The logic is sound. Scanners & copiers import images in CMYK, RGB or grayscale. Printing in Pantone colors creates additional dots when the images are scanned in and destroys native elements.

Inks that react to infrared light in a whole range of different ways, providing a highly secure feature to your card. The ink appears normal to a counterfeiter yet can disappear under an IR light. IR lights are also available for sale.

Using a single printing plate, this highly secure process allows for multiple colors (and blending) to be printed on one press unit. Incredibly destructive to counterfeiting as only a few US plastic card facilities have presses (and pressmen) that have the know-how.

Multiple Laser Image is the newest feature to hit the card market and we are proud to offer it.

Easily verified by users without any tools required, these inks are silkscreened and change colors. Colors available are based on inventory.

Custom user-generated line patterns that create havoc for a counterfeiter (as they have to re-create the pattern & clipping masks). These line segments make up the majority of secure card backgrounds due to the fact that desktop printers cannot image them. PMS colors are a must.

Numismatic “relief” effects are impossible to implement without currency design software. Line work bends into a “relief” that forms an image or letter(s).

Core Watermark. Non-printed technique/feature that requires a counterfeiter to go into card manufacturing to defeat. Not available in Polycarbonate or combined with RFID.

UV has become a defacto standard in the World and is easily compromised via desktop ribbon printers. If you are considering UV, we recommend red or a spit-fountain.

Small text (1pt or smaller) that is often blended into a design. Most microfine printing is not seen with the eye and requires a loupe to authenticate. Loupes are available for sale.

Images, especially the face, should have over-lapping, pre-printed, images. Laser Engraving is optimal but background elements can help protect against photo substitution.

A perfect example of securing images. This concept also cannot be done without expensive currency-grade software. Images should never be printed using dots. This is incredibly hard to counterfeit.
