Abstract: A batch of printed credentials each including a polyoptic region including a respective image separately determined during production according to biographic or other information unique to the credential holder, as well as system and a method for producing such credentials. The respective images of the credentials in the batch may convey targeted marketing information. The production process uses credential data retrieved from a data store to print the plurality of customized credentials on a single medium where each credential on the single medium includes an image field based on dynamic data relationships of retrieved credential data.

Abstract: A batch of individualized credentials, e.g., ID tags, event tickets, etc., taken from a credential medium that includes respective polyoptic regions each carrying an encoded image set associated with respective individualized credentials, as well as a system and a method or producing the same. The production process uses credential data retrieved from a data store to create a plurality of individualized credentials on a single sheet medium. The dynamic production process enables inclusion of variable customer or patronage data, or individual object data (e.g., a serial number or object characteristic) on individual credentials using a template file that identifies a type of data to be retrieved from the data store and/or a specified image generated according to the value, nature, or type of the individualized data.

Abstract: A batch of credentials printed on a credential medium having a pattern of lenses (e.g., lenticular or other pattern), as well as a system and method for producing such credentials. A library of encoders is used to encode pixel locations of a plurality of view sets comprising a number of individual image frames. Each view set is associated with a distinct region on a credential having distinct polyoptic properties (e.g., orientation, frequency, shape). Encoded images produced by the library of encoders are combined (e.g., by interlacing or other encoding pattern) into a single print-ready image that is aligned (e.g., registered) with lenses of the distinct polyoptic areas on a medium on which the credential is printed. Encoding may take the form of positioning, sizing, intensifying, coloring, masking, interlacing, interleaving, scrambling, mixing, transformation, alteration, translation of pixels, or a combination thereof.
