step 01. Check the Printing Equipment compatibility.

The secure QR code technology is compatible with majority of printing technologies that provide industrial level of quality and stability with min 600dpi resolution.
The following technologies have been extensively tested:

  • Flexo [2400, 2540, 4000 dpi]
  • Offset [2400, 2540]
  • Rotogravure [500+ l/cm]
  • Digital presses [600, 812.8, 1200 dpi]

Technologies as laser engraving, inkjet are subject to evaluation. Thermal printers or home inkjet printers do not provide sufficient quality.

step 03. Calibration of your Equipments

To achieve desired security and to enable copy-detection and authentication function each Substrate + Equipment needs to be Calibrated.

Download the Proof-Sheet on Printer Portal. Use the QA Device to scan the calibration sheet.

step 04. Generate codes and prepare the printing data

Replace FPO by Secure QR code in the artwork through your pre-press process.
DO NOT DOWNSAMPLE / DO NOT HALFTONE.

Print the prepared printing data and make to Quality Control sampling scans using the QA Device. Confirm the printed volume and close the Work-Order.
