Plastic card personalizer system

Abstract

A novel apparatus and method for the immediate issuance of personalized identification cards during client interviews. The invention relates to the creation of personalized cards and recording of personal information on a realtime basis while a client is being interviewed by a card issuing authority. More particularly, the invention electronically records and permanently prints client personal information on cards using a computer and printing system in a single client contact. The invention immediately issues only a single permanent card, eliminating the need and expense of a delay in issuing a permanent card or in issuing two cards; a first temporary card and a second permanent card. The invention also eliminates the need for more expensive personalizing equipment.
