Patent number: 11938719Abstract: A drop-on-demand plastic card printer includes a tray disposed underneath the plastic card during drop-on-demand printing to catch any overspray that may occur during printing on the plastic card. The tray may be disposable so that the tray is intended to be removed and disposed of. An ink absorbent pad can be disposed in the tray to absorb the oversprayed ink. The ink absorbent pad can be disposed of along with the tray or disposed of separately from the tray.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2022Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: Entrust CorporationInventors: Alex Zaborowski, Randy Jordan, Jon Wawra, Tim Flitsch, Cory Wooldridge, Daniel Sarkinen

Patent number: 11858257Abstract: A DOD print station has at least one DOD print head that applies radiation curable material, to a surface of an identification document. A curing station is adjacent to the DOD print station. The curing station includes at least one radiation emitting device, for example a UV light emitting device, that cures the radiation curable material applied to the surface. The curing station is configured to prevent stray radiation emitted from the radiation emitting device from impinging on the DOD print head(s) and prevent exposure to the operator of the DOD print station.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 2022Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: Entrust CorporationInventors: Matt Odden, Cory Wooldridge, Andrew Luu, Daniel Sarkinen, Jon Wawra, Randy Jordan, Brendan Hinnenkamp, Brett McDonough, Tim Flitsch

Publication number: 20210379917Abstract: A multi-pass drop-on-demand (DOD) card printing mechanism that performs multi-pass DOD printing on a surface of a plastic card whereby the plastic card is transported past one or more DOD print heads multiple times for DOD printing on the card surface with each pass past the DOD print head(s). In a first printing pass, at least one material is applied to a surface of the plastic card using at least one DOD print head. In a second printing pass that occurs after the first printing pass, at least one additional material is applied to the surface of the plastic card in the card processing system using at least one DOD print head.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 7, 2021Publication date: December 9, 2021Inventors: Brett McDonough, Kevin Bontrager, Brendan Hinnenkamp, Cory Wooldridge, Daniel Sarkinen, Jon Wawra

Patent number: 10800194Abstract: A single plasma nozzle of a plasma treatment station is used to treat the card surface prior to performing drop-on-demand printing on the card surface. The single plasma nozzle has a plasma discharge width that is less than the width of the card. The card and the plasma nozzle are moved relative to one another using a two direction control scheme during plasma treatment in order to be able to plasma treat a desired area of the card surface. The card and the plasma nozzle may also be moveable toward or away from one another to change the distance therebetween.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2020Date of Patent: October 13, 2020Assignee: ENTRUST DATACARD CORPORATIONInventors: Cory Wooldridge, Norbert Kill, Lex Prenevost, Brendan Hinnenkamp, Jon Wawra, Thomas Wagener

Publication number: 20170300747Abstract: Embodiments of systems and methods for directly reading and verifying characters on a personalized document, are provided. A surface of the personalized document is illuminated independently or simultaneously by first and second light sources. The first light source has a ring shape, surrounds the personalized document in 360 degree, and transmits a grazing incident light to illuminate the surface of the personalized document. An incident light from the second light source is reflected by a beam splitter and illuminates the surface of the personalized document in a direction generally perpendicular to the surface. Light reflected from the surface of the personalized document in a direction generally perpendicular to the surface thereof is collected by a camera.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 29, 2017Publication date: October 19, 2017Inventor: Cory WOOLDRIDGE
