Card issuing system, computer-readable storage medium storing print program for card issuing system, and printing method of card issuing system
According to an embodiment, a card issuing system which issues cards includes: a print image generation portion which generates print data to perform printing on the card; an overcoat image generation portion which generates overcoat data, which is data on an overcoat for the print data generated by the print image generation portion; and a printing portion which performs printing of the print data generated by the print image generation portion, and the overcoat data generated by the overcoat image generation portion on the card. The overcoat image generation portion generates the overcoat data with which an area where a design quality is required in the print data is subjected to overcoating based on pixels to be printed by the print data, and an area where durability is required in the print data is subjected to overcoating which covers the area.
1. A card issuing system which issues cards, the card issuing system comprising:
a print image generation portion which generates print data to perform printing on the card;
an overcoat image generation portion which generates overcoat data, which is data on an overcoat for the print data generated by the print image generation portion; and
a printing portion which performs printing of the print data generated by the print image generation portion, and the overcoat data generated by the overcoat image generation portion on the card, wherein
the overcoat image generation portion generates the overcoat data with which an area where a design quality is required in the print data is subjected to overcoating based on pixels to be printed by the print data, and an area where durability is required in the print data is subjected to overcoating which covers the area where durability is required.
2. The card issuing system according to claim 1 , further comprising a combining portion which combines at least either of a plurality of pieces of the print data and a plurality of pieces of the overcoat data, wherein
the overcoat image generation portion determines, for each piece of the print data to be combined among the plurality of pieces of the print data, whether to perform the overcoating based on the pixels, or perform the overcoating which covers the area, and
the combining portion combines pieces of the overcoat data corresponding to the respective pieces of the print data.
3. The card issuing system according to claim 2 , wherein the overcoat image generation portion generates the overcoat data which applies, for the area where a design quality is required, an overcoat based on pixels of a character or a logo included in the print data.
4. The card issuing system according to claim 3 , wherein the overcoat image generation portion acquires a setting of the card accommodated in a hopper, and changes a strength of a coating for each of the cards according to the acquired setting.
5. The card issuing system according to claim 2 , wherein the overcoat image generation portion acquires a setting of the card accommodated in a hopper, and changes a strength of a coating for each of the cards according to the acquired setting.
6. The card issuing system according to claim 1 , wherein the overcoat image generation portion generates the overcoat data which applies, for the area where a design quality is required, an overcoat based on pixels of a character or a logo included in the print data.
7. The card issuing system according to claim 6 , wherein the overcoat image generation portion acquires a setting of the card accommodated in a hopper, and changes a strength of a coating for each of the cards according to the acquired setting.
8. The card issuing system according to claim 1 , wherein the overcoat image generation portion acquires a setting of the card accommodated in a hopper, and changes a strength of a coating for each of the cards according to the acquired setting.
9. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a print program executed in a card issuing system which issues cards, the print program for the card issuing system causing the card issuing system to:
generate print data to perform printing on the card;
generate overcoat data, which is data on an overcoat for the print data that has been generated;
generate the overcoat data with which an area where a design quality is required in the print data is subjected to overcoating based on pixels to be printed by the print data, and an area where durability is required in the print data is subjected to overcoating which covers the area where durability is required; and
perform printing of the print data and the overcoat data that have been generated.
10. A printing method executed by a card issuing system which issues cards, in which the card issuing system performs the printing method, the printing method of the card issuing system comprising:
generating print data to perform printing on the card;
generating overcoat data, which is data on an overcoat for the print data that has been generated;
generating the overcoat data with which an area where a design quality is required in the print data is subjected to overcoating based on pixels to be printed by the print data, and an area where durability is required in the print data is subjected to overcoating which covers the area where durability is required; and
performing printing of the print data and the overcoat data that have been generated on the card.
