Intro: Had to get one of these Jawns to check out what all the new hype is about.
Cost: 10/10
- This price is 100% justified because of the swift action OIS took when they realized their v1 had some issues, and cranked out a v2 within a few days. These guys are doing their best to make it one of their bread and butter states, and while doing so they're putting the appropriate effort in to assure quality.
Communication: 10/10
- The only question I asked was whether mine would be a v1 batch or v2 batch, and I got an email back within 24h. You have to understand that this is a Chinese based vendor, so that's an excellent response time.
Template: 8/10
- To start off, the letter (M or W) after the "SEX: M/W" field needs to be shifted a little to the left so that the line (I am referring to the line that divides the blue side from the red side of the state outline on the ID) goes down the middle of either the "M" or "W", not on either side of it. Secondly, the bar code on the bag is too small, and needs to be bigger. It should be larger and wider so that one side of the bar code is parallel to the "CLASS" section on the back of the ID. The other end of the bar code should reach down to the begging of the set of numbers that indicate the holder's birth year.
Photoshop: 8/10?
- On pics of the ID, there aren't any ear shadows. Not sure if that should be in there or not. I am not going to include this in the overall score because i'm not sure for sure.
Hologram: 7/10
- Need that ghost photo fixed, I know OIS said that it would take a few weeks but that thing has to be on point for this ID to be a 10/10.
Update: 5/10
- If what budget is saying is true about holograms, OIS nTX doesn't have any holograms.
UV: 4/10
- This is a really big problem with the ID, definitely tied with the ghost image. What I've noticed is that depending on the ID, the UV alignment with the template is either a little fucked, or completely fucked. But it's never close to usable. The first problem: the cardholder's face is to be encompassed by pattern that forms an oval around the face. Depending on the ID, the oval is either too far to the left or too far to the right. The end result; when UV light shines on the ID, an oval that's supposed to be around someone's face gets shifted too far left or right so that it only includes a little of their face and a good amount of the ID pic background. Secondly, the UV is also way out of alignment (either to the left or right) on the back right side of the ID where small leaf-like polygons are. Either too much left or right. Third: usually its just those two issues on the ID pic and the back right, but it's also not uncommon to see that the UV on the entire front side is out of alignment. All of it.
Signature: 10/10:
- I used a png so it's a beauty for sure.
Conclusion: 8.1/10
- the ID is actually beautiful. OIS put serious effort into getting all the raised text stuff on the ID looking good and the micro print looks great. Very impressed overall. However, I was a little dissapointed to see that the UV was so sloppy. I understand that the ghost image will take time to perfect as they need to acquire the proper lens, but until then something must be done about the UV on this ID. Yes, if the ghost image is fixed then its not a dead giveaway in state to the individuals knowing what a proper ghost image is supposed to look like. But unlike the ghost image, people won't need a trained eye to see that this UV is a clear indicator that the ID is fake.
To sum it up:
- The UV needs to be re-aligned and had some quality control done so that it's not a dead giveaway to anyone in-state or out of state, because it really is a dead giveaway.
- The ghost image needs to be done properly so that this ID is worth the $120 asking price.
- UV has to be fixed so this is usable at bars and clubs
Here are the pictures below: Note, I put pictures in for the problems. These are not to showcase the ID but to highlight the issues at hand.
