Abstract: The invention relates to a method (400) for protecting printed data on a transfer film of a heat-transfer printer for a plastic card comprising a print head (112), the protection method (400) comprising: a first printing step (402) during which the transfer film and the plastic card advance simultaneously over a printing length L0 under the print head and during which the print head heats according to the text to be printed, a rewinding step (404) during which the transfer film is rewound over a rewinding length L0+/?d different from the printing length L0, and during which the plastic card is brought upstream of the print head, a subsequent printing step (408) during which the transfer film and the plastic card (10) advance simultaneously over another printing length under the print head and during which the print head heats according to the text to be printed, and an ejection step (410) during which the plastic card is expelled from the printer.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a device (DISP) for treating at least one surface of an object, having a first input (E1) for receiving objects (OBJ1) coming from a loader (CHRG) intended to contain a plurality of such objects, and including at least one operating chain having an input intended to receive objects from the first input (E1) of the device (DISP). The device according to the invention has a second input (E2) for receiving objects (OBJ2) supplied individually by a user of the device (DISP), each operating chain being capable of receiving objects (OBJ2) inserted through said second input (E2). The invention makes it possible to perform in series or one at a time several different types of surface treatment, by means of a device which can furthermore be implemented in a more compact form than the known devices.
