Abstract

Techniques to render documents and like objects uncopyable by photocopy means. Illumination spectral composition, object background color, and photoreceptor sensitivity are appropriately combined such that the photoreceptor perceives no object contrast. The result may be either a blackout or a whiteout of the object information.
