How to Align the Holopatch

Follow the steps below to properly align the HoloPatch with the gold patch and colour hole.

Step 1 — Open Security Options

Go to:

Printing Preferences → Card Front → Security Options…


Step 2 — Centre the Tile

Use the X / Y adjustment to centre the tile in the middle of the Gold Patch.

Adjust the X and Y values as needed until the tile is properly centered.


Step 3 — Select the Area

Click the Selected Area… button.

This will allow you to adjust the colour hole around the HoloPatch.


Step 4 — Centre the Colour Hole

Use the X / Y adjustment to centre the colour hole around the HoloPatch.

Make small adjustments until the colour hole is properly aligned with the HoloPatch.


Step 5 — Adjust the Width and Height

Use the Width / Height adjustment to reduce the size of the colour hole.

Adjust it until the colour hole perfectly surrounds the Gold Patch.

To achieve the best alignment, follow this order:

1. Centre the tile → 2. Select the area → 3. Centre the colour hole → 4. Adjust the width and height


Step 6 — Save the Adjustment as the Default

If the same adjustment will always be required, apply the same settings under:

Printer Properties → Advanced → Printing Defaults

This will make the adjustment the default setting for future printing.
