How to Keep Your Documents Secure For Life


Organisations around the world are mindful of print security. That’s good. However, most people don’t think about securing a document after it’s collected from the printer.

Here at Key Digital, the lifetime of a document is at the front of our minds. That’s why we have watermarking technology built right in to our solutions.

Watermarks! YUK! I don’t want one of those plastered across my documents! But hang on… Most people think of watermarks as that massive line of text going diagonally right across the page. And, I’d agree, they’re pretty ugly!

How about a discrete line of text in the footer that reminds the user who prints the document that it’s their responsibility to look after it? A simple line of text that gives you – the administrator – the opportunity to trace the document back if it’s left lying around.

That’s where our Digital Signatures can help. Built into our software solutions, our digital signatures function creates a unique alpha-numeric code and places it on the printed document.

In this example, you can see the user who printed the document, reminding them that they’re responsible for protecting the document. Plus, there’s a unique code that can be traced by the administrator.

So there you have it – secure from the moment you decide to press print, to the moment you decide to recycle your document (and beyond).
