1. Color Inkjet Printer
This is obviously the most important part of the of the printing process. A lot of people
ask me what printer to get, but because I haven't tested them all, I can't tell you. What I
can tell is that your printer needs to have the following specifications as a MINUMUM.
2400 dpi x 9600 dpi.
Depending on your budget, the Cannon Pixma 925 might be a great printer. It's really
cheap, provides great quality, is almost available everywhere, and does not leave tracer
dots. Please use this site to compare your the printers.
More expensive printers usually don't offer better quality, just faster print speeds and
more options like bigger touch screens, enterprise support and other things we don't
need.
2. Laserjet
We will be using the Laserjet to make the security thread and the hologram if you are going to
do that yourself. You can also choose to make gold stip on the back of Euro notes with this
printer.
– What printer do I need to get?
The quality of the Laserjet does not really matter, since we're going to cover the print
up with metallic foil.
Your printer needs to have the following specifications:
Resolution: 2400 x [Does not matter]
Does not need to be a color printer.

Many Laserjets leave 'Tracerdots'
These dots can be used to find valuable information about the person who bought the printer.
Never, ever, connect your Laserjet to the Internet.
3. Normal Printing Paper
We will use normal paper for the tests. It costs less, functions the same as the special
paper. Use whatever paper you want.
4. Special Counterfeiting Paper
This is the paper we need to use when printing the final notes. It is pretty hard to
obtain, but if you ask many Alibaba vendor for it some will be able to offer it. I will provide
some links to vendors who offered it in the past.
Requirements:
– 90>% cotton paper, preferably 100%
– Preferably no starch in the paper (If there is starch the pen test will be positive)
– Not bleaching agents in the paper (They light up as white/blue under UV light)
– 35 / 40 GSM Thickness (for the 2 sheet method)
– 70-85 GSM Thickness for the single sheet method
5. Holographic Transfer Foil
If you are going to buy ready made holograms you can skip this.
We will use this metallic like foil to create the front part of our hologram. It is very important that
the quality of this transfer foil is as good as possible. I have been using following vendor for ages.
3m-/170890646830?pt=UK_Crafts_Embellishments_SM&hash=item27c9e0552e
6. Silver Transfer Foil
We will use this metallic like foil to create the background part of our hologram. It is very
important that the quality of this transfer foil is as good as possible. I have been using following
vendor for ages.
3m-/180795317332?pt=UK_Crafts_Embellishments_SM&hash=item2a183d9c54
Other vendors will work too, this person has just been reliable and shipped quickly.
7. Laminator
We will be using a laminator to make the Security thread, the Hologram & to glue the bills together.
– What Laminator do I need to get?
It doesn't really matter. I use one I bought for $15 about six year ago. I removed the cap on
my laminator to less paper would stick behind, so try to look for a laminator which has the
parts screwed together instead of glued.
Again, Any laminator will do, even the ones which have been glued together.
8. School Glue
We will use School glue to glue together the 2 sheets. School glue doesn't leave 'oil' like stains in
the paper, is cheap, and can be mixed with water.
Take note, School glue is translucent, liquid and smell strong.
9. Latex Gloves
To prevent fingerprints getting on the paper. I suggest using them during the entire process, even if
you're not touching the bills.
10. Hologram Stickers
If you don't want to print your own holograms, you can buy premade hologram sticker.
Please note that because it is an sticker, you will be able to see the small plastic sticker part if you look closely.
Suppliers: (50-100 Euro holograms only)
11. Glitter Make up
For making OVI, also known as color shifting ink.
This process is extremely hard, and it takes ages to get good results, but it might be
worth it. Up to you to decide.
We will use Pearl-Ex Pigments for this step.
Product: http://www.jacquardproducts.com/pearl-ex-pigments.html
We will need the Duo, Green & Purple variant.
