Living nowadays where anything is possible and science and
technology open new doors for anyone means that these are
applied for illegal purposes too. Some of the criminals could
reach “the perfection” when counterfeiting documents yet
not known to professionals. The difference between genuine
documents and counterfeits lies in high quality and security
elements enclosed. Due to “competence” and devices used in
falsification, counterfeited documents are being produced in
detriment of those legal. Scanners, photocopiers and printing
machines are devices which make counterfeiting widespread.
An increasing number of cases indicate that the authorities
have a difficult task in stopping this phenomenon.
Sometimes it is almost impossible to tell which documents
are genuinely issued by designated authorities and which
have actually been counterfeited. Technology has to be used
in protecting travelling documents and not the other way
around. It is on this basis that this paper aims to discuss types
of printing used, focusing especially on the making process
and ways of obtaining them. There will be outlined particular
features of each printing type which are assessed by means
of magnifying devices and others described in the body of
this paper.
