Patent Name Card Color Printing Method and Machine Patent Applicant CIM United States Company Principal Applicant United States Florida Inventor Albert Mussel; Marco Mazzidi; Franck Sarcani; Antonio Ami Lin Application (Patent) No. 02829434.3 Date of Application 2002.08.08 Approval Date Approval Notice No. 1650323 Date of Publication Approval 2005.08.03 Specification CD-ROM D0531 Main Classification Number G06K17/00 Classification Number G06K17/00; B41J2/355 Distribution Original Application No. First A method for thermal printing and/or magnetic encoding of plastic cards with ribbons, in particular for the operation of prepaid cards, smart cards, chip cards, etc., detects the color of the ribbon during operation, and controls the thermal energy of thermal printing Give, and drive printing, encoding and detection, where magnetic encoding is implemented upstream of the thermal printing position, color detection is achieved between magnetic encoding and/or thermal printing, and heat is detected while the color is detected Min printing. Sovereignty item 1. A method of color thermal printing of plastic cards and/or magnetic encoding of plastic cards, in particular prepaid cards, chip cards, etc., detecting the color of the ribbon during operation, controlling the thermal energy feed of thermal printing, and driving The printing, encoding and detection are characterized by: a. The implementation of the magnetic encoding is spatially upstream of the thermal printing; b. The realization of the color detection is spatially at the magnetic encoding and/or Between thermal printing, run synchronously with the printing.
