A method of producing a personal information-bearing card, eg an ID card, includes printing an image (12), minor image fashion, by means of a laser printer (18) onto a surface (20) of a thermoplastic polyester (eg PET) carrier film (22) which has a thickness of 70 - 150 mu m; placing said image-bearing surface on and in flat abutment with a surface of a polymeric receiver substrate (24); and applying heat and pressure to the carrier film and the substrate while in flat abutment with each other thereby transferring the image from the carrier film onto the abutting surface of the substrate. The transfer is effected at a temperature of 135 DEG C - 170 DEG C. The substrate may be of a thermoplastic polymeric material, eg PVC, having a melting point of 90 DEG C - 200 DEG C, or may be in the form of a preproduced blank card. The carrier film is removed from the substrate after image transfer and the substrate is then laminated with at least one sheet of transparent material. <IMAGE> |
