The toner glows under UV light, enabling it to attract more attention and add unexpected touches to printing applications. Heidelberg claims that the effect can also be used as a security feature, since the toner is almost impossible to copy.
This enables printing of admission tickets or wristbands, for example, and other applications in the event industry that only light up under UV light.
In total, three additional toners can now be used in addition to CYMK: white, varnish, and neon yellow. Customers are required to have the toner and an additional developer unit. The new toner can also be retrofitted to all Versafire CV and Linoprint CV systems already in the market.
