I didn't find any on ebay either but keep looking...

[mkone]

are there any newbies out there who need to make an Id but have limited resources or knowledge, Well if you live around NJ or NY I think we can pool together our talents and create our novelty ID. PM me if anyone is interested

Hey, does anyone have a Kansas template? Also, does anyone use an actual ID printer rather than an inkjet? I was looking at used Fargo printers on Ebay and wondered if anything awesome could be had for under a grand. Basically I don't really know much about Fake ID's other than all the online stores are scams. If I bought a Fargo like this :

Fargo ProL Duplex ID Card Printing System FREE SHIPPING - eBay (item 250281508810 end time Aug-18-08 08:13:43 PDT)

and Photoshop, could I make a Kansas DL identical to one issued by my DMV?
I don't know what I'm doing but I am willing to spend some money if i can get a sure fire ID. Also, i do not know if anyone around here swipes but what exactly is on the barcode? Is it just your birthday or some sort of reference to your identity that is checked against a database?

[declined]

I am now looking at making my ID's scannable, I have a good novelty ID that scans so I am wondering if I get an encoder and scan in the existing ID if I could pull the data off of the card and rewrite it to a new card? is the data encrypted? does it need to be changed for each ID? i.e name etc?

Also what software/hardware combination would I need to acquire in order to do this? Any help on the mag strip would be greatly appreciated

I have read every single post in this thread, and I have really tried to figure this out on my own, but haven't seem to find a way to get the texas dl capital right. I mean how are people finding a capitol picture that looks just like the real thing. I've heard that some people have actually been able to get ahold of the actually dl template from the dmv. Idk, that is the only way I would think that someone could get the capitol building right. Anyone have any suggestions? I'm not asking for a template or anything, I know how much work goes into them and that people don't like just handing out their hard work.

I don't know, I guess try and find a picture, or somehow extract it from the ID itself in photoshop and then editing it

I've searched for a while now, and the thing is the picture has a unique angle and shadowing to it that none of the other pictures on the internet have. Also it is halftoned, so if i try to either "heal brush" it or, anything of that sorts, the picture gets parts where the halftone circles don't like up right, and it is very obvious that it was modified.

my texas has an overlay over the capital thats labeled fake laser. Which sort of pixalates the image

[blackrose85]

Hi, I am new to this forum and the whole fake id business, and I was wondering if anyone could give me a template. I can see how much time you guys put into making these templates, so I completely understand if you don’t want to give me a template. Also I have a bunch of templates that I made by editing templates that I found online, but there old, outdated, and they basically suck compared to the templates that you guys are producing. So if anyone wants those they can have them.
Any template would be appreciated.
Thank you

quick question:

Does mixing colors work with UV inks? For example, mix red and blue and get purple?

[caliid2006]

Yes...with most good UV inks.

I'm talking about the actual picture of the capitol, below the "fake laser" layer. I don't know how to find a good one of those, because I've seen one around, but if you compare it to the real tx id, you can tell that it isn't the same picture that is on the real id.

Were do you get your ink? Iv ordered from various places and the UV seems to faded within a week or so.

I'm having the same fading issues so a recommendation on where to get good ink and which one would be great.

I have heard that it is a bad idea to mess with the 8-up artisyn sheets, has anyone had any success with the 8-up sheets and if not what ones have you had success with the 6-up sheets or any other perforated sheets of artisyn?


thanks for all the help

Don't use any ups. Too hard to line up. Get full blank Artisyn sheets, then die cut. If you can't afford a die cutter, get the 1-up sheets with the card in the center and then just use the 'center image' option before you print and it should line up.

If you really want to use 2,6, or 8-ups make sure it comes with the instruction paper with the margins on it. I don't know if Artisyn comes with it but I know teslin does. Even so, it's still hard to line it up, and not worth the trouble.

[purplecheeser]

Or if you want to get more for your money one artisyn, cut 3.5"x5" rectangles of artisyn, you can get 5 per sheet. Epsons have a 3.5"x5" setting so you can just center the image with that size sheet, and it would come out perfectly.


Does anyone know is tenslin and artisyn are exactly the same color? Or is tenslin have a slight tint compared to artisyn? I look at the back of CA and the paper is a little more tinted compared to my artisyn

[declined]

double that question,


which is better to use for CA, teslin or artisyn

thanks

[caliid2006]

Artisyn is better in every way, and especially if you are using a laser printer. The colors come out much more brilliant.

The tint you are seeing is on the real card is not from the print medium, it is from the TXP.

@Caliid2006

[purplecheeser]

I got a kansas template pm me if u want it

[caliid2006]

Your guess is as good as mine. All the good suppliers no longer exist. I luckily bought loads of the stuff as I speculated these good sources would disappear.

[gunitwhoop]

Ive been experimenting with risk reactor IFPAP invisible uv ink. Have yet to find a method that will work. I am thinking i am probably using the wrong stuff and am gonna switch to pigment uv powder next. any suggestions?

[purplecheeser]

Damn. Im thinking about those HP UV inks, but their a whopping 230$ per cartridge. But I mean it would have to be quality I think if its that much.

[Spider]

I have several scans of I.D.'s and can't figure out how to add text layers to it in photoshop. Can anyone help me out?

[caliid2006]

Pigment will work on a card that indeed uses pigment (such as Texas) but just wont work for a card that doesn't (California). Pigment looks like pigment, and ink looks like ink, so you really need to use which your particular card uses.

So CA UV is ink. I ask other makers in my area but everyone is so damn greedy with their information.

But what I was thinking was using those continuous Ink cartridges : Epson R800 / R1800 Continuous Ink System with UV INK :. Catalog :. Fillserv

and just experimenting with different UV inks, just putting them in the reservoir. I'm waiting for this guy to let me know how the ink from risk reactor works, and I'm thinking about ordering some Ink from Fake-Proof. I don't know if anyone has had experience with them, but if anyone has come across some really good ink don't hesitate to help some of us out.

[richierichtx]

I was wondering. Why don't we have some kind of ftp site or something. Where people can voluntarily submit work to share with others. I understand the biggest dilemma would be that no one wants to give up their work that they've spent so much time on, to all the people who will just leach off of the hard workers, and give nothing in return. Many some kind of system can be set up, to where you have to contribute in order to gain access. I am mentioning this for two reasons. First, the way a community becomes more complex, is through the development of more non-zero-sum events. (for those of you not familiar with Game theory, non-zero-sum events, are things in which multiple parties benefit, instead of only one person benefiting. ex: A fishing crew working together to catch lots of fish, vs. a single person catching a couple)

My other reason is because it would very much help people looking for things like scans and holo layers. little bits and pieces that really help the process, and make it possible for them to create something to contribute.

This is just an idea, and I understand that people don't want to get leached off of. I feel though that it could greatly benefit the community, if people contribute, and it is organized and managed well.

[caliid2006]

I think you are thinking of "synergy" rather so much than game theory, but I think thats a pretty cool idea.

Risk reactor inks don't work well with refillable or continuous ink carts. They will clog the print head and just piss you off. In the past I have gotten them to work briefly, and then clog the head after a few prints. What you can do is use their dyes, and use the correct solvents etc. to make your own ink, but this is probably very difficult and complex.

Fake-proof inks fade real, real fast, and are not bright to begin with. Thats why they are so cheap. But maybe you could double or triple layer them? Just a thought.
