MainTop Security Line Design System
Feature Highlights
”ō The system uses the technology of anti-counterfeit typesetting which implements anti-counterfeit effect by designing of security line without changing the method and process of printing. It is a one time investment system which generates endless security patterns designed in making plate and implemented in printing without any extra expenses.
”ō Regarding packaging design, it provides more benefits and complies with the three aesthetic principles of "Eye striking, Fine Sense and Comprehensive".
”ō Its effective anti-counterfeit effects brought by random security lines and rich patterns are the results of integrating theories of optic and other sciences. Special anti-counterfeit elements, such as Refraction, Lock-opening and Latent can be created against scan and replication conveniently.
Function
MainTop Security Line Design System consists of many anti-counterfeit elements such as Ground-tint, Regiment Flower, Lace, Relief, Latent Image, Micro-text, Anti-scanning, Image Process, etc.
Ground Tint
It is an uninterrupted stripe with regularity, penetrability, continuity and rich variation formed by changing elements repeatedly.
Regiment Flower
Just as its name implies, we can image an extremely enchanting fresh flower with magical hues and shapes. Regiment flower in guilloche is the epitome of flower. Its outline becomes more bright and smooth, hierarchy more distinct and structure more rational by means of processing various shapes of flower, performing exaggerative treatment, integrating with arc and density of lines and foiling color. Rich and colorful variation of regiment flower can be considered as an exotic flower in guilloche design.
Lace
It is generated by repeating one or more elements, often used in ornamental framesӣ

Relief
Flat texture made of lines can be easily changed into image in three dimensions by using line as basecoat and relevant engraving techniques.
Latent
By using lines in different direction, characters or images can be hidden in other background image. It is developed based on money printing technology.
Micro-text
It is generated by very small letter or character instead of lines, e.g. replacing a line segment with a line of letters which are smaller than 0.20mm or a line of Chinese characters which are smaller than 0.22mm that can not be found by counterfeiter.
Anti-scan
It is an anti-counterfeit technique against scanner or photoengraving camera with its super-accuracy (optical resolution is higher than 5000dpi).
Image Processing
It is an operational procedure for processing image by forming lines with various directions and formats, and integrating background image appropriate to it. It can create images showing various effects with the selected data. Image processing is a special kind anti-counterfeit method in engraving grain system. Production created with this procedure seems like random images. But you can find that all images are formed by lines if you inspect it carefully. Because picture resource is not confined with region, it facilitates its application considerably.

Lock-opening
It is an anti-counterfeit technology for hiding information such as character, mark and image. If you overlay a film with special screening on the texture, and view from a certain angle, you will see the hidden information on the texture.
Lock-opening belongs to secondary anti-counterfeit technology that is to say the hiding anti-counterfeit technology. It can be inspected only with tools and has no skill requirements for inspector.
Maintop Security Line Design System can imbed some anti-counterfeit elements such as Chinese and English characters, head portrait of people, company logo and mark into solid color patch, graded color patch, flat screen and image. These anti-counterfeit elements being imbedded are normally invisible by naked eye and can only be observed through membrane film.
Advantage
Maintop Security Line Design System can create lots of complex, beautiful and effective anti-counterfeit elements such as Regiment Flower, Lace, Ground-tint, Relief, Line-splitting, Image Processing, Latent, Lock-opening, Micro-texture and Anti-scanning. It is pre-printing anti-counterfeit software which integrates many anti-counterfeit techniques such as engraving element design, engraving element typesetting, color management, special typesetting, hierarchy management, direct output of phototypesetting, etc.

Regiment Flower Function: It can randomly change size, rotary angle and position of the outline after being filled up. With its strong randomness, it is hard for counterfeiter to reproduce the production made with this software. Other similar software is not comparable with it in this respect.
Relief Function: Except normal relief, Maintop Security Line Design System can also create multi-layer relief. It can produce engraving result with thick and thin lines. Smart manipulation of some functions could make carving result more rich and colorful.
Line-splitting Function: Maintop Security Line Design System can control variation and direction of line at its splitting ends. The line being split may have the same or different thickness so as to increase anti-counterfeit effect.
Color Management Function: It is a convenient and practical color management system which combines color arrangement with spot-color printing for anti-counterfeit closely. Its color management has good repeatability and its spot-color code and corresponding image can be updated in real time.
Other Functions: Functions of Lock-opening, Micro-texture and Image Processing have their own obvious advantages respectively.
