  • Inverted reverse-image transfer printing
    Patent number: 8834046
    Abstract: A credential printing device is provided. The credential printing device includes a credential substrate transport, a transfer ribbon and a transfer roller. The credential substrate transport is configured to feed a credential substrate along a processing path. The transfer ribbon is adjacent to the processing path. The transfer roller is positioned below the processing path and is configured to transfer an image from the transfer ribbon to a bottom surface of the credential substrate in the processing path.

  • Substrate Feeding in a Credential Production Device
    Publication number: 20080217842
    Abstract: A method of feeding substrates in a credential production device is provided. A substrate transport has first and second feed rollers displaced along a substrate feed path. A substrate holder containing at least a first substrate engages the first feed roller and a second substrate lies on the first substrate. The first feed roller driven such that the first substrate is fed out of the substrate holder in a forward direction along the substrate feed path. Movement of the second substrate is restricted in the forward direction along the substrate feed path using the first feed roller after the first substrate separates from the first feed roller. The first substrate is fed along the substrate feed path using the second feed roller.
