Figure 6.0 is an illustration of a business check with the base paper coated in the payee
name and the amount regions of the document. The reverse side of the check reveals that
the TROY Laser Indelible Solution (TROY Security Toner and TROY Laser Indelible coated
paper) has been used to print this check. The visible nature of the indelible image acts as a
deterrent to alteration and thereby reduces the risk of being targeted by fraud.
*Note: Bleach has no dissolving effect on TROY Security Toner.

Figure 7.0 illustrates the effect of careful removal of toner from the payee name “Chris” on a
check printed with the TROY Laser Indelible Solution. In this example, the toner was
removed with a repeated scraping motion using an X-acto knife. Toner removal reveals the
red image underneath the toner. The dye released from the TROY Security Toner permeates
the paper and cannot effectively be removed without damaging the paper. As previously
discussed, some solvents are able to dissolve the toner, but when this is attempted the dye
will migrate into surrounding areas, creating a visible red stain. If chemical alteration is a
concern to an organization, the TROY Laser Indelible Solution will create a tamper-evident
stain that is easily seen by first-line inspectors.
