Color printing is the reproduction of an image or text in color (as opposed to simpler black and white or monochrome printing). and vision verification enhance efficiency and quality assurance MINNETONKA, Minn. -- Datacard Group, the world leader in secure ID and card personalization Custom tailoring information to the individual. On the Web, personalization means returning a page that has been customized for the user, taking into consideration that person's habits and preferences. solutions, today unveiled a powerful combination of technologies designed to improve small batch processing (1) Performing a particular operation automatically on a group of files all at once rather than manually opening, editing and saving one file at a time. For example, graphics software that converts a selection of images from one format to another would be a batch processing utility. and quality assurance for card issuers at the CARTES & IDentification 2008 exhibition. Together, the Datacard([R]) Artista([R]) VHD (Very High Density) A term applied to storage devices from time to time to indicate a higher capacity. retransfer color printing module and the vision verification module for the Datacard([R]) MX6000[TM] card issuance system enable financial card issuers, government agencies and other high-volume card issuers to achieve substantial gains in efficiency. "High-volume card issuers understand production batch sizes are shrinking and they need new ways to remain profitable and efficient in the face of change," said Katherine Boosalis, director of product marketing for Datacard Group. "These modules are changing the fundamental dynamics of card issuance. They incorporate highly sophisticated technologies that empower card issuers to combine many small batches into longer runs -- without compromising throughput. These modules dramatically reduce card stock inventories and costs related to managing multiple card types." The truly modular design In the context of systems engineering, modular design — or "modularity in design" — is an approach aiming to subdivide a system into smaller parts (modules) that can be independently created and then used in different systems to drive multiple functionalities. of the MX6000 system allows card issuers to choose the technologies they need today and give them the ability to easily add or change capabilities as their needs change. The inline Artista VHD module prints full-color, highly personalized per·son·al·ize tr.v. per·son·al·ized, per·son·al·iz·ing, per·son·al·iz·es 1.

Instead of managing multiple preprinted card stocks, issuers can load blank white cards into the MX6000 system and produce unique cards as quickly as they could produce the same size batch of identical cards, measurably reducing production schedules. The vision verification module works alongside other MX6000 system modules to provide thorough inline quality assurance. The module also performs automatic pre-programmed verification of card stock and personalization elements, locating and confirming unique identifiers With reference to a given (possibly implicit) set of objects, a unique identifier is any identifier which is guaranteed to be unique among all identifiers used for those objects and for a specific purpose. . "The vision verification module brings operational peace of mind," Boosalis said. "Card issuers need absolute assurance that the right stock is loaded for every run. The vision verification module complements the numerous checks and balances the MX6000 system already has in place, greatly reducing potentially expensive errors and raising the confidence in every card issued."
