Infosafe protecting artwork

InfoSafe recently developed a security system to protect from fraud a limited edition print run of a painting by Scottish artist Peter Howson of the former Celtic footballer Henrik Larsson. The prints, produced by Howson for a Scottish charity, The Third Step, were each allocated a ticket containing a registration number that is covered by a removable sealing strip. Similar to a PIN allocation, the print’s buyer peels away the protecting strip to reveal the unique number that is registered against the buyer’s name, thus successfully preventing fraudulent prints from being produced for the black market.
