Improving Contrast in Print OCR with IR Imaging

In the original image, a white backlight is used without a filter. When a MidOpt® BP850 Near-IR Bandpass Filter is placed over the lens and used with an IR backlight, the filter blocks the visible portion of the spectrum but passes only the ink illuminated by the output wavelength of the IR backlight. This makes the invisible print visible and also creates optimal contrast.
