That's bullshit. DMVs printing RealIDs right now use high-end Fargos or Zebras, all under <$5000. The main detail these offer is multi-sided dye-sublimation and the ability to use a UV ribbon. "Microprinting" is a joke when you, as a consumer, can buy the exact same equipment that governments use. The most difficult security feature they utilize at the moment is a multi-spectrum visible hologram, something you cannot actually produce in a small-scale. Fortunately, you may order RealID state multi-spectrum holograms for around ~30 states from China and India on the cheap (~$1/ea shipped), and they're not visibly different under a loop.
