LCI is a holder’s photo enhancing feature that
contributes to a higher level of security.
LCI is designed
for polycarbonate materials and provides a bright fullcolour
image by combining two technologies: a black
laser engraved image in combination with an inkjet
printed image.
The LCI process comprises three steps: first, a black laser
engraved image is applied into the document body
(making it impossible to remove without physical
damage to the document). Secondly, a colour image is
printed in cyan (C), magenta (M) and yellow (Y) colours
on top of the engraved image. After this is done, the ink
is completely cured with a high power UV light in a single
move with high-speed.
Thirdly and optionally a translucent varnish ink is applied
on top of the colour image to increase surface abrasion
resistance, which is also completely cured with a high
power UV light.
