Mentalix's CardPrint API Toolkit enables systems integrators
and OEMs to add FBI-certified ten-print card printing to their proprietary
law enforcement and civilian security applications.

NEW CARD PRINTING
CERTIFICATION:
Mentalix recently received FBI certification for a new fingerprint
card printing solution. This is an exciting development for users,
because the CardPrint software (available as an API and as an add-on
option for Fed Submit) will now allow printing of color boundaries
and photos, along with fingerprint images, onto raw (blank) card
stock when used with the Lexmark C524 or C534 color printer.
FBI-Certified Card Printing
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has certified that CardPrint
API Toolkit meets the Appendix F IQS Specifications for the Bureau's
Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System (IAFIS).
The algorithm is specifically tuned for the printing of fingerprint
images, to ensure that ridges are not broken up or hidden, as is
typically seen with general-purpose laser printing algorithms. As
a result, the FBI will accept these cards for comparisons with the
IAFIS fingerprint database.
Prints color fingerprint cards on blank card stock
Mentalix recently added FBI-certified support for the Lexmark™ C524
and C534 color printers. This is an exciting development for users,
because the CardPrint API Toolkit will now allow printing of color
boundaries and photos, along with fingerprint images, onto raw (blank)
card stock. The software already supports the most common card templates,
such as FBI (criminal) and applicant cards. We can also add support
for custom card templates, such as those tailored for specific
state, county or municipal agencies.
Cost-effective
Because it works with off-the-shelf printing
devices, CardPrint API Toolkit offers one of the most economical
development tools for integrators and programmers. Coupled with
its ability to work with customized fingerprint interfaces, CardPrint
API Toolkit provides an affordable total cost of ownership for OEMs
and integrators.
Easy to integrate
The CardPrint API Toolkit simplifies the integration process, making
it easy to add ten-print card printing functions to your proprietary
interface. Comprised of a single, platform-specific runtime library
module, the product is available in a DLL for Windows®. Mentalix
already offers IAFIS-certified, ten-print card scanning and image
compression toolkits. The CardPrint API Toolkit may be used in conjunction
with these other products -- the Fingerprint
Scan API Toolkit and the Fast WSQ
API Toolkit -- to convert fingerprints to electronic files,
then call up the computerized images for printing and submitting
to law enforcement agencies for identification. It can also be integrated
with other biometric systems.
Reduces development effort
With its 'C' API, the CardPrint library module allows you to quickly
add fingerprint card printing. The subroutines provide core capabilities
to minimize your efforts.
Comprehensive fingerprint solutions
Mentalix offers several fingerprint API Toolkits. All can be used
stand-alone, and all of them may be used in combination as a comprehensive
'C' API for fingerprint applications and non-fingerprint scanning
needs. From card scanning and printing to image processing and compression,
Mentalix's API Toolkits enable smooth integration of a customized
fingerprint solution within turnkey systems.
