- 20. Level 1 Security Feature Options • 2-Dimensional Hologram Light diffracting images that exhibit dimensional characteristics. When turned or viewed from a variety of angles, image appears to move or change • Guilloche Security Printing Guilloche patterns combine complex line detail in an animated wave pattern. • Kinetic/Animation Effects Kinetic patterns are a series of complex, straight lines or shapes. As the viewing angle of the card is changed, the kinetic image moves across the card, giving it the effect of motion. • 2-Dimensional Hologram Light diffracting images that exhibit dimensional characteristics.

- 21. Level 1 Security Feature Options cont. • 2-Channel Image (Flip Image) Holographic optical feature that consists of two distinct images (art or text) that occupy the same space within the hologram and then shifts from one image to the second by slightly rotating the angle of the image right to left. • Latent Image (Ghost Image) Holographic optical feature consists of an image (usually a repeating text pattern) that is originated into the hologram so that it only refracts light and is therefore apparent to a viewer at an extreme viewing angle. • Pseudo Color Holographic optical effect that allows for the assignment of approximate coloration to holographic artwork thus the image appears in near "true color" at a specific viewing angle. • 2-Channel Image (Flip Image) Holographic optical feature that consists of two distinct images (art or text) that occupy the same space within the hologram and then shifts from one image to the second by slightly rotating the angle of the image right to left. • Latent Image (Ghost Image) Holographic optical feature consists of an image (usually a repeating text pattern) that is originated into the hologram so that it only refracts light and is therefore apparent to a viewer at an extreme viewing angle. • Pseudo Color Holographic optical effect that allows for the assignment of approximate coloration to holographic artwork thus the image appears in near "true color" at a specific viewing angle.
