IntroductionThe photocopy machine has essential Office equipment in modern times.The high quality of reproduction of document has resulted in a more extensive usage of colour photocopying
Case: counterfeit Hong Kong (a Rank Xerox A- colour 635 photocopier)Examination : microscopic counterfeit repeated dotted patterns to identify the colour photocopier
Method and Materials Dotted patterns on colour photocopies : Series of repeated patterns of yellow dots - model the photocopying machine - to identify
The yellow dots were too pale to be clearly seen the naked eye / a hand lens used VSC : patterns on counterfeit with blue light and filter at 610 nm
Figure 2 illustrates one complete unit of the patterns as visualized in the monitor of the VSC
Results and Discussion Suspected : a Rank Xerox A color 635 photocopier printing the counterfeit. Specimens : sheets of control prepared with this photocopier
Dotted patterns : electronic devices in the machine during the photocopying process Ques : patterns unique, utilized to prove that photocopying was produce the counterfeit ?Ans : survey was colour photocopies by machines commonly available in Hong Kong
Survey on colour photocopiesTable1. A summary of a survey on the presence of regular dotted patterns on colour photocopies made by Rank Xerox,Canon and Ricoh photocopierss
Figure 3. Arrangements of the dotted marks Depicted in sample Photocopies from three of photocopying machine
Figure 4. Arrangement of repeated dotted motifs present on a photocopy as visualized in the monitor of the VSC
Figure 5. Example of the dotted motifs depicted from Cannon colour copiers
Conclusion Dotted patterns counterfeitcontrol specimens (Rank Xerox Acolor 635 photocopier) consistent in terms of size and arrangement
patterns • serial numbers machines • identifying the photocopiers (arrangements of the dots in the 8x15 grid unit cells.)
