Tombstone Cards Files Patent Application for Web-Based Customization Software
Tombstone Cards (OTCBB: TMCI) has filed a patent application for OIEPrint™,
the company’s Web-based graphics customization
software, with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
Developed over the last two years, OIEPrint is a Web-based application
that allows individuals to create high-resolution, print-ready graphics.
Designed for use by print shops and product customizers, OIEPrint users
can start the design process by selecting from a variety of customizable
templates, upload photos, logos and graphics from their desktop files
and then add Rich Text or even Text-Along-a-Path. The final output not
only provides print-ready graphics at 300 dpi (dots per inch) but saves
the design work in separate layers in the SQL database for future
editing.
OIEPrint is currently in its first iteration, with Version 2.0 planned
for public release in early February, 2008. Both stand-alone and hosted
versions will be available.
“OIEPrint has proven its versatility, depth
and capability as a powerful online tool in the custom playing card
market,” said John Harris, Tombstone Cards
president. “We are now expanding our
offerings, seeking technology partners and entering new markets because
we know that our revolutionary software works and can attract a wide
variety of customers.”
“The demand for online customization tools
will continue to grow exponentially as global mass-market penetration of
high-speed Internet access increases,” said
Neil Cox, Tombstone Cards chairman and CFO. “Clearly,
OIEPrint helps meet that demand.”
