chromXpert® security ribbons

Enhancing card security for desktop card printers

Unique, security driven card printer ribbons for secure ID issuance programmes

ChromXpert’s security ribbons combine crisp color printing (up to 16.7 million vivid colors) and subtle security panel overlays to reduce the risk of counterfeiting. When used with direct to card printers such as the MC DTC series, a varnish type overlay panel (O) protects the printed information and ensures durability throughout the card’s lifetime.

In the retransfer printing process the color and security panels are printed onto a clear retransfer film that is subsequently transferred onto the card surface. As a result consistent print results can be achieved with many different cards types including PC, PET and smart cards with an embedded chip and irregular surfaces – making these security ribbons ideal for decentralized secure government ID issuance programs.

All security ribbons include the capability to add a unique symbol, logo or pattern to decrease the risk of forgery.

IMPORTANT: Printer warranty subject to the use of chromXpert ribbons.
