KINEGRAM HDM

KINEGRAM HDM (High Definition Metallization) is an advanced optically variable security feature developed by KURZ that delivers exceptionally detailed and visually striking effects for banknote protection.

The technology achieves unprecedented resolution and precision in metallic holographic features, creating intricate patterns, images, and text with extraordinary clarity and sharpness. HDM enables the production of highly detailed micro-structures that generate complex light effects, including precise color transitions, three-dimensional depth, and dynamic movement when the banknote is tilted or viewed from different angles.

The high-definition capabilities allow for sophisticated design possibilities, including fine-line details, tiny text elements, and intricate pictorial content that would be virtually impossible to replicate using conventional counterfeiting methods. The metallic nature of the feature creates brilliant reflectivity and contrast that makes authentication straightforward for the public while embedding multiple layers of security for expert examination.

KINEGRAM HDM can be applied as security threads, foil patches, or stripes, integrating seamlessly into banknote design while providing robust protection. The technology supports customization of patterns, imagery, and optical effects to match a central bank's specific security and aesthetic requirements.

The feature excels at combining public accessibility with technical sophistication—the striking visual effects are immediately recognizable to everyday users, while the precision and complexity of the micro-structures provide forensic-level security characteristics for professional authentication. This dual-level protection makes HDM particularly effective in combating both casual counterfeiting attempts and more sophisticated reproduction efforts.
