THE BREAKTHROUGH WITH COLOUR LASER TECHNOLOGY

For decades, governments faced an impossible choice when personalising identity documents: security or quality.

    Black-and-white laser personalisation offered robust security but produced grayscale images.
  
    Colour laser and inkjet technologies provided colour portraits but failed to deliver both high security and premium quality. Until now.
  
    CHROMA is the first and only laser colour personalisation technology that eliminates this compromise, delivering near-photographic image quality while maintaining the highest security standards required for polycarbonate identity documents.

WHY COLOUR MATTERS:
THE DIMENSIONS OF VERIFICATION

Identity checks compare travelers with the photos in their passports, both digital and printed. Yet most passports (90%) are still in black and white, making it harder for verifiers to match what they see to real life.

1. Visual Inspection

Border officers view both the traveller and document in colour.

2. Document Portrait

The image personalised in the document booklet.

3. Digital Record

The photograph stored on the chip.

WHY CHROMA?

1. Photo-realistic quality

2. Highest definition in the market

3. Full colour laser portrait
