Bright note for colour photocopiers
FIJI’S government has indicated it wwill lift its ban on importing full colour photocopiers in the middle of the year, when new currency notes will be introduced.
In the past the quality reproduction of full-colour photocopiers generated concern over counterfeiting of cur rency. However, the new notes will include security features such as a windowed silver thread weaving through the front left-hand side of the note, and a metallic, fluorescent, ink pattern band at the top and bottom of the left-hand side of the $2O note.
Photocopier suppliers are optimistic
about the market for colour photocopiers once the ban is lifted.
The price could be as little as $lO,OOO to $15,000, compared to $25,000 for bigger black-and-white photocopiers.
Cost per copy is about 10 times the cost of a black and white copy. The market would be bigger companies but they could also end up in shopping centres for personalised printing such as photos, calendars or enlarging slides.□
