A method of manufacturing a lottery ticket 300 comprises: printing a variable indica 305 on a first area of a substrate, the variable indica having a component colour printing error 302,303; and printing a background 301 on a second area of the substrate, the background having the same colour component printing error. The background has an additional component colour not present in the variable indicia. A lottery ticket formed by the method includes a scratch off coating covering the variable indicia. The printing method ensures that any printing defects present in the variable indicia also occur in the background on the lottery ticket. By ensuring that random printing defects in the variable indicia also appear in the same lottery ticket background, detection of the printing defects becomes more readily apparent.

The present invention relates to compositions, comprising silver nanoplatelets, wherein the silver nanoplatelets are capped by a compound of formula (XX), wherein R41 is a C4-C25alkyl group, which may be interrupted by one, or more oxygen atoms, and n is a number 1 to 10, especially 1 to 4, very especially 1, or 2, a process for its production, printing inks containing the compositions and their use in security products. The capping with the compound of formula (XX) renders the surface on the nanoparticles more hydrophobic, while maintaining colloidal stability of their dispersions in organic solvents and/or monomer compositions. This combination of properties allows for production of stable UV curable coating/printing compositions, suitable for manufacture of dichroic security elements for protection of value documents. The surface modification, described in the present invention is suitable for silver nanoplatelets of different sizes and, correspondingly, colors, and is especially useful for manufacture of solvent-free coating, or printing compositions.

The invention generally relates to a security sheet or document having one or more enhanced watermarks. In one exemplary embodiment, the inventive security sheet or document is a single-ply paper that is made up of a paper layer including one or more watermarks, and a micro-optic security device (e.g., a patch or thread) that at least partially covers an upper or face portion of the watermark(s). The overlying patch or thread increases the durability of the watermark(s), thereby allowing for the watermark(s) as well as reduced fiber density areas therein to be made larger, and further allowing for the reduced fiber density areas to be made thinner. In a preferred embodiment, the micro-optic security device projects one or more synthetic images that coordinate or link in with the watermark design(s). In a more preferred embodiment, the micro-optic security device offers a machine detectable/readable feature in the form of enhanced IR-brightness, especially when measured in transmission. As will be readily appreciated, the inventive security sheet or document offers greatly improved counterfeit-resistance.
