TRANSCRIPT AUTHENTICITY

To test for authenticity: This transcript is printed on one of the most technically advanced security papers.  When scanned or photocopied the words “Void” and “VoidSecure” will appear on the copy.  The paper contains invisible fluorescent security fibers and is chemically sensitive to a variety of document altering chemicals providing a visible stain or starburst reaction on the paper when document altering chemicals are applied.  TonerSecure bonds paper and toner and attempts to remove printed images will damage the paper surface, revealing the alteration.  It also contains an artificial watermark on the back which can be seen by holding the sheet at an angle where you can see a stamp mark image of VoidSecure®. This artificial watermark can also be validated by rubbing the edge of a coin along the back of the sheet for the image to appear.
