We have synthesized antimony-doped tin oxide (ATO) inks. These inks are invisible in visible light, but recognizable in infrared light and can be used in the anti-counterfeiting. These inks were successfully adapted for digital printing by inkjet method. By changing the ATO concentration in the inks, it is possible to control invisibility in visible light and ease of recognition in near-infrared light.
