TROY INTRODUCES A NEW LINE OF SECURITY TONERS FOR USE IN HEWLETT PACKARD PRINTERS

TROY Group, Inc., the World Leader in Secure Output Solutions, announces a new family of toner, TROY Security Toner.

An effective solution in the ongoing battle against document fraud, TROY Security Toner uses a patent pending, solvent-reactive toner technology developed by TROY's research scientists. The technology consists of a high adhesion toner with a hidden red dye. When a solvent is used to attempt alteration on a document protected with TROY Security Toner, the dye is released creating a highly visible and permanent red stain on the paper.

Throughout the world, fraudulent alteration continues to be a significant threat to documents that contain sensitive information. Many businesses and organizations use specialty papers with special coatings and solvent reactive properties to help protect these documents. However, many important documents continue to be printed on standard printing paper. TROY Security Toner can be used to add a cost-effective layer of security to these plain-paper documents. The toner can also be used on existing security papers and pre-printed forms to provide an even higher level of fraud protection.

This allows a wide range of businesses, government agencies, schools and other industries to add a new layer of security to their sensitive documents.

Applications for the use of TROY Security Toner include educational transcripts and grade reports, certificates of ownership, vital records, legal documents, medical prescriptions, checks, titles and many other types of documents containing sensitive information.

"TROY Security Toner provides a cost effective method for any organization to add a new level of security to their documents", states Patrick Dirk, CEO and President for TROY Group, Inc. "When criminals attempt to alter an important printed document with a chemical, the dye in the toner is released, ruining the document which prevents criminals from using it for their benefit. Early test marketing of this product line has been extremely well received. Financial Institutions particularly like the way it allows them to easily add security to bank drafts/cheques, foreign drafts, money orders and other negotiable documents. We believe that TROY Security Toner will become an important new layer of security used at banks, educational and other industries were security of printed documents is vital."

TROY Security Toner can only be obtained from ChequeWrite (UK) Limited an authorised TROY reseller
