A method for making documents, in particular identifying documents, such as passports and identity cards, comprises the steps of providing a set of signals, particularly digital signals, defining an image to be printed on the document; providing a temporary substrate; depositing on said temporary substrate coloring matters, whereby to produce thereon said image, by the conventional laser printing method; provisionally setting said image; juxtaposing said temporary substrate with its face carrying said image in contact with the rear face of a transparent substrate; transferring said image from said temporary substrate to said transparent substrate, whereby the said image is applied to said transparent substrate rear face and is visible through said transparent substrate from the front face thereof; removing said temporary substrate; and binding said transparent substrate, by lamination, to other components of the document to be produced. When the document is in booklet form, the binding of the transparent substrate effected by juxtaposing it to a final substrate that is part of the booklet and laminating it in contact with said final substrate. When the document is a card, the method also comprises providing a card blank which comprises a front and back leaf, one or both of which are transparent, and laminating said leaves, whereby to produce a card, wherein at least one printed image is visible from its front face. |
