Customized Controlled Paper Stock

The Abagnale SuperBusinessCheck is manufactured in the USA with top quality, premium-grade security paper made by Appleton Papers. The check stock is tightly controlled, and no checks are ever sold completely blank. Every check order is customized in some way for the end user. Companies that print their own name, address, MICR line, etc. on their checks still receive some type of customization on the Abagnale SuperBusinessCheck that is unique to their company.

Fourdrinier Watermark

The Abagnale SuperBusinessCheck contains a dual-tone Fourdrinier (true) watermark that is pressed into the paper at the mill and is visible from either side when held to the light. This dual-tone true watermark provides instant authenticity of the document and cannot be replicated, copied or scanned.

Thermochromatic Ink

The front of the Abagnale SuperBusinessCheck contains two pink lock-and-key icons printed with thermochromatic (heat-sensitive) ink that fades away when heated above 85° and reappears when cooled. This thermochromatic icon can be rubbed or breathed on for instant authentication of the check. Color copiers cannot reproduce the reactivity of thermochromatic ink.

Toner Anchorage

The Abagnale SuperBusinessCheck paper is treated with toner anchorage that helps bond the toner onto the paper when printed with a hot laser printer. Without toner anchorage, criminals can alter laser checks by lifting off the printing with common office tape. See “Laser Printing and Check Fraud” in the Abagnale Fraud Bulletin, available through SAFEChecks.

Explicit Warning Bands

The Abagnale SuperBusinessCheck has two warning banners that explicitly describe specific overt security features and advise the recipient to look for these features before accepting the check. These warning banners may also deter forgers from "experimenting" with the check.

Copy Void Pantograph

This patented security feature is an indiscernible dot pattern designed into the Abagnale SuperBusinessCheck. When the check is copied or scanned by many copiers, the word "void" appears and invalidates the copy.

Chemical Sensitivity

The Abagnale SuperBusinessCheck reacts to over 80 different chemicals. When chemically washed, the Abagnale SuperBusinessCheck will stain, or discolor and will no longer look like the original document.

Chemical Wash Detection Box

The back of the Abagnale SuperBusinessCheck contains a box describing the effects of check washing on the check. The check is reactive to over 80 chemicals, and the box may act as a deterrent to chemical tampering.

Prismatic Printing

The design of the Abagnale SuperBusinessCheck includes an intricate background with subtle gradations between colors. The intricacy and gradations are difficult to reproduce on most color copiers.

High-Resolution Borders

The Abagnale SuperBusinessCheck is engineered with intricately designed borders that are difficult to duplicate. High-resolution borders are ideal for covert security because the design often distorts when copied.

Chemically Reactive Ink

The dark blue high-resolution borders on the Abagnale SuperBusinessCheck are made with specially formulated SICPA ink. The borders dissolve when soaked in acetone, showing clear evidence of chemical tampering.

Sequenced Inventory Control Numbers

Every Abagnale SuperBusinessCheck that is not numbered on the face in the MICR line has a sequenced inventory control number printed on the back. Numbering every check is imperative for audit and control purposes. It discourages internal theft when an accurate log is maintained.

Laid Lines

Lines of varying width and spacing are printed on the back of each Abagnale SuperBusinessCheck to deter cut-and-paste alterations.

Fluorescent Ink

A security seal and Frank Abagnale’s trademarked “signature” is printed on the back of the check in ultraviolet ink. It becomes visible under ultraviolet light and helps authenticate the original document.

Fluorescent Fibers

The Abagnale SuperBusinessCheck contains ultraviolet light-sensitive fibers embedded in the paper that fluoresce under UV light and further serve as an authentication tool.

Microprinting

The Abagnale SuperBusinessCheck contains printing so small that it appears as a line to the human eye, and can only be read with a magnifying glass. Microprinting will often blur when scanned or photocopied.

"Do Not Negotiate" on Back Panel

“Do Not Negotiate” is printed on the back panels of the Abagnale SuperBusinessCheck stubs. This prevents someone from taking a blank panel and making a fraudulent check on true watermark paper.

Security Features Listed on Back of Check

The Abagnale SuperBusinessCheck security features are printed on the back panel of each check. This can aid the recipient in knowing which security features to look for in authenticating the check.
