Create Higher Resolution Credentials
Today’s ID credentials need to be durable, inspectable, and secure while standing up to highly sophisticated threats. The benefits of 600 dpi resolution include:
- Sharper security features: More precise visible features such as fine lines and microtext are easier for trained personnel to inspect and harder for counterfeiters to reproduce.
- More reliable scanning: A barcode that scans inconsistently can slow access, create manual workarounds, and introduce friction when time and accuracy matter.
- Improved clarity and inspection: Better detail and cleaner text supports sharper images and fonts. More precise printing supports stronger visual security elements during inspection.
- Stronger brand-quality: More refined color output, sharper logos, cleaner photography, and better detail in the small design elements make a credential feel official.
