Entrust Datacard has received a US patent for a new card personalisation process. According to the company, US Patent No 10,049,320 ('Card Printing Mechanism with Card Return Path') facilitates duplex card printing without the need for a second card printing mechanism, which reduces the cost and footprint of card personalisation systems.Entrust Datacard says this new patent is generally directed towards card processing mechanisms and methods that include a return card travel path that is separate from the primary card travel path, which allows a card to be reintroduced back onto the primary card travel path and transported through a card processing station (for example, a printing mechanism) a second time. "We strive to bring our customers the most forward-thinking technologies possible and this newly issued patent is evidence of our continued commitment to innovation in this space," says Dan Good, vice president, bureau solutions for Entrust Datacard. "For nearly 50 years, we've kept our finger on the pulse of innovation in the security and card personalisation space, continuously investing in new technologies that have allowed us to provide the most cutting-edge solutions to our customers. We will continue to invest in and create solutions that not only meet our customers' needs, but exceed their expectations." Since 1969, Entrust Datacard has been granted more than 200 US patents and numerous additional patents in Europe and China.
