Abstract:
A single plasma nozzle of a plasma treatment station is used to treat the card surface prior to performing drop-on-demand printing on the card surface. The single plasma nozzle has a plasma discharge width that is less than the width of the card. The card and the plasma nozzle are moved relative to one another using a two direction control scheme during plasma treatment in order to be able to plasma treat a desired area of the card surface. The card and the plasma nozzle may also be moveable toward or away from one another to change the distance therebetween.

Claim (Index 20):
A plastic card printing system, comprising:\n an input that can hold a plurality of plastic cards prior to printing, the plastic cards having a width; a plasma treatment station located downstream from the input, the plasma treatment station having a plastic card travel path along which one of the plastic cards travels while in the plasma treatment station; the plasma treatment station includes a single plasma nozzle, the single plasma nozzle is oriented toward the travel path to discharge plasma onto a surface of one of the plastic cards in the plasma treatment station, the single plasma nozzle has a plasma discharge width that is less than the width of the plastic cards; the single plasma nozzle is movable during plasma treatment on one of the plastic cards in a direction that is perpendicular to a direction of travel of the plastic cards along the travel path and/or the single plasma nozzle is movable in a direction toward or away from the surface to alter the distance between the single plasma nozzle and the surface; a drop-on-demand printer located downstream of the input and the plasma treatment station, the drop-on-demand printer prints using ultra-violet radiation curable ink; at least one of an integrated circuit chip station and a magnetic stripe station located between the input and the plasma treatment station; and a transport system that transports the plastic cards through the plastic card printing system.
