Printing Cash

You discover the issue when you try to print your scanned $20 bill. The fact that such information can be captured by the scanner does not indicate that your printer is able to reproduce them. If you try to print on a regular inkjet printer, the naked eye comes out looking all wrong. The colours are off and they look muddy in the photos.

When you put your latest counterfeit bill under a microscope, you can see why it looks wrong.

It's clear they're not even similar at all. Actually, you can see what is happening here — the printer can't really reproduce the fine lines. The blobs that the printer ends up making make the light colour of the original bill a much brighter hue in the case of the hexagons.

This effect is the very reason why, first of all, the lightly-colored hexagons are imprinted on the bill — they make the bill more difficult to reproduce with current printer technology. Visit now for fake euros.

To some extent, these printer problems can be remedied with a better printer. However, even the best printers lose some of the detail. If a person were to look at the inkjet printer's counterfeit bill with a magnifying glass, it would be obvious that it is a counterfeit. But to the naked eye, a good high-resolution printer can produce a counterfeit bill that looks pretty close to the real thing.

To create an actual bill, you are going to have to test-print your scan a number of times and adjust the color to get the overall tone right. You are also going to have to scan the back of the bill and practice aligning the front and back sides to get a realistic two-sided bill.
