14 All color separations, plates and other materials submitted to or produced by the Contractor in fulfillment of this agreement must become the property of the State and be returned to the Department of State within thirty (30) calendar days after completion of the final press run or upon completion of the Contract. In addition, the Contractor must assist the agency in preparations and layout when requested to do so at no charge to the State. Presswork shall not be done until approval of stock is obtained.

Security Features The following features must be contained in the Certificates of Title on standard 24# bond paper stock: Paper Stock: 24# Bond Standard Paper The safety paper must contain an artificial watermark made into the paper.

Once accepted, any changes made to the paper must receive prior approval from the Department of State. Thermochromic Inks The backside of the Certificates must contain a stripe printed with thermochromic ink along each vertical edge of the Certificate. The vertical stripe must run the full length of the Certificate and must be no less than 3/16 and no more than 5/16 in width. The vertical stripe must appear in such a manner that it does not obstruct any printed area on the Certificates of Title. The vertical stripe must contain an alternating pattern consisting of the State logo and the word Michigan visible to the human eye. Micro-printing/Custom Screen Halftone Printing an image that appears as a solid line until viewed under magnification. The front side of the certificates must contain an image of the state seal.

Retention Agent A retention agent must be applied to the back and face of the document. This retention agent must affix dyes and make most pen inks very difficult to remove because the agent binds the pen ink to the paper fiber. Fluorescent Ink Watermarks The ink on the back and face of the document must fluoresce under a black or ultraviolet light. The pattern must be a State logo, one line consisting of an outline of the State with the word Michigan printed upside down and the next line consisting of the word Michigan with the outline of the State printed upside down.

The background colors on the Certificates of Title must blend together vertically within the pantograph pattern. 14

15 Dual Image Numbering The consecutive control number printed on the face of the Certificates of Title must be printed with a penetrating red dye that will penetrate through the paper fibers and make a reverse mirror image of the number visible on the back of the document. When viewed from the front, the number must create a slightly red halo around the number printed in black ink.
