Infrared security feature glairINK
glairINK revolutionizes the way banknotes interact with authentication technology throughout their lifecycle. Our infrared machine-readable security features provide a perfect balance of security, cost and sustainability.
Security inks for intaglio printing
Our high-performance intaglio inks permit environment-friendly wiping methods and effective drying.
The development of new binding agents and additives yields practical benefits such as outstanding ink adherence and problem-free processing. The inks are especially suitable for three and four colour applications and for direct and indirect ink transfer.
Gleitsmann’s intaglio inks have proven their superiority in the very latest printing machines all over the world.
Inks for offset printing
Gleitsmann’s offset security inks are mainly used as background inks for bank notes, share certificates and stamps. The inks are eminently suitable for multicolour simultaneous printing.
Superior performance on high-speed printing machines, including e.g. simultaneous double-sided printing, distinguish the offset security inks from Gleitsmann. Shift changes can easily be bridged without premature drying of the ink fountain or the transport rolls.
Inks for numbering
Gleitsmann’s numbering inks are distinguished by their superior machine performance. Printers value the good ink acceptance and the absence of gumming or filling-in of the type on the numbering unit.
The inks have been developed to meet the demands of the very latest printing machines. Gleitsmann’s numbering inks offer outstanding quality even at high printing speeds or low inking levels.
