<p>A hand-held redaction device adapted to apply a redaction film to a pa- per document such as to conceal confidential information, the redaction device (16) comprising a pressure-sensitive adhesive redaction film (1) being provided on a carrier tape (5) such as to be transferable to the pa- per document(12), the redaction film (1) comprising a first redaction film surface (2) having a dark colour (4a) or darkly coloured regions (4b-4g) such that when the redaction film (1) is applied to a white,whitish or other light coloured paper document(12) that is subsequently photocopied,the redaction film (1) causes markings (15a-15c) on the substantially exact area of the photocopy (14) corresponding to the area of the document (12) covered by the redaction film (1), which markings correspond to the dark colour (4a) or darkly coloured regions (4b-4g) of the first redaction film surface (2) and which distinctly render that area of the photocopy easily distinguishable to the human eye and immediately identifiable as containing confidential information that has been redacted.</p> |
