Card and process for producing the same

摘要

A process for producing a card comprising: recording variable data comprising photographic data on at least one selected from a surface of a center core to be used for the card, and a back surface of an oversheet in a sheet form supplied from a roll thereof, by variable data recording means comprising a sublimation type thermal transfer device which uses a thermal transfer sheet having a dye layer imparted with a releasability, superposing the center core and the oversheet to form an integral laminate; cutting the integral laminate into a card form having a predetermined size. The present invention also provides a process for producing a card comprising: recording variable data comprising photographic data on at least a surface of a center core to be used for the card by variable data recording means comprising a sublimation type thermal transfer device which uses a thermal transfer sheet having an image-receiving layer; superposing the center core and an oversheet in a sheet form supplied form a roll thereof to form an integral laminate; and cutting the integral laminate into a card form having a predetermined size. According to the present invention, the recording of variable data including photographic data may be automated and simplified, thereby to improve the productivity. Further, the thus produced card according to the present invention is excellent in durability since the recorded surface thereof is covered with an oversheet.
