Different substrates perform differently when printing Scantrust Secure Graphic codes on them. This is why it is important for a printing company to manage all substrates well. Please note, any differences (including but not limited to: paper, lamination, ink, etc) that happen to the substrate should be defined as a new substrate on the Scantrust Portal.
