    Holography and Fake ID's

    Uploaded by

    James Peachey
    This document discusses holograms and methods for replicating holograms on IDs. It defines holograms as 3D images that are difficult to replicate and used for security. There are two types of holograms that can be replicated using three methods: the Alps method, Stamp method, and Thermal Transfer method. The Alps method produces high quality holograms but is expensive and slow. The Stamp method is inexpensive and reusable but quality can vary. The Thermal Transfer method is fairly inexpensive and fast but requires trial and error. Replicating holograms can be an interesting hobby or money-making opportunity and help identify fake IDs.

    Holography and

    False Identification

    By James Peachey
    What is Holography?
     Process/technique of making holograms (3D
    images)
     Holograms are easily recognizable and
    supposedly impossible to replicate
     Used in a variety of industries, especially security
    Replication of Holograms
     Two Styles of Hologram:
     Single/Double Spectrum
     Multi-Spectrum

     Three Methods of Replication


     (Single/Double Spectrum Only)
     Alps Method
     Stamp Method
     Thermal Transfer Method
    Alps (Dye-Sublimation) Method
     Process:
     Extremely Complicated
     Pros:
     Brighter/Crisper Holograms
     Water and Smear Proof
     Dries Instantly
     Cons:
     Old Technology
     Expensive
     Extremely Slow
     Huge Learning Curve
    Stamp Method
     Process:
     Stamp is made/purchased
     Pearl-ex Pigments are spread very thin
     Stamp dipped into Pearl-ex then firmly placed onto ID
     Pros:
     Cheap
     Easy
     Reusable
     Cons:
     Very few when used correctly
     Easy to mess up
    Thermal Transfer
     Process:
     Light coat of ink printed onto transparency
     Pearl-ex Pigments dusted onto ink
     Laminate placed over top and laminated on low heat
     Pros:
     Fairly Inexpensive
     Fast
     Cons:
     Lots of Trial and Error
     Large Mess
    Why is this important to you?
    Fun and interesting hobby
    Great Money Maker
    Helps identify poorly made Fake ID’s
