ABSTRACT:
A system for the automated production of an identification card includes a two-part security media and apparatus for printing, laminating and die-cutting the security media to form discrete identification cards. The two-part security media includes a continuous web of an opaque backing film, and a continuous web of a clear cover film which acts as a receptor for receiving a thermally printed digital card image. A first thermal web printer is operative for printing a reversed digital card image onto an inner surface of the cover film adjacent a terminal end thereof. A second thermal web printer prints a second image onto the back of the backing film at a terminal end thereof. The printed ends of the backing and cover films are advanced to a cutting station wherein they are aligned in overlying relation and severed from their webs. The aligned films are then advanced to a laminating station including a heated input nip for laminating the films under pressure and heat, a heated platen for heat-fusing the thermoplastic films together, and fan-cooled heat sinks for cooling the fused film construction. The fused laminate film construction is advanced to a die-cutting device which die cuts a predetermined size card from the laminate construction, and advances the die-cut card to a magnetic stripe encoder for encoding of a magnetic stripe on the back surface of the backing film.
