Systems and methods for material authentication

摘要

Systems and methods for authentication of materials used in imaging members and assemblies. Authentication of imaging materials ensure that compatible components are being used with the imaging members and assemblies. Embodiments provide a system and method for efficiently detecting whether materials being used in the imaging members and assemblies are compatible and authentic materials authorized for such uses.
The system and method make use of fluorescent tags to identify a test electrographic material as authentic when the measured emission of fluorescent light from the material meets a predefined criterium at a predetermined wavelength.
