Best Answer

Security ink can be defined as two products. Either a special ink that fluoresces under ultra-violet light (as in most bank-notes) - or 'smart water, which is a quantity of micro-dots contained within a fluid that is brushed onto valuable objects. The micro-dots, containing personal information on the objects owner, are invisible to the naked eye - but can be read under a microscope.
