A method of preparing an ID card 7 comprises providing one or more forms 3 carrying alphanumeric information 4 relating to the card holder, the multi-colour facial image of the holders 5, and optionally, his or her signature 6 and/or fingerprint. The or each form 3 is fed through a colour copier 1 supplied with a previously security printed record sheet 2. A reproduction of the alphanumerical information and multi-colour reproduction of the image of the holder is recorded on the record sheet. The card may be laminated in plastic. The text information may be printed in different colours to the original - e.g. black printed as red - or in a colour pattern. Text may be recognized by OCR techniques, and printed in a different font. <IMAGE> |
