Hologram printing is a security measure that improves the level of counterfeit protection and increases the lifetime of your card. This procedure, which once used to be slow, costly and complex, is becoming significantly faster and cost-effective owing to modern industrial printers. Matica EDIsecure Inline Lamination Modules work with both conventional and holographic lamination to meet all your needs.
Unlike the ILM-DS model, which is a strong module for double-sided lamination, the ILM-LS lamination machine is capable of one-sided lamination at high speed. Both modules, the ILM-LS with a speed of 16 seconds per card (single-sided) and the ILM-DS with a speed of 30 seconds per card (double-sided), are the fastest laminating modules on the market.
Both devices rely on heat and pressure to bond the transparent film to the card surface, which can be transparent, opaque or holographic (3D) according to your needs. In addition, these models are able to produce tamper-resistant cards. Matica EDIsecure inline lamination modules can be seamlessly added to regular ID card printers. For example, this module can be easily added to the XID8300 indirect printer via an appropriate joining plate. Compact dimensions and the availability of single or double sided models offer you additional flexibility to match your budget and requirements.
How the hologram printer works:
The lamination modules can be utilized in two ways: 1) installed next to the card printer like the XID8300 Retransfer Printer, or 2) separated from ILM-LS .
Using this printing technique, the two-dimensional image looks three-dimensional depending on how the light shines on the hologram. Since it is not yet possible to create a true 3D image on flat surfaces, industrial hologram printing still relies on a holographic layer, which is thermally bonded to the card surface. In these printers, pre-designed holograms( such as Matica’s EDIsecure ribbons) and customized holograms can be used.
Maximizing the level of protection against counterfeiting with hologram printers:
It is no coincidence that custom holograms have found widespread use in sensitive documents such as employee and security badges, debit cards, and credit cards. Also, government documents such as driver’s licenses, national IDs, and passports also rely on holographic printing to protect documents from illegal copying. In addition, conventional printing methods, such as simple photocopying or printing, do not perform as effectively as a holographic printer.
The process of reproducing and forging a hologram without reference to the original hologram is very difficult. Therefore, reproduced holograms are often easily recognizable, and experts are usually able to identify a counterfeit with the naked eye. In general, holographic printing is both visually impressive and a reliable method to prevent counterfeiting.
