Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2021083951A1] The invention concerns a method for verifying a document. The method comprises: - receiving (302) a document (500, 700) having a document body (506) with an inkjet print of an image (502, 600) by means of a testing unit (800). The image contains first regions (414.1, 414.2) that contain inkjet droplets of a dye-based ink (216) and second regions (412.1, 412.2) that contain a pigment-based ink (214). The first regions are free of the pigment-based ink and the second regions are free of the dye-based ink. The pigment-based ink is not distinguishable from the dye-based ink under visible light. - recording (304) a test image portraying at least the inkjet print (502); - performing (306) an image analysis comprising: · capturing (308) the morphology of the inkjet droplets; and · reconstructing (310) a digital graphical pattern (404) from the test image on the basis of the droplet morphology; - comparing (312) the reconstructed graphical pattern with a reference value in order to verify the authenticity of the document.
