摘要：

A laser markable document material comprises a binder sensitive to laser energy, a pigment interspersed in the binder, and a document substrate. One example of the pigment is a pearlescent silicate, which has optically varying effects. The binder is applied to the document substrate using a form of printing or other means of applying a coating. This coating provides a first indicia of fixed or variable information, such as the seal of the document issuer or personal information of a document bearer. A laser engraver writes a second indicia into the coating.
