Claim 9:
10. An identification document personalization system, comprising:
a print station that is configured to apply radiation curable material to a surface of an identification document;
a curing station that includes at least one radiation emitting device that is controlled to have an on state and an off state and that emits radiation when in the on state that is suitable for curing radiation curable material applied to the surface of the identification document, and an aperture through which radiation emitted by the at least one radiation emitting device can travel toward the identification document;
a transport mechanism that transports the identification document from the print station to and through the curing station in a transport direction; and
a controller connected to the curing station that controls the curing station so that the at least one radiation emitting device is actuated to the on state from the off state after the radiation curable material is applied to the surface of the identification document and prior to a leading edge of the identification document reaching the aperture, and so that the at least one radiation emitting device is actuated to the off state after a trailing edge of the identification document clears the aperture.
