Marking technology

The new KODAK Security Solutions suite of products and services has been designed to help brand owners protect against counterfeiting and piracy. The co.’s proprietary technologies include new invisible markers embedded during the manufacturing or printing process that the co says can be instantly and reliably authenticated in the field in a way that no counterfeiter can bypass. At the highest level of protection, the co. launches its Traceless System, a forensically invisible authentication technology that deploys a combination of proprietary markers and handheld readers. The Traceless System creates items with unique material properties that can only be detected using the co.’s reading technologies. Traceless marker materials can be mixed with inks, toners, varnishes and other items for analog and digital printing, as well as with paper pulp, plastics, powders, pigments, liquids and textiles. Users license the co.’s technology under multiyear agreements and have secure control of the markers, the readers and associated software.
