Mentalix Releases FBI-Certified Fingerprint Card Printing
Software
CardPrint API Toolkit(TM) Produces Quality Ten-Print
Images with the Lexmark T522(R)
PLANO, Texas -- Mentalix, Inc. announces the availability
of its new CardPrint
API Toolkit. The software enables systems
integrators to add FBI-certified fingerprint card
printing functionality to existing law enforcement
solutions and is one of the most cost-effective printing
alternatives available for fingerprint system developers.
CardPrint API Toolkit runs on Windows XP/NT/2000(R)
and supports the Lexmark T522 laser printer, known
for its speed and high-resolution output. The printed
images produced by CardPrint are of such quality that
the resulting ten-print cards can be used for fingerprint
identification purposes.
CardPrint's FBI
certification status means that the FBI will accept
the CardPrint cards for comparisons against the Bureau's
IAFIS (Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification
System) fingerprint database. 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(TM) and the Fast
WSQ API Toolkit(TM), respectively -- to convert
fingerprints to electronic files, then call up the
computerized images for printing and submitting to
law enforcement agencies for identification. In addition,
the CardPrint API Toolkit can be integrated with other
biometric systems currently on the market.
"Mentalix created CardPrint in response to requests
from our OEM and systems integrator partners," Paul
Siegert, Mentalix president and CEO, said. "Some of
their customers wanted to print hard copies of electronic
fingerprint cards for case files or for sending to
the FBI for identification. The developers needed
a crisp, high-resolution printing application that
could easily be integrated with either their proprietary
solutions or with the Mentalix products they already
use. We are pleased to make CardPrint available to
these integrators, because it offers the lowest total
cost of ownership for applications development."
Mentalix provides several fingerprint
software packages for developers and systems integrators.
