In a world where fake IDs cost businesses thousands in fraud and downtime, Vision IDZ’s exclusive IDP SMART printers come with a built-in weapon: SMART Secure watermarking. It’s not an add-on. It’s not expensive. It’s free, invisible (until you tilt the card against a light source), and applied during printing—no extra hardware or consumables needed.
Stop counterfeits in their tracks.
How SMART Secure Watermark Works
During the overcoat stage of re-transfer printing, the IDP Smart 31, 51, or 70 applies a custom, invisible watermark to the card surface. It’s embedded in the clear overlaminate layer using proprietary heat-transfer tech—no inks, no films, zero cost per card.
Key specs :
- Resolution: 300 dpi integration—sharp enough for edge-to-edge designs, subtle enough to vanish under normal light.
- Activation: Enable in CardPresso application software (included with every printer, or directly in the printer driver.
- Compatibility: All IDP Smart models (31 entry-level, 51 mid-volume, 70 professional series). Works on PVC, PET, and polycarbonate stock. No speed penalty—150–220 cards/hour unchanged.
The result? A card that looks normal but reveals your watermark under UV light or angled viewing. Verified in our lab: survives abrasion, heat, and flexing without fading.
Why It Beats Traditional Security (No Holograms, No Hassle)
Standard options like holograms add $0.10–$0.50 per card and require separate laminators ($3,000+). SMART Secure? Zero extra cost, zero equipment, zero waste.
Advantages :
- Fake Deterrence: Invisible to casual inspection, but visible when the card is tilted against a light source—perfect for access control or membership verification. Deters 80 % of casual forgers without slowing badge production.
- Cost Savings: Built into the YMCKO ribbon overcoat—no new supplies. At 50 % consumables margins, every badge stays profitable.
- Scalability: For events (500 badges) or bureaus (5,000/month), it’s seamless—no downtime for lamination.
