Re: Firearm certificates.
Really? April 1st is miles away yet. I took a copy of mine and sent it off with my renewal papers - no reason to, I suppose, I just thought it might speed things along if everything was in front of the person handling my renewal. It didn't. But no fraud or copy or any other watermark would pop up unless it was actually included in your print software as a layer for including in such documents and actually invoked by the user.

You mean like this
Re: Firearm certificates.
Yes, really. When I copied my FAC on a colour photocopier, 'FRAUD' appeared. I didn't print I copied. I suggest you scanned , not copied.Dark Skies wrote:Really? April 1st is miles away yet.

I assume the 'FRAUD' was assumed to work whether you copied or scanned, but actually doesn't work for scanning.

Re: Firearm certificates.
Iv got a colour photocopier.
A colour scanner.
A A3 all in one printer.
A A4 all in one printer.
A colour laser jet printer.
A black and white laser jet printer.
I can not get fraud to appear on any one of them unless I set it up to print fraud on the document. Strange.

Nope. Scanning takes an age on my printer - and throws out massive files that have to be reduced in an editor. I stuck it under the cover and pushed copy for an A4 photocopy (colour) .Trident wrote:Yes, really. When I copied my FAC on a colour photocopier, 'FRAUD' appeared. I didn't print I copied.

Re: Firearm certificates.
I was asked to photocopy mine before sending it in for renewal. Looked pretty convincing aside from the paper it was on. They wanted me to send it in so they can check how much ammunition I've bought. Given I shoot club .22 and reload everything else though, it's not much of a reflection. They do understand that they reckon but Derbyshire have always been brilliant with me.
