The EDIsecure Laser Color Personalization System LCP 9000 is ideal for high-secure corporate and government applications. It integrates the advantages of high quality XID Retransfer color printing and secure laser engraving on a single card in a one step process. With its innovative system concept, the LCP 9000 allows the combination of an unrivaled variety of security features, such as on demand personalization of data as micro text, CLI and MLI, tactile effects, high resolution gradient UV printing, electronic guilloche, and IPI (Invisible Personal Information), making credential forgery and manipulation impossible.

The XID Retransfer technology features over-the-edge full color printing for either single or double sided cards with outstanding image quality. The Laser Engraver Unit allows inline laser personalization of personal data and images also on either card side penetrating the card body, adding an additional level of security. Different encoding options such as magnetic stripe encoding, as well as contact or contactless chip technology can be utilized. To maximize card security and durability, the system can even be combined with inline lamination modules for front and/or back side lamination.

The Laser Engraver Unit is also available as a standalone system - LES 9000 - for black & white laser engraving only, equipped with a lockable automatic card hopper for 350 cards and optional integrated encoders for magnetic stripe and smart cards.

The EDIsecure Laser Color Personalization System LCP 9000 is built up by individual components: XID 9330 for full color printing in highest quality, LEU 9000 for laser engraving, and ILM Inline Lamination Module for overlamination with clear and secure foils.

	Many card printers offer UV printing as an added security feature. However, because they use low-resolution binary images, they tend to lack the image detail necessary to prevent counterfeiting and alteration. In contrast, the LCP 9000 gives you unparalleled UV security printing on-demand, allowing you to print each individual cardholder’s photo in high resolution UV, which makes verifying their identities much easier for security personnel. You can add variable text or other images, like logos, in UV to further secure the card against alteration.

	To protect the cards you issue from being easily counterfeited, the LCP 9000 prints a small Unique Machine Code on every UV-printed card. By using this code, we can help identify counterfeiters by determining how a printer was acquired and by whom. Our controlled distribution process also limits the UV capabilities of the LCP 9000 from falling into the wrong hands, further protecting your cards against unauthorized reproduction.

	Laser engraved images are among the hardest to duplicate or forge. While most card printers attach images and data to the surface of the card, laser engraving permeates to the inner core of the card. Through heat and chemical reaction, this process drives darker molecules to the card’s surface, making the card virtually impossible to modify. Attempting to alter or remove laser engraved images would nearly destroy the card.

	To the naked eye, micro text looks like fine lines, but is really made up of small letters that can be read under magnification. This makes the card even harder to duplicate, because the text is so small it cannot be reproduced by copying or scanning.

	Tactile laser engraved effects can be felt, not just seen. When applied to text or graphics, the images are slightly raised, making them easy to identify, even in low-light environments. If you rub your fingertips over tactile data or images, you can feel the security! Printing tactile or non-tactile images with the LCP 9000 is simple, since this capability is controlled in the driver.

	CLI (Changeable Laser Images) and MLI (Multiple Laser Images) are security features that are impossible to reproduce without specialized printing equipment. When the card is tilted from side to side, CLI and MLI show one image one way and a different image the opposite. The images shown are impossible to photocopy or reproduce on a lower-quality printer.

	Did you know a cardholder’s photograph can also hold security features? IPI (Invisible Personal Information) can be encoded into the photograph and read with a special, inexpensive plastic lens. The photograph looks completely normal to the naked eye, but when the lens is held over the photo, encoded text can be read back to validate the card. Any attempt to alter the card would result in damage or loss of the encoded data. Also, important data, like DOB or expiration dates can be embedded into the photo as well.

	Holographic foils and laminate can be added to the top layer of the card after printing and engraving to secure the card surface against tampering. Holograms can be utilized in conjunction with patch laminate to protect the color-printed surface of the card from wear and tear while preventing unauthorized changes to the data and images on the card.

	High resolution laser engraving prints crisp, clear personal data that is easily readable but difficult to change or erase. Laser engraved text is the result of a chemical reaction to the heat of the laser. During the engraving process, the dark colors of each letter rise from the core of the card into the surface of the card. Once personalized, they cannot be changed without damaging the card. This prevents counterfeiters from changing important data like the expiration date, date of birth, employee numbe, etc.

	To further prevent counterfeit cards from being produced, certain security elements can be pre-printed into the card body. Pre-printed images and data help validate that the card has been created on certified materials of your choosing, and makes reproduction on generic card material more difficult.
