SECURITY HOLOGRAMS – Special Features With Description

SECURITY HOLOGRAMS

A hologram is made not by engraving or using some special kind of ink as is commonly assumed, but by sophisticated technology known as laser optics through an intricate and complex process called holographic recording with the aid of light from a specialised laser.

The holograms are made of discrete holographic diffraction gratings, which can illuminate at different angles under any type of natural or artificial light. It diffracts seven colours of the spectrum giving it an extraordinary visual appeal.

All holograms offered by Holoprint incorporate specialised and sophisticated visual images, requiring complex and expensive optical equipment and highly advanced technologies for its manufacturing. The high quality origination provides considerable barriers to counterfeit due to inherent advancement of holographic techniques. Visual features are designed using extremely unusual and tightly controlled origination techniques and expertly incorporated onto the security image. They are specially designed to protect against image re-origination even by the well-equipped secured laboratories. These features are also designed to provide obvious and memorable variable movement and image shifts to encourage public recognition and authentication.

Hologram Master Origination

We offer different options for hologram master origination by incorporating different security features and create various kinds of depths or layers within a single hologram.

1. Real Object Shooting

   In this origination, real object is kept as subject in mastering machine and its image is recorded in hologram with depth.

2. Advanced Dot-Matrix Setup

   In this origination. machine artwork created and vector files are further used to create several covert and overt features. This machine records the file in the form of pixels to create an image on the hologram.

3. Lithography

   This is an advanced feature over the dot matrix setup. Previous origination method creates features in only colours of spectrum of rainbow, whereas in lithography, It goes as high as 120,000 DPI in order to create dead or no colour features in hologram like fresnel effect, bas relief effects, etc.

4. E-beam

   This is highest level of security origination where there is no use of pixels and features through electronic beam. This is not counted in resolution as lines have no resolution like in case of pixels. Very minute (as low as 5 microns) and unique features can be created though this machine. It is said that due to its extremely high standards and limited availability, it can never be replicated.

Level 4 – E-Beam

• Bas-relief to true color 2D lmage vertical switch effect

  With electronic beam exposure it is possible to achieve special effects which are not directly ‘holographic”, but also work with the micro-structure of a hologram. E-beam technology allows synthesising special bas-relief 3D images. Such images do not depend on the parameters of the light source. This feature is with switch effect.

• Shaped Lens Star (Diffractive Bas-Rehef)

  These are optical lenses and simulate an extra ordinary depth. These holographic lens designs also produce highly noticeable light reflection and color plays. This appears to be eye catching in the hologram. Holoprint with E-beam technology has introduced shapes in this effect. No other technology can create the shapes in lens.

• True Color Background

  It is made up of photographic quality artwork, and recorded at resolution of more than 1,000.000 DPI (Dot Per Inches). In this case, counterfeiters cannot achieve the required accuracy of micro-structures forming in the background of the hologram.

• Letter lens Vertical Switch Effect

  The security element (a flat lens) is computed and manufactured so as to make an additional image visible when viewed under a point source. The letter lens element is thus a nano optical element with a pre-defined scattering pattern. The optical element forms full parallax movement of the symbols with switching between them (here between H and P letters) The effect requires spot or small light source.

• Gradient Effect

  Different varieties of computer generated random pattern designs and each graphical design has been provided with colour changing effect in the form of gradations. This cannot be achieved with any other kind of printing.

• E-Beam Motion

  The computer synthesised optical effect creates symbols with full ortho-paralax movement. (Inclination left/right gives up/down movement, inclination up/down gives left/right movement of the symbols) Such a special horizontal/vertical motion of image can be created only by E-beam technology. The same motion cannot be achieved by any other dot-matrix technology.

• Nano Text & Nano Image

  E-beam technology allows nano texts as small as several microns to be incorporated into holograms. Five to ten micron high nano texts can be seen through a good optical microscope. Similar to Nano text, E-beam technology allows incorporation of nano images in holography.

• Kinetic Effect

  This is the patten of line which moves in linear, radial, conical or any angle when the hologram is tilted.

• True Color Micro Image

  It is made up of photographic quality artwork and recorded at resolution ot moro than 1.000,000 dpi (Dot Per Inches). In this case, counterfeiters cannot achieve the required accuracy of micro-structures forming in the Image.

• Multi-Color Micro CLR Image

  The asymmetrical microrelief of thc optical element forms different images at once at reflect laser light. This is an image that can not be seen With a naked eye, The image can be visualised by the use of a diode lasor or a specially designed compact reader. The feature requires very high accuracy of microrelief fabrication and reproduction. the asymmetrical multi-level shape of the microrelief is recorded at 10 nanometers resolution in depth. so the feature forms different covert images at diffraction orders. which can be verified surely by the compact reader.

• Mirror Lens

  It is designed to give fascinating 3-D holographic effects, which is visible at wide new angle range.

• Bas-Relief Effect with Smart Glint Effect

  An additional image (the sign “H”) can be seen under a bas-relief image, when viewed under a point light source. The symbol has full parallax movement in big range of the entire area of bas-relief effect

• Micro Text with Kinetic Effect

  Micro text cannot be seen with naked eyes, its close visual inspection can be done by magnifier. When seen under a magnifier they reflect different colours on different angles.

• Achromatic Micro Text Letters

  These are colourless micro text letters which do not reflect holographic rainbow colours.

• Micro map

  In this effect, a map IS given In Size which can only be seen through a microscope,

• Shaped Lens

  These are optical lenses and simulate an extra ordinary depth. These holographic lens designs also produce highly noticeable light reflection and color plays. This appears to be eye catching in the hologram. Holoprint with E-beam technology has introduced shapes in this effect. No other technology can create the shapes in lens.

• High-Resolution Lines with Kinetic effect

  High-resolution line patterns are the sets of thin lines of complicated geometry drawn with high resolution. The technology allows continuous visual changes of color along each separate line.

• Decolor Effect

  The asymmetric shape of micro-relief recorded at 10 nanometers resolution in depth allows switch effects to be created that can be seen when the object is turned 180 degrees. It can be given in two ways:
  1) In the normal position colorful and contrast image is visible.
  2) Whereas a no color and no contrast image appears when an Object is turned by 180 degrees.

• Diffractive Effect

  It is a process of designing a lens to meet a set of performance requirements and constraints. These parameters include surface profile types like spherical, aspheric and diffractive.

• CLR Detector

  Security features are impossible to record optically. Multi-level CLR image technology requires very high accuracy of micro-relief reproduction. Images seen in the ‘CLR’ device differ in the plus one and minus one orders of diffraction.

• Bas-Relief

  With electronic beam exposure it is possible to achieve special effects which are not directly “holographic”. but also work with the micro-structure of a hologram. E-beam technology allows synthesising special bas-relief 3D images. Such images do not depend on the parameters of the light source.
