Epson 820 - passport photos

[Yianni]

It isn't the suitable printer for printing passport photos.

Will a picture printed on an Epson 820 using Epson ink
and Epson photo paper withstand the 200+ degree lamination
process as required by the US passport agency?

Why wouldn't it be Yianni? You think you know a lot about Epson's. Please
explain why it wouldn't be a good choice for a passport photo.

Hi Neil,

I got a passport for my son about two months ago. Currently, the
photos are not laminated at all. They are apparently scanned, then
printed on the passport itself...

HTH,

First of all I don't know the method the passport are made in USA. You said
about 200 degrees lamination.

Not any more. The new passports now use a scanned image of the original photo
that is printed onto the inside cover with all the other data.
