In a world where ID fraud and counterfeiting are growing threats, standard ID cards printed directly onto the plastic are insufficient. Today's government agencies, corporate headquarters, and high security facilities require the highest grade of secure ID printing.
The solution lies in a two-part security upgrade: first, utilising a Retransfer ID Cards printer like the Evolis Agilia, and second, incorporating advanced visual countermeasures like Holographic Patches. Together, they create an ID card that is virtually impossible to duplicate.
The Power of Retransfer Printing with Evolis Agilia
The Evolis Agilia utilises retransfer technology, which prints the image onto a film first and then heat rolls the film onto the card's surface. This process creates true, edge-to-edge printing and a highly durable, brilliant finish. The Evolis site confirms the Evolis Agilia's retransfer technology delivers the "highest print quality and security for all your cards." Crucially, this printing method creates the ideal surface for applying a security patch.
The Crucial Layer: Evolis Holographic Patches
The Evolis website confirms that a Lamination Module is available as an option on the Evolis Agilia, which is essential for applying security overlays. Holographic Patches are transparent overlays applied to the finished card surface. They offer non-reversible, immediate visual authentication:
-
Visual Deterrence: The 3D holographic effect cannot be copied by standard office equipment or even most professional printers.
-
Tamper Evidence: Any attempt to peel the patch off damages the patch and the card image beneath it, leaving clear evidence of tampering.
-
Durability and Longevity: The patch seals the card surface, protecting the printed image from fading, abrasion, and daily wear, ensuring the card's viability for up to ten years.
By utilising the Evolis Agilia to print Retransfer ID Cards and applying Holographic Patches, your organisation achieves a gold standard in card security, safeguarding staff, assets, and data against unauthorised access.
