Abstract: A method for printing information on a substrate having security features includes the steps of: applying a DC potential difference (DC.sub.TB) between a back electrode and a toner delivery means to create a flow of toner particles from the toner delivery means to the back electrode; interposing a printhead structure, the printhead structure having printing apertures and control electrodes around the printing apertures, between the toner delivery means and the back electrode so as to create a spacing having a width L between the printhead structure and the back electrode and to imagewise control the flow of toner particles; passing the substrate having a thickness T in .mu.m through the spacing; adjusting the spacing between the printhead structure and the back electrode such that the width of the spacing L is greater than or equal to 1.5 T; adjusting the DC potential difference (DC.sub.TB) such that the relationship .vertline.DC.sub.TB .vertline./L, expressed in volts per micrometer (V/.mu.

Abstract: An apparatus for security printing of a document on a substrate, having a first and second side, comprising:i) means for feeding variable data in a predetermined digital format to printing stations,ii) at least two printing stations, for image-wise depositing, in accordance to the predetermined format of the variable data, toner particles on the substrate,iii) means for fusing the toner particles to the substrate, to form a fused toner image, characterized in thata) the apparatus comprises means for introducing security features in the document andb) the means for fusing the toner particles to the substrate comprise means for heating and melting the toner particles such that between the melting toner particles and the substrate a contact angle of at most 90.degree. is formed and leave at most 25 mg/m.sup.2 of an external releasing agent on the fused toner image.

Abstract: The present invention provides a security document comprising (1) a laminate comprising two laminating elements serving as support and covering element and (2) an information carrier laminated between the laminating elements, at least one laminating element comprising two transparent or translucent plastic sheets serving as outer resin layer and inner resin layer characterized in that in the said at least one laminating element comprising an outer resin layer and an inner resin layer a fluorescent dye is comprised between said outer resin layer and said inner resin layer, said fluorescent dye giving light piping in said laminating element containing said fluorescent dye when irradiated with light having a wavelength between 200 and 1000 nm.

Abstract: The present invention provides an image receiving material comprising on a support an image receiving layer containing physical development nuclei characterised in that said image receiving material contains a nacreous pigment in said image receiving layer and/or in an optional layer between said support and said image receiving layer. Excellent contone images with an antique look can be obtained with such an image receiving material in a silver salt diffusion transfer process.
