Security Challenge by Noodler’s Black™ and Polar Blue to the World of Forgers and Identity Thieves!

Last Updated: December, 2006

Noodler’s Ink is offering a $4,000 reward/prize to the first person who can safely remove “Noodler’s Black™” or Polar Blue ink from a security bank check (watermarks, numbered signature line, all standard security features present, standard check paper containing no gloss or polymer coatings, no plastic or wax content!). The ink must first be permitted to dry completely upon the cellulose based check paper, then the ink must be completely removed without altering the paper or its security features such as watermarks.

As many people know, ball pen ink and many roller ball and fountain pen inks can be removed through the use of alcohols/acetone and carpet stain removers respectively. Noodler’s Black™ and Polar Blue ink cannot be removed in this manner. If you can figure out how to remove it without voiding/altering the security features of the check, and do so before anyone else, then the prize is yours.

However, you must disclose how you did it in detail to the company: The process must be duplicable on standard checks repeatedly, including on cellulose standard security checks, made by Harland Inc., provided by the company as a final test. This is to exclude checks people print on plastic sheets, plastic or polymer paper composites and other such possibilities; Noodler’s Black™ and Polar Blue washes off plastic with tap water. This information is desired in the company’s quest to make Noodler’s Black™ and Polar Blue ink the most forgery and fraud resistant ink in the world.

If nobody is able to safely remove Noodler’s Black™ or Polar Blue ink from a security check, as explained above, by November of the following year, the prize will increase by another $1,000; it will continue to increase each November until it is claimed — if ever.
