Intro: Got this with the 20% off sale. This will be a pretty strict review since it’s expensive and everyone says it’s the best out there.
Uncertainty Factor: Comparing to Scans of reals MI Dls and have seen and held a few real physicals before.
Communication:[1/10] This vendor was a nightmare to deal with. Takes weeks to answer tickets and slow to resolved issues.
Turnaround/Shipping:[1/10]: I paid on the first day they opened and just got the id October 25th so that’s almost a 2 month turnaround. Took forever cause of the balance update issue. Definitely a vendor if you have the time. Also no like serious stealth cause they’re domestic FYI so if your a kid and got nosy parents who go through your stuff make sure to get it first.
Template:[8/10] Template looks great just think the green is a little bit off. Also would be nice to have had the textile dob option! I know it’s extremely weak as I’ve seen Michigan dls in real life and I honestly couldn’t feel it on licenses that were over a year old and had to really deal on licensees under 6 months, but I really would like it just Incase someone does a direct comparison to barbook. I don’t unstand why they don’t offer this option when plenty of people are willing to pay.
Microprinting:[9/10] Microprinting isn’t to sharp but it think it wouldn’t hurt to be a little bit sharper and clearer.
Ovi/Holo:[9/10] Ovi looks great just think it’s supposed to be a little bit brighter and it’s the correct color so this really shouldn’t give you any problems out of state or probably anywhere in state.
Uv:[7/10] Ring around the state seal should be brighter I believe and my back face uv looks a little weird/shadowy.
Photoshop:[7/10] Not great, basically just looks like their program beautifies the picture sand adds ear shadows(which the ear shadows do look great though, very strong). Not horrible though.
Laser Perforations:[8/10] For some reason two sections of the laser perf are bigger and let in more light. However it does show a lot through and doesn’t look spacey at all when a flash light is shown through. Not a bad job here.
Scanning:[10/10] Gotta give it to them it’s a perfect barcode so this is really what sets them apart from everyone else. Also tried it at one 711 and instead of it normally taking a second for the scanner to read the barcode it was just BANG, barcode like instantly read. Live in nyc so no one swipes around here but I’m sure id be fine if it ever got swiped.
Overall:[8.5/10] Not a bad id I wouldn’t say the best physically looking cause I feel my OIS nRI definitely looks realer primarily because of the photo shot but it still is solid physically. Obviously the great thing about this is the perfect 1:1 barcode so you never gotta worry that your id won’t scan. Also for some reason my duplicate has a little white border on the top so I’m probably gonna ask for a reprint since I paid so much for this. Still definitely a top 5 id out there for sure and will definitely buy another one if they ever add the raised option again. Especially a great id if you live in an area where all they’re gonna do is scan it. Also never know when the 1:1 will come in handy cause a friend of mind got his id form a regular vendor scanned at a bar using age id in North Carolina and the bouncer got a cop over. Lucky all the cop did was take his id and write him up from underage drinking but it obviously could’ve been way worse.
