Global Microprinting Market (2013 -2018) 11/15/2012 | Page 10
REPORT DESCRIPTION & SCOPE
Micro-printing is the process of printing very small text which is not legible for the naked eye unless
magnified many fold on a note or item. It is most often used on currency as an additional anticounterfeiting measure. These days however, micro-printing is being used in packaging, ID cards,
bank checks and other items of value for the same purpose. Computer scanners or photocopiers
cannot detect the microprint unless with high resolution image sensors and hence any copies will
effectively show a line or dotted line instead of the micro-text.
The Micro-Printing Market is slated to grow at 28.99% CAGR for the next five years. The market is
estimated to reach $500mn by 2018.
