No More Compromises on Your Documents
Traditional identity documents force a choice. Grayscale laser engraving offers high security but limited recognition. Color inkjet offers better images but weaker durability and tamper resistance. CHROMA delivers both.
Cyan, magenta, and yellow are laser-engraved directly into the polycarbonate structure, producing a portrait that is photorealistic and permanently embedded in the document body.
Color Is Not Cosmetic. It Is a Security Feature.
Scientific research shows that border officers and document verifiers are significantly more likely to make incorrect face matches when comparing a live person to a grayscale photograph. Color improves recognition accuracy by preserving skin tones, facial contrasts, and subtle features that grayscale cannot capture.
A New Standard for Document Personalization
CHROMA achieves an effective resolution equivalent to 1200 DPI through precise laser overlap and intensity modulation. Governments no longer need to choose between document security and issuance throughput.
