HP UV/IR Invisible Ink System

The HP UV/IR Invisible Ink System is designed for high-speed document production applications that use codes to customize printing services or to verify and match content.

The UV/IR invisible ink system enables businesses to produce customized documents without the need for unsightly visible codes. Invisible codes can be easily and inexpensively repositioned or printed in multiple locations while still preserving the look of the original document.

The system consists of a print cartridge and bulk ink supply connected by a tube. The ink contains ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) dyes, which fluoresce when exposed to UV or IR ligth sources. The ink is visible to the human eye only when it is illuminated with a UV light source. IR dyes can be machine-read using a laser scanner or camera system.

The UV/IR system is designed for use in applications where high-quality output on porous media is required.

The HP UV/IR Invisible Ink System provides the following benefits:

• Increases security, e.g. invisible watermarks

• Prints over normal toner text areas, e.g. a bar code image captured between text lines
