Abstract
Abstract An infrared-absorbing mark printed matter in which an infrared-absorbing mark is formed on a substrate by printing with an ink having high light absorptivity in the infrared region; the infrared-absorbing mark is covered up by smearing with an ink having high light absorptivity in the visible region and pervious to light in the infrared region to form a colored concealing layer; and on the colored concealing layer is formed a white concealing layer by printing with an ink containing a white pigment and an extender pigment of which at least part of the particles are those having an average particle size of 3 to 20 mu m.
