Gemalto announced the launch of two new laser-personalized innovations designed to further increase the security of official identity documents.
These advanced security features are available immediately as additional options in the Gemalto Color Laser Shield secure identity solutions range and are supported by major brands of personalization equipment.
Color laser engraving is the most secure way to personalize documents. It has won the trust of progressive government bodies worldwide and is gaining further momentum in 2018. In addition to color portraits of exceptional sharpness secured by four color lasers, the two new security features can now be applied to polycarbonate documents such as national ID cards, passports, healthcare cards, driver’s licenses, voting and resident permit cards.
Gemalto Color Variable Microtext adds color to personalized microtext, a strong level 2 security feature (visible with a magnifier). It combines color and high resolution to engrave sharp characters and is difficult to forge and copy.
Gemalto Color Window is a transparent window inside the polycarbonate card that is color laser-engraved with a portrait, making it impossible to copy and enabling quick checking. Any attempts by forgers to tamper with the document will be immediately visible. As a see-through element in color, it enables instant inspection of the entire layer structure.
“These two new features are part of our ongoing commitment to constant improvements in the security of our products. The Gemalto Color Laser Shield technology launched in 2014, also known as Color in PC, will see further innovations in the very near future,” said Youzec Kurp, SVP ID Document Solutions, Government Business Unit, for Gemalto.
