How Does It Work?
• Each item is invisibly marked with INKSURE’s SmartInk during
standard printing production
• Although visually identical to regular ink or varnish, SmartInk
includes a covert taggant code
• The code is customer/application exclusive
• INKSURE’s range of proprietary readers are used to conclusively
authenticate products and documents by detecting electro-
optical material behavior, identifying the code and providing on-
the-spot pass/reject indication5
SmartInk Covert Applications
• SmartInk can be applied to almost any substrate
– paper, plastic, foils, laminate, thermal transfer
ribbon etc.
• SmartInk utilizes standard printing processes &
infrastructure such as offset, inkjet etc.
“If it can be colored, coated, printed, or packaged, INKSURE can protect it”

Security Integrator – Case Study
• The Ukraine Tax Stamp (2008 – Current)
– Ukraine Population: 50M
– Tobaccos & Alcohol consumption – several billions items annually
– Security Integrator – EDAPS Corporation (Ukraine Based)
• Introduction of INKSURE’s covert taggants + distribution of >1,300 readers to
tax inspectors

– The Secretary General of the World Customs Organizations singled out the
Ukrainian tax stamp project13
• SmartInk can be applied to a Tax Stamp via any of the following:
– Hotstamp hologram tagged by SmartInk
– Background design by using SmartInk Intaglio or clear overcoat for a yes/no authentication
– SmartInk Inkjet for yes/no authentication of serial numbering
– SmartInk Sequential for group level tracking (manufacturer,
– designated markets, etc.)
• Multiple reading configurations:
– Field Forensic SignaSure for authorized customs personnel
– Handheld PocketSure for supply chain authentication
– High speed SortSure with counting capabilities for production
