Lexmark, Mentalix deliver first FBI-certified color fingerprint card printer solution for law enforcemenT
LEXINGTON, Ky., March 07 Lexmark International, Inc., is collaborating with fingerprint systemvendor Mentalix, Inc., to give law enforcement agencies the first color printing solution for fingerprint card printers to be certified by the FBI.
Mentalix’s CardPrint Application Program Interface (API) Toolkit works on the Lexmark C524 and C534 color laser printer families and allows law enforcement officials to print color imaging, color boundaries and fingerprint images on a single sheet of blank card stock to speed up processes and save costs. Currently, fingerprint cards have pre-printed boundaries that make it difficult to combine fingerprints with other documents, and imaging is usually attached in a separate document with staples or a paper clip that can be easily separated or lost.This solution has received certification from the FBI and can be tailored to support custom fingerprint card templates. The CardPrint API Toolkit runs on Microsoft(R) Windows XP Professional and is also FBI-certified for use with the Lexmark T640 monochrome laser printer family for customers that only need to print in black and white. Fingerprints printed with the toolkit on the T640 family, C524 or C534 will be accepted by the FBI for comparisons with the Bureau’s Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System (IAFIS).”We’ve already had a positive response to this breakthrough from our customers, particularly those who would like to print color imaging directly on their fingerprint cards,” said Brian Gross, president of Mentalix. “This solution helps agencies cut costs because they can print a variety of fingerprint card types on the same raw card stock and no longer have to keep different card types and sizes in their office inventory.” “Lexmark’s combination of vertical industry expertise and our technology ownership allows us to develop integrated, customized solutions for our customers that help them increase productivity and reduce costs,” said Paul Rooke, Lexmark executive vice president and president of its Printing Solutions and Services Division. “We are pleased to partner with Mentalix to deliver this advanced capability for law enforcement customers.”
