Rochester, NY -- Document Security Systems, Inc. (AMEX: DMC) and Boise White Paper L.L.C., a subsidiary of Boise Cascade L.L.C., have agreed in principle to join forces to launch a new line of high-quality security papers for general office use. Document Security Systems? President and CEO Patrick White said that an initial order under this agreement has been received and the product has been shipped. "This is a milestone in the history of Document Security Systems," said Mr. White. "We are confident that the combination of our state-of-the-art security technologies and Boise?s distribution and marketing capabilities will now demonstrate to end-users the wide-ranging applications of our security papers."
The new security papers, called Boise BEWARE? Security Papers, are organized into various end-use categories, including Legal, Health Care, and Business. The papers allow individuals to print original documents with the confidence that unauthorized copies cannot be made. Documents printed on Boise BEWARE? Security Papers will reveal a hidden word when scanned, copied or faxed.
"This technology is superior to other products on the market that have not kept pace with the evolution of office equipment, rendering their products substantially less effective on copiers and totally ineffective on most scanners or fax machines," said Patrick White. According to Rob Sommer, Vice-President of Office Papers for Boise, ?The agreement between these two companies combines cutting-edge, patent-protected technology and strong sales, marketing and distribution. Boise BEWARE? is another example of how Boise provides innovative solutions which help our customers face their everyday challenges.?
Document Security Systems, Inc. brings to the alliance their patent-pending AuthentiGuard 4000 technology that is effective on scanners, copiers and fax machines in the marketplace. "The alliance between Document Security Systems and Boise will allow us to provide affordable document security to individuals, businesses and government entities, including homeland security agencies, that never had access to such state-of-the-art technology before," said Patrick White. ?Our technology is the most effective security paper solution available, and Boise''s strong brand, their industry-leading product line, and end-customer knowledge add enormous credibility to the technologies we have worked to develop."
"An important element of the alliance between our two companies is our commitment to have Boise BEWARE? Security Papers keep pace as technology evolves," Rob Sommer said. "Competing products have not changed in years. Not only is the technology in Boise BEWARE? Security Papers superior today, it will keep pace as scanners and copiers improve and change in the future."
"By joining forces with Document Security Systems," said Boise''s Rob Sommer, "Boise is taking another step toward our vision of being the preferred office paper provider to our customers."
