INSTANT WIN LOTTERY TICKET WITH FULL COLOUR SECURITY AREA AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURE

摘要

A scratch-off instant game card and method of manufacture provides a substrate having a secure area with full colour variable images printed on the secure area comprising information which is variable between cards. The image is printed using a digital printing method capable of printing variable images including the liquid electro-photographic printing method, the toner electro-photographic printing method, the continuous inkjet printing method and the drop on demand inkjet printing method. The substrate for the security area comprises sufficient absorptive qualities to enable a rapid and high level of adhesion of the image to the security area and being sufficiently impenetrable to prevent determination of the contents of the image through the substrate. Two varnish layers and two scratch-off layers cover the graphical image.
