Business owners can now put that kind of power right on their countertop at the point of purchase. The DriMark FlashTest uses ink detection technology in addition to two further tests all packed into a powerful countertop device not much larger than a cell phone!
The FlashTest Counterfeit Detector can be used by businesses large and small as a frontline defense against forged currency entering their cash flow. The ink sensor test takes less than a second! Perfect for convenience stores, bars & restaurants, entertainment venues, and even big box retailers, the FlashTest requires almost no training to use and its tests are practically unnoticeable to customers.
