number of innovative proposals. In 2008, we plan to launch a project named after o-pur. The o-pur project's research on new detection instruments and the identification of products using the new possibilities of existing technologies and software is still the content of the German Education and Research Department. The use of mobile phones in digital cameras is now being examined. With 100% market coverage in Germany and the number of mobile phones with camera functions still increasing, people can easily use mobile phones as identification media.
Manroland also belongs to the temporary organization of the German Bmbf planning project. In order to quickly detect images and code on production machines, in printing and finishing, they are currently working on another project for this project. They tested the paper fingerprints on their own presses and coded them. First offset printing, but also for all other printing methods. Faced with high-speed production, this is undoubtedly a challenge for image analysis. However, there has been a theoretical model for engineering projects, which should be implemented and tested later in the scope of the project of the Ministry of Education and Research. In addition, s2i coding should also be tested on other materials. In this regard, the inks and the personalities of the substrates cooperate to provide personalized graphics that can be identified.
The cost of a single piece of high-efficiency anti-counterfeit products is already lower than 1 euro cent, which can be applied to the bulk market. The goal of this plan is to apply as widely as possible in many aspects. Although s2i technology has not yet been integrated into high-speed production machines, it is already available to interested parties. For example, document security and counterfeit use in digital printing.
