Ink.jet, a division of Gunther International, Ltd. has been licensed as the worldwide distributor for Hewlett-Packard’s invisible ink jet technology. Ink.jet, a supplier of thermal ink jet printing systems, and Hewlett-Packard combined their efforts to develop an invisible ink coding solution. These coding solutions will replace traditional visible bar codes with invisible codes.
“We are very excited about this new ink jet product,” said Andy Mason, HP product manager. “The HP invisible ink print cartridge was developed to improve document appearance and security by using UV/IR invisible ink to print control codes. This ink is only visible to the human eye when it is illuminated with a UV light source. The IR feature enables machine reading via a laser scanner or camera system.”
“Our customers are very sensitive to the appearance of their documents,” said Per Hellsund, president of Ink.jet. “For some, these documents are the only contact they have with their customers, so it is very important to them that their documents look clean and professional. Invisible ink technology will allow mailing and marketing companies to include all the data they require to process, sort and personalize mailings without compromising the aesthetics of their documents with obtrusive visible bar codes.”
