    Default Scratch off ink (lottery tickets kind) for digital prints

    We need to produce short runs (200-500) of variable data printed tickets, that are covered with some sort of scratch off ink to hide content. Any ideas how to do this in the most economical way? Thanks in advance.

    How about using scratch off wafer seals?
    Here is a link to a company we have used in the past.

    Scratch cards, Gift cards, Phone cards, Security labels

    Hope this helps,

    Default Latex

    Hello smatros,
    we only use latex with screen printing.
    Some of the other ink options allow the secret information to show through when viewed under ultra violet lights (which many retail outlets have to check bank notes).
    Regards iminch.

    Scratch off foil stamping might help.

    You could always run the base print digitally with the VDP and them spot coat the scratch off with a conventional press.
