A personalized card printer includes a card printing station with a thermal printhead that has a first resolution, and the card printing station is controlled so that the resulting printing on the personalized card by the thermal printhead has a resolution that is lower than the first resolution. The lower resolution printing may be achieved by controlling the transport speed to increase the transport speed past the printhead. The transport speed is increased compared to what the transport speed past the printhead would be to print at the first, higher resolution of the thermal printhead.

Methods and systems for measuring true positive and false positive matching rates for a given biometric engine within an operational environment are provided. In some examples, a test, or candidate, biometric engine may be executed, or utilized, in parallel with a production biometric engine, on biometric data that is available during live operation of the production biometric engine. Performance of a biometric engine can be assessed, as to both true positive and false positive matching. Additionally, where multiple biometric engines are assessed concurrently, a candidate biometric engine may be compared to performance of the production biometric engine to determine whether a change or upgrade is advisable.
A security technique that helps prevent access to personal data left behind on ribbon supplies used in print stations of card or passport personalization systems. After printing, a section of the ribbon that bears the negative image of the personal data is wound onto a take-up roll and then fused to one or more additional layers of the ribbon wound onto the take-up roll. The fusing can be achieved using radiation, for example from a light source or from a source of thermal radiation, applied at least to the section of the ribbon bearing the negative image and also possibly applied to the additional layer(s). The fusing of the layers of the ribbon on the take-up roll prevents unwinding of the used ribbon to read the personal data in the negative images.

REAL-TIME IMAGE PROCESSING AND PRINTING CONTROL IN CARD PERSONALIZATION MACHINES
Systems and methods where at least one intended printing parameter of a printing mechanism of a card personalization system is modified in real-time to a new printing parameter just prior to printing on the card to tailor the printing parameter(s) from one card to the next. The modification of the intended printing parameter(s) may occur after the card has been input from a card input of the card personalization system. The printing parameter(s) used by the printing mechanism to print on each card can be modified in real-time so that the printing that is performed on each card can be improved.
Techniques are described for applying heat to a personalized identification document to increase the temperature of a portion of a surface of the document prior to printing on the surface. Applying heat to the document substrate improves one or more qualities such as the adhesion, quality, and/or durability of printing that is subsequently applied to the surface, reduces the printhead voltage used during printing (in the case of thermal transfer printing), is less costly and is easier to implement than creating heat in the substrate for example using plasma treatment.

In an example, an issued user card is used to verify the identity of the user. In further example aspects, enterprise resources may be associated with assurance levels defining the level of authentication required to access the enterprise resources. In an example, an enterprise resource may have an assurance level that requires multi-factor authentication with a verified authenticator to access the enterprise resource.
Techniques are described for maintaining a DOD print head in a print mechanism of a card or passport personalization system, where the DOD print head prints using ink that is difficult to handle and dispose of in an unaltered form of the ink. A maintenance ejection of waste ink is performed. The waste ink is then altered, for example by curing in the case of a radiation curable ink, while the waste ink is within the card or passport personalization system. This makes the waste ink easier to handle and dispose of.

Techniques are described for maintaining a DOD print head in a print mechanism of a card or passport personalization system, where the DOD print head prints using ink that is difficult to handle and dispose of in an unaltered form of the ink. A maintenance ejection of waste ink is performed. The waste ink is then altered, for example by curing in the case of a radiation curable ink, while the waste ink is within the card or passport personalization system. This makes the waste ink easier to handle and dispose of.

Methods and systems for detecting fraud during biometric identity verification
Described herein are computerized methods and systems for detecting fraud during biometric identity verification. A mobile device captures video comprising a plurality of frames of a person's face. The mobile device extracts from the video frames comprising at least two frames of the person's face from different angles. The mobile device creates a reconstruction of the person's face using the extracted frames and derives signals associated with features of the person's face. The mobile device generates an embedding for each extracted frame using the extracted frames, the three-dimensional reconstruction, and the signals. The mobile device calculates, for each extracted frame, a fraud confidence value based upon the embedding for the extracted frame, attributes of the person's face, and image quality attributes of the extracted image. The mobile device computes a fraud detection decision for the extracted frames based upon the fraud confidence values and the embeddings.

A ribbon supply roll for use in a plastic card or passport personalization machine. The ribbon supply roll includes a zone-coated splice tape with a pressure sensitive adhesive on a backing film where the adhesive does not flow or ooze beyond the edges of the backing film. Therefore, a transferrable material on a winding layer in contact with the splice tape is not pulled away. For example, portions of the backing film of the splice tape are not coated with the adhesive which permits the adhesive to flow or ooze when pressure is applied to the splice tape. However, the adhesive does not flow enough to flow beyond the edges of the backing film.

Printing multi-color images on non-vinyl plastic identification documents in identification document printing systems. A non-linear pixel density adjustment curve is used to adjust the pixel density data of a multi-color image to be printed which adjusts the power applied to the thermal print head. The use of a non-linear pixel density adjustment curve to adjust the pixel density data improves the quality of the resulting multi-color printed image, reduces mass transfer of the dye donor layer, and reduces breaking of the carrier film of the print ribbon.
