there was some talk before about the epson R series and its ability to micro print. having thoroughly tested the r800 i can say it's not so good. they put print speed above print quality and although you get very nice prints very quickly, to say that they can micro print is a bit of a stretch. it also makes too many mistakes, is not consistent, which is incredibly annoying.
also, i find perf's 5mm satin > TK KRTY
does anyone have any information on the print quality of dye sublimination? Particularly the Olympus P 400 Printer and Kodak 1400 Professional Printer?
for anyone who cares (it's the latest edition): http://www.aamva.org/NR/rdonlyres/66...pecV2FINAL.pdf

it's a guide to UV printing, everything you need to know. but prepare to enter study mode and to learn some new vocabulary.
AND as far as hologram companies go, how about these two? http://www.holostik.com/products.html - their Holographic Hot Stamping Foil and Holographic Transparent Laminate products look promising. http://www.hologramholography.com/Artwork.htm  |  |

Be careful when dealing with Holostik as they are HoMAI credited. If they truly follow HoMAI standards the FEDs may be showing up at your door.

yeah, i agree when you say that dealing with Holostik is more dangerous, but they seem to make a serious and quality product. and HoMAI stands for Hologram Manufacturers Association of India. when it comes to manufacturing, India doesn't exactly have the most stringent policies. and for a "perfect" hologram, maybe it's worth it. http://www.homai.org/ - here's the website, they only talk about counterfitting brand names (like those holograms on microsoft products) but again, more risk better quality. the website is set up using a blog website template. |

Usually offset press. You can usually simulate microprint by printing a little larger than the real deal.

don't use laser, it's traceable. newer inkjet printers will print on laser teslin and the inks are able to achieve better colors.
Dye-sublimation is a very different form of printing. It is a continous tone, thermal (heat) transfer process. Final pass applies a clear, water resistant finish to the surface. Longevity is reported much better the common ink jet.
Someone has told me, "They have been excellent performers for the last 4 years. I've run literally thousnads of prints through them. An occasional mis-feed, but NO technical problems."
I haven't been able to find out how well they handle microprinting yet. http://www.hitouchimaging.com/ offers a service that allows you to request a sample photo. |

I also believe some inkjets have the possibility to be traced. Doesn't matter anyway, you should never buy anything with your name. No extended warranties, registrations, technical support, paying with a credit card. Dye sub can be a pain in the ass if you mishandle the paper. Other than that only had a ribbon break a couple times, but thats no big deal.

Hello everyone.
I have been making really terrible fakes around campus for a while now. However, I am really trying to fix my own up and make it the best I can. I am basically working with a modified scan of my old TX license and I am looking for some tips from people who happen to know a little more about TX cards than me.
I have been printing on Teslin and using crappy store bought laminate. I was told that TXP was what is actually used, but I was thinking about ordering some of Perf’s Trans Kote Nylon. Is that a good substitute for the TXP?
I have been using Pearl-Ex interference gold for the holo. I have been applying with a custom made rubber stamp (I know kinda hokie method, but the effect isn't too bad). I have been applying it dry by just dipping the stamp into the powder and putting right on the printed Teslin and then laminating. However, now I want to add the UV green to it. I have some Invisible UV Green powder from risk reactor. Will dry mixing with the Pearl-Ex work or will it screw up the effect? What is the best way to achieve this effect using the stamp method?
Since I can’t afford a die cutter, I have to cut everything by hand. What is the best way to do that? I have a handheld 1/8” corner rounder so that helps a little. I am thinking a paper trimmer/cutter (guillotine style), but I don’t know how accurate it is. Anyone with experience?
I have a Hi-Co card writer/encoder that I am going to use to encode it. Once I get it all spiffy. My plan is just scan my old ID, change the changed info and write it to the new card.
I also might be interested in a TX template if anyone happens to have one for a good price.
Thanks in advance ya’ll. | | | | |

Trans Kote Nylon is a decent substitute for TXP.
Using the stamp method I'd try mixing the powders together since your more likely to fuckup two stamps rather than one.
I'd forget about the the paper cutter. You should be able to afford a die cutter after selling less than 5 novs. What I used to do is trace a credit card to cut out the laminate. Then I would align the back to where I wanted it and then laminate the back. Afterwards I would trim any excess telsin with a X-acto knife so the laminate would be the exact size as the telsin. Then I would align the front up and laminate again. Then I would remove any excess telsin with a X-acto knife/nail clippers. Then I would sand the edges with 600 grit sandpaper. After that I would finish off the edges with 1200 grit sandpaper.

Thanks!
Does that risk bubbling the first side of lamination when you laminate it again?
And I have an inkjet photo printer. I have only used inkjet teslin but I have heard that laser teslin might also work well. Any experience?
I also am working on creating the GA hologram. Anyone have a good picture of the hologram? Also, does the GA id have a clear self-adhesive "sticker" over the top of it? I am not sure of exactly what it looks like. |

The risk reactor green mixed with brilliant gold pearl ex works great for Texas. The best cheapo inkjet printer for laser teslin is the epson c88-- colors look good.
Ga has a "sticker" type hologram as you say, as do any IDs on PVC. You can however use pearl ex on a laminate and use teslin to make a pretty darn good GA id. The hologram is a simple red box with "georgia" in it

Brilliant gold works better than the interference gold? You mix it dry or in alc. or something? |

I would mix interference gold with brilliant gold or sparkle gold. You mix it dry.

I would suggest pure brilliant. Interference is too white. But you can experiment. |

db, have you used trans kote nylon? do you know if this is in the "extruded polyester" family with TXP (Transilwrap Extruded Polyester)? what would the difference be between a finished laminated card using TXP compared to nylon? |

No I wouldn't if you wanted to make one for a certain state I'd be willing to if you gave me the track data.

The AAMVA ones are not that hard to write and I think I have seen a generator for them on the net somewhere.
Anyone have a semi-detailed picture of the holo on GA?
Does anyone know about how long it takes to get orders from Perf's store? |
