The word "void" is hidden within a screened pantograph on a check, or in another screened area on a negotiable document. The word "void" is made up of varying dot or line sizes, different from the balance of the pantograph or screened area. This will allow "void" to show when photocopied, although the results vary from copier to copier. The void must be requested and a small upcharge applies.

DISCLAIMER: Although we have implemented precise operating procedures to consistently reproduce the void features, we must impress upon our customers, we are unable to guarantee this feature to be equally prominent on all copier brands or models. Though we have performed rigorous in-house testing on various pantographs and void patterns, we must stress this does not prove that the "void" will appear equally prevalent on all copiers.
