The Blue Phoenix IMP-6 Originators allow the origination of all commonly used types of security holograms and diffractive optical elements. The Originators have three operating modes – holographic, lithographic and combined mode with fully programmable switching between these modes during hologram origination.

The originating area of standard holograms is 150x150mm (6″x6″) and can be enlarged on demand. If IMP-6 originators are equipped with a pulsed laser, this area can be filled with identical or different holograms in only several hours, thus making mechanical recombination unnecessary.

Positive photoresist plates are used as the printing medium. Origination is accomplished by the exposition of a desired photoresist area, filling it with holographic micro-frames, each of which contains elementary holograms and subsequently developing the obtained diffractive structure in an etching solution.

Invited presentations about our Originators were given at the conferences:

• The Holography Conference 2017


• High Security Printing Asia 2017


• High Security Printing EMEA 2018


• SPIE Photonics West 2018
