When the California ID's changed in 2009, did they stop using TXP? If they are still using TXP, how many mils would be most ideal? Would the 10 mil TXP here work? -Thanx

Try two part epoxy to glue the VHS tape to the pouch...it's kind of messy to work with but it bonds just about anything. By the way...that VHS tape is a good idea if you don't have pouches with magstripes!! Nice work... | | Txp??? | |

About the Cali ID's...no they do not use TXP anymore. In late 2006/2007 they switched to a plain matte finish laminate (didn't have the same texture as TXP but looked almost the same) and in 2009 (I just received my 2009 DL about three months ago) they went to a completely GLOSSY laminate that is just a hair thinner than the TXP. If I had to guess, I'd say the difference is about 2 or 3 mils thinner total. So if you're using 8 - 10 mil teslin for the inner material, I'd go with a 7 mil glossy for front and back. I tried a 6 mil print film (made by Alps) and a 7 mil pouch and the finished product had a nice "snap" to it, but it was visibly too thin. 10 mil teslin and 7 mil pouches give it the right "feel" and thickness in my opinion. If you use a thickness gauge to measure a real Cali ID, it should be around 25 to 27 mils thick, depending on the issue date of the ID...before 2006 they are about 27 mils but the newest ones (with the Glossy laminate) are closer to 25 mils.

I'm looking for templates from New York, Maine and Mass. If you have them please pm me.
Also When printing on an 8 up teslin I can't seem to get the alignment right- It will print over the perforation, any suggestions and/or tips?
Thanks in advance |

If I were to setup a website and sell "novelty ID's" the came with a big warning novelty sticker on the front stating that removing this sticker may be considered illegal etc.. Could i get an trouble even with the disclaimer/warning sticker.? |

Yes, you can get in trouble!! Any time you make an EXACT duplicate of any State or Federal government document without permission it is considered fraud/counterfeiting. So by duplicating the hologram, or the "seal" or image of the state or any type of "anti-counterfeiting" features you are actually committing a crime...I don't know where people get the idea that just by putting a "disclaimer" on something that it becomes legal. Using that logic, I could sell CRACK if put a warning label on it!! ha ha ha |

actually cali still does use TXP. Its just this year they jumped down to about 8.5mil TXP as opposed to the usual 10mil.
The lam also seems to conform to the numbers, which gives them an embossed look on the lam when tilted to the light

I am having trouble making a stamp for the hologram. I have followed all the stamp kit steps, but I get 1 of 2 problems: 1. when I go to rinse everything is liquid or 2. when I go to rinse its slightly hardened but its the outline of the special paper not the stamp. Anyone have any suggestions? | | alps md-5000 xp drivers ? | |

I notice there are few back templates, the vast majority being front templates. Why is this? Is the back the same virtually everywhere? |

Would you happen to know exactly where to get the best UV inks for CA that don't fade?
To make the CA UV, I plan on getting an epson R280 (will double as a pvc card printer) with a cis system, filling the cartridges with UV ink and printing directly onto the teslin after I print the template on of course. I read somewhere on the this gigantic thread that applying UV powders via the alps method is not as effective as it leaves a ghost image of the UV design. If their is a better method to do this please share.
Thanks | | | |

You make it sound like I'm some kind of con man or something, which is not true at all. I ran a stand up supply store for several years, and had many loyal customers who were never let down. Then one day, unexpectedly, I went to jail on a drug possession charge. I ended up staying in there and executing my sentence, which meant that the last few pending paid orders were not shipped because I physically could not do so. Then all it took was for one of those last several patrons who received or heard nothing from me to get furious (and I can hardly blame them) and make several user accounts to effectively tarnish my reputation all over the WWW, and now I'm labeled a con man. Sweet.
Anyway, after I got out I took some time off and cleaned myself up. Then I tried some other means of employment. But I love being a specialty art supply salesman, about as much as I hate having a boss, and I missed my shop. Thus, I decided to reopen.
So to answer your question..'Yes' I'm back,'Yes' I'm 100% legit, and I'm caught up on all of my current orders. And like spunone69 said below your quoted post: If I were ripping people off now, there would be a shit storm of angry people posting up Perf hate immediately following this very post. But there wont be.
If you still have any doubts, send $5 for shipping to my paypal account (funderooz@hotmail.com) and I'll send you an assortment of sample products.
Anyway, thanks for your time. I look forward to filling your order.
Cheers'
Perf

Regarding the UV...I have not tried applying the UV powders with the Alps method. I plan on attempting it eventually, I just don't have the time right now. Believe it or not, the ID's are just a hobby of mine now...I have a (more than) full time job that I enjoy doing. I used to get HP45 UV cartridges from holosupplies.com, but his are neither cheap nor pre-tested. If you read the info about UV inks on perf's site it explains how he pre-tested and tried them many different ways to get the best results from the HP45 refill cartridges. Perf sounds more knowledgeable and he seems to have done his homework...check out both sites and decide for yourself!! |

Hey bombshock, I've decided to finally make an account on the forum after a while of just spectating. Hopefully I'll be able to learn more, and help out wherever possible now.
First up, would anyone be able to set me up with a Victorian license template (Australia). I'm actually working on one at the moment, not long until I have finished now. But wouldn't mind another copy, might be better quality (probably).
If I can't find another template, give us a shout if you're interested in mine.
+ just to share something, instead of just taking...
here's a direct link to the Ultimate Fake ID Guide v3 (2009): MEGAUPLOAD - The leading online storage and file delivery service

Someone above stated that CA still uses TXP...this is false!! I just received my 2009 DL about three months ago, it's completely glossy. Unless TXP has a gloss laminate (which I have never heard of) then they are not using it anymore. And the reason the lettering looks "embossed" is because its printed on the teslin with dye-sub ink which actually adheres to the front of the media (it's a ribbon) so when it's laminated with pressure rollers, it "raises" slightly into the lamination. I'm not trying to "flame" anyone, just pointing out the error... |

Yes, Billy, you are correct! I purchased a bunch of "glossy" 7mil pouches from BrainStorm and they are a bit glossier than my REAL CA ID...I also purchased some of the 10mil matte finish pouches and they are more "matte" finished than the old CA ID's...it's kind of like being stuck in the middle!! Ones a little too glossy, the other a little too matte!! If you use the glossy pouches and "scuff" up the finished product to give it a little "wear and tear" you can get a VERY passable result. |
