"Many system manufacturers, integrators and dealers find that monochromatic credential laser engraving is helpful in building their brand and encouraging credential re-orders," relates Scott Lindley, Farpointe Data president. "Laser engraving provides a longer lasting, much cleaner appearance than dye sublimation printing. It remains for the lifetime of the card."
According to Lindley, the laser engraving for security purposes is ideal for identification cards. Recently, laser engraving is becoming much more widespread in its use. Historically, dye transfer has been the preferred method for adding graphics on identification cards but laser engraving is quickly surpassing it worldwide.
Laser engraving lets security systems manufacturers, integrators and dealers mark access cards and tags permanently, creating an extra level of security by ensuring their credentials are safe from fraud with a tamper-proof solution. The extremely high quality tactile images and text can be highly individualised for each customer's or organisation's needs while meeting security standards imposed by national and international law.
