Title: Victor Foyle: Innovator in Document Authentication and Magnetic Ink Printing
Introduction
Victor Foyle is a notable inventor based in Toronto, Canada. He has made significant contributions to the fields of document authentication and magnetic ink character recognition. With a total of 2 patents to his name, Foyle continues to push the boundaries of innovation in his industry.
Latest Patents
Foyle's latest patents include a method for using fluorescent inks for document authentication. This innovative method introduces an authentication print characteristic in a visible image printed on paper. A part of the image is printed with an ink containing first and second component dyes. The first component is less fast than the second component in response to an applied activator. Normally masked by the second component, the first component bleeds beyond the image area when stimulated by an activator, creating a predetermined unmasked area of the fluorescent component. This invention also extends to the paper on which the authentication print characteristic is printed and includes a method for detecting forged images by analyzing the paper for such an image bleed.
Another significant patent by Foyle is a method for inkjet printing of E13B magnetic ink character recognition characters. This method allows electromagnetically recognizable E13B characters to be printed onto conventional paper using liquid magnetic ink. The printer receives data representing an E13B character and prints it onto a substrate according to a modified E13B character pattern. This pattern ensures that the interior of the E13B character is substantially filled and includes void arrangements that amplify the difference between upstream and downstream magnetic signals when read by an electromagnetic head.
