In today’s security-conscious world, protecting your organization with secure ID cards is essential. The Evolis Agilia printer offers cutting-edge UV-enhanced ID printing, providing an additional anti-counterfeiting layer to safeguard credentials. Using ultraviolet light, these UV elements remain invisible under normal lighting but reveal crucial security features, making forgery extremely difficult.
What Is UV-Enhanced ID Printing?
UV-enhanced ID printing integrates invisible security patterns, logos, or marks on ID cards that become visible only under UV light. This technology strengthens card authentication and prevents unauthorized duplication, delivering an advanced layer of protection against counterfeiting and tampering.
