Security Document Design Security Document Design Fortuna Fortuna is a revolutionary digital design and assembly system for security printing, entirely conceived and realized by Barco Graphics. More than 50 customers worldwide are now using the Fortuna software to create their banknotes, passports, bonds, shares, certificates and other security documents. Fortuna was originally developed to replace traditional labor-intensive, mechanical pattern generation devices, such as guilloche and relief machines. Now, the Fortuna system goes far beyond the limitations imposed by mechanical devices.
Designers can develop ever more secure elements in the creation of highly complex designs.
The digital design process facilitates experimentation since additions are easily duplicated, modified, compared, or undone. Fortuna is currently the only fully digital system that encompasses the complete workflow from initial concepts to final prepress production on a single platform. This ensures great flexibility in design, and allows ultimate control over quality, integrity and security. Although Fortuna provides a very comprehensive range of design tools, externally generated data or original artwork is easily included into security designs. The wide range of input file formats supported by Fortuna includes proprietary and industry standard formats used by all major high-end design and prepress systems, together with PostScript from virtually any desktop application.
