Sun Chemical and Graphic Security Systems Corporation Sign License Agreement

LAKE WORTH, Florida, January 25 - Graphic Security Systems Corporation (GSSC) and Sun Chemical have signed
a license agreement that utilizes Sun Chemical's proprietary security
solutions with GSSC's technologies, expanding capabilities to authenticate
branded consumer products and increase protection levels against
counterfeiters.

"Brand owners and consumers are increasingly concerned about the security
of critical supply chains," said Jim Reiman, Director of Sales for Sun
Chemical's Brand Protection business. "Those particularly at risk include
products such as pharma, cosmetics, personal care, distilled spirits,
tobacco, etc. There are very few other industries untouched by
counterfeiting, adulteration, diversion and tampering. Our partnership with
GSSC and the utilization of their patented encoding and authentication
processes will further improve security options for our customers."

"This alliance brings much more than technology," said Scott Perkins,
Chief Operating Officer, GSSC. "Our service and the integrity of our products
are now further expanded on a global scale and we look forward to working
with the entire Sun Chemical team to achieve mutual goals."

Sun Chemical's Verigard security product is a proprietary
machine-readable covert taggant system used to protect some of the world's
most recognized consumer products from counterfeiting and diversion. Verigard
is Sun Chemical's highest level security system and authenticity is ensured
by using the V400 handheld reader. Other innovative covert, machine readable
authentication products are available such as inks or coatings to address
counterfeit, diversion and smuggling issues. Products yield a distinct
"signature" and are detected by a small reading device.

"GSSC and their enhanced portfolio of patented products and technologies
are unmatched in the industry," Reiman said. "They have an extraordinary
technical team and we look forward to a successful partnership with them in
the future."
