ID Printers

Pentium 200 Computer , includes 15" monitor, 32MB RAM, 3.1GB hard disk, (1) 3.5" floppy drive, 2MB fast video card, keyboard, mouse, Windows 95, 12x CD-ROM drive, mini-tower case, Facial Touch-Up and Makeover System. computer is 'burned-in' for 72 hours, all software installed - computer input and output ports and all cables are individually labeled at both ends for very quick installation.

Custom Keyboard, The Custom Keyboard is the key to the simplicity of operation. In the Custom Keyboard all the functions pertaining to the Image/Heat Transfer systems are incorporated into single pushbutton commands - the functions of the commands are described in plain English on each button. For example, once you have framed an image with the camera by pressing the pushbutton "Capture Image" will automatically capture the image for use by the system. If you press command "Print Mirror Mug" your system will take the image you capture, create its mirror image instantly and then print it to the Mug printer and deliver an image ready to go to the Mug Press for transferring to mugs.

Fargo Primera Pro printer, This printer prints in 2 modes, standard and sublimation mode. We quote the printer with ribbon and supplies for the standard mode: 1 picture every 3 minutes. The same printer can also print in sublimation or 'photo-realistic' mode - 1 print every 15 minutes or so. We state this for your information but all prices listed for the systems are for STANDARD MODE ONLY.

Mug and Postcard Printer (FotoFUN!). Creates 4" x 6" prints. One print every 2 minutes (with computer listed above).

Kodak Printer. The Kodak 8650 printer delivers speed, power, and unsurpassed image quality. Used in the Las Vegas MoneyMaker System, the Kodak can print 50 full image pages per hour (when used in conjunction with the Turbo-Speed-Print for Kodak software). The unsurpassed image quality is due to the advanced print engine of this printer, the quality of the paper and the enhancements derived by the Turbo-Speed-Print for Kodak software. The Kodak 8650 was rated #1 by PC Magazine in a side by side comparison of all sublimation printers in the market.

Turbo-Speed-Print Sublimation Print Quality and Print Speed Enhancement Software. Our Turbo-Speed-Print software accelerates and enhanced printer characteristics. Turbo-Speed-Print is transparent to the user (i.e., you do not have to 'learn' about its operation as the application is built in the software of the system). However for a detailed description of its mode of operation, and for an understanding of the difference between standard printing mode and sublimation printing mode, please refer to the description and to the extended play/bulletin Of Bits and Pixels.
Turbo-Speed-Print comes in 3 versions: Turbo-Speed-Print for Primera Pro, Turbo-Speed-Print for Kodak, and Turbo-Speed-Print for FotoFUN! The version for the FotoFUN! also includes a collection of postcard/mug templates. For an example and meaning of 'template' please click here.

VideoFotoSNAP! This is our digitizer card to which the camera is connected. It has RCA and S-VHS inputs.

FlashPrint Software. The FlashPrint Software is the 'building block' of our systems and in particular, of their integration.
This means:

• It makes all our systems very simple to operate.
• It allows the use of the Custom Keyboard even with the Essential Systems. For the first time you can acquire with very little investment, the power of our full scale systems.
• You can upgrade from FlashPrint to the full Overlay System by simply acquiring and installing the additional Las Vegas Edition software -which automatically integrates with the existing resident software.
• Comes with a collection of 'Snap-In' pictures, particularly suited to the Essential Systems. Click here for example.

Las Vegas Edition. The Las Vegas Edition is the combination of the Full Power Video Overlay Software and the Video Digitizer. For a detailed description of its mode of operation, please see All's Well That Ends Video Overlaid.

Video Camera. We provide the most up-to-date camera available within the price range. We do not specify the brand as this technology is continuously evolving - we have an agreement with a major camera distributor in the US who lets us test the newest models. We evaluate cameras for picture quality, S-vHS cleanliness of signal and other features.

Image Manipulation Software (comes with the computer). Adobe Photoshop (full version) - lets user change or modify picture once acquired by video (if modification is requested by customer).

Monitor (27" S-VHS). To see is to sell if the product is good. The 27" S-VHS monitor, included in the Las Vegas MoneyMaker systems, performs 2 functions:

• To let the customer see him/herself while his/her picture is taken.
• To act as focus of attention to your system for walk-by traffic. It is a simple, yet powerful advertising tool. Intrigued by the process of overlaying, passing visitors become prospects. And the quality of the output makes them see the value of your product as a custom gift of class and elegance. A mug with a custom picture of a person and a decorative background will last forever.

Link to Monitor. The Link to Monitor or Scan Converter lets you see the image on BOTH the computer monitor and on the Large Screen Monitor.

Lighting System. The Lighting System consists of a set of professional photo-studio neutral light lamps and stands and an additional lamp to illuminate the backdrop.

Backdrop with Bench. The lightweight, easily assembled and disassembled backdrop is an ingredient of the overlay system. The sturdy, collapsible, and portable bench is positioned in front of the backdrop. Customer sits on the bench while his/her picture is taken.

Scanner. The one-pass, 24-bit full color flatbed scanner is used in 2 modes:

• To scan pictures brought in by customer for transferring to the final medium.
• To scan pictures to create your own masks as electronic backgrounds for the overlay system.

Fabulous Picture Collection. The Fabulous Picture Collection includes 50 magazine pictures already 'masked' and ready for super-imposition (please see All's Well That Ends Video Overlaid for an understanding of 'mask' and background of an overlay system).
