We looked at Troy printing as a solution for ERx to avoid having to use special paper. During the testing, one of our Tech team members took a printed prescription and was able to make copies on the copier that captured the watermarks so well that it fooled a pharmacist. We quickly abandoned that idea.
Thank you,

P Please consider the environment
Not having any affiliation to Troy, but being printer of secure Rx Documents, every copy protection feature used in Rx Pads or Paper has a similar disclaimer.
· If a "Hidden Message or Void" fails to appear, it does not mean a document is counterfeit. It means the recipient should check for additional features. It is recommend that a "Warning Band" or "Warning Box" be printed on a secure document (prescription). This is the best way to list the various features contained in the document Securing a document is not an absolute science. However through the use on "layer-on-layer" security features, it is difficult, if not impossible, to accurately duplicate a document (prescription).
· Using Void Pantographs as a sole security feature cannot be guaranteed to totally alleviate fraudulent actions against your document. Print densities of copiers can be varied to override the “VOID” feature. Layering your document with other security features is highly recommended.
· Disclaimers - hidden void features can be circumvented by some high-end copiers - Industry standard is not to guarantee that void pantos will work on all copiers.
The key is to have multiple layers of security so if one is defeated the others are still present. We use MORE than THREE printed features on our Rx solution and start with plain paper using a thermal printer.
