NOCOPI TECHNOLOGIES, INC. Signs 4 Year Extension for an Exclusive License
Agreement with Computer Imaging Supplies (CIS), a Division of Nashua
Corporation.


         West Conshohocken, Pa. April 18, 2002 - PRNewswire. Nocopi
Technologies, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: NNUP), a well-known company in the
business of developing solutions against counterfeiting, product diversion,
document security, and authentication via patented technologies (including
invisible inks, color changing inks, reactive thread and document security paper
products), is pleased to announce the extension of a 4 year exclusive license
agreement in the arena of Secure Retail Cash Register Receipts.

         NoCopi Technologies, Inc. has enjoyed a long-term relationship with
Computer Imaging Supplies, a firm dedicated to the promotion and sale of secure
ink technologies and implementations. CIS recently announced the sale of their
firm to Nashua Corporation, (NYSE: NSH) and the subsequent creation of a new
Security Group Division within Nashua Corporation to be headed by the President
of CIS, Peter Morello.

         Based upon the sales growth related to the existing contract with CIS,
NoCopi Technologies extended the license contract to a term of 4 years and
allowed the new owners, Nashua Corporation, to retain the rights to sell the
NoCopi solutions. As part of the license agreement, the newly formed division of
Nashua is expected to meet yearly sales goals in exchange for market exclusivity
in the application of Rub & Reveal inks on secure retail cash register receipts
in United States of America. To date, CIS has annually doubled sales of the Rub
& Reveal ink solution for each year of the contract.

         "NoCopi Technologies is excited by the continued year after year
success of our partnership with CIS. We look forward to the opportunities and
resources that Nashua brings to the table and our mutual growth plans in this
market space. In addition to expanding the market presence of our patent
protected inks, our relationship with CIS, and in the future, Nashua
Corporation, has been mutually beneficial in terms of real business realized and
expansion into new vertical applications for our technologies," said Brent
Earlewine, VP of Worldwide Sales for NoCopi.



         Each year, NoCopi Technologies and CIS have engaged in joint promotion
of the secure cash register receipt solution (marketed under the name of Scratch
& Secure by CIS) at two main industry trade shows as well as in print
publication advertisements. The Scratch & Secure solution is sold to several
leading national retail companies to help alleviate cash register receipt fraud.

         In related news, NoCopi Technologies has successfully launched a new
sales initiative called the "Silent Witness" Document Security Dealer program.
This program allows for the resale of NoCopi's patented security paper products
through a national network of independent office supplies dealers and
distributors. This initiative is one of several aimed at revitalizing the
company's sales efforts.

         Other business growth efforts completed by NoCopi include the hiring of
sales agents in major markets across the US - Chicago IL, Orlando FL &
Pittsburgh PA. Each sales agent will be focused on specific territory and
vertical market accounts.

Computer Imaging Supplies, a division of Nashua Corporation, is headquartered in
Plymouth, MA and is in the business of providing secure retail cash register
receipt solutions, document security products and printing supplies.

NoCopi Technologies, Inc. was founded in 1984 and is based in West Conshohocken,
Pennsylvania. The Company is engaged in the business of developing solutions
against counterfeiting and product diversion, and for document security and
authentication via patented technologies (including invisible inks, color
changing inks, reactive thread and document security paper products).
