Method for producing an identification document Field of application of the invention

The present invention relates to the production of identification documents, eg driver's licenses or identity cards, starting from a photocopy or original image of the person to whom the document is to relate.

Characteristic of the known technical solutions

In the production of driver's licenses or other similar documents, one goes from a photograph as reproduced together with the person's data on a reproduction film. This is copied onto black-and-white photographic paper, which after development is provided with a mechanical overprint in color in the form of a pattern, of markings or the like with the aid of a printing block. The product obtained can then be provided with a plastic layer on one or both sides become.

This method thus requires both a photographic reproduction on paper and a mechanical printing process, which is an expensive operation.

Object of the invention

Explanation of the essence of the invention

The invention is based on the object of rotating the entire production OQr identification document by photographic means. The invention is based essentially on the idea of using a multicolor photographic paper instead of a black-and-white photographic paper, or of attaching patterns, markings or the like in color by photographic reproduction instead of printing by mechanical means.

If the aforesaid reproduction or original image is executed in black and white, copying of the black-and-white reproduction or original image is performed under such filtering of the light that black-and-white reproduction is obtained on the multicolor paper. Said pattern may be a security pattern consisting of several colors.

The patterns, markings or the like are copied over a part dsr of the image of the person occupied surface or over the entire surface.

For example ^ EADERSHIP

It is therefore assumed that a black-and-white or color reproduction of an image or an original image of the person concerned and of a relevant data reproducing text. Original illustration is an unreproduced photographic image of the person concerned. This reproduction or original image is copied onto a multicolor photographic paper. In this case, rotary filtering of the light can be effected on the

Multi-color paper a black-white or a t-arbvviedergabe is obtained. Thereafter, a reproduction of the intended color pattern is copied on the paper, the copying being carried out, of course, under such conditions that the desired color reproduction is obtained. The paper is then developed to obtain a copy of the image and text, as well as a pattern presented in one or more colors, including colored markings or the like.

Thus, in practicing the present invention, an image of the subject may consist of either a photographic positive carried out in black-and-white or color or a photographic negative discharged in black-and-white or color.

The named patterns, markings or the like can have any desired shape and color.

A particularly preferred embodiment is the use of a usually in shape and color complicated so-called. Security pattern as a pattern.

A particularly advantageous method according to the invention is also the pasting of a security pattern of braids od. Like. Over a part or over the whole area occupied by the image of the person surface.

The invention further provides the possibility of copying color transitions of any color and shape.

In conventional security pattern manufacturing process, color transitions are along a straight line

possible because the paper is moved during the printing process along a straight paper web.

The present invention thus teaches a method by which very complicated documents can be produced whose counterfeiting is extremely difficult.

This product can then be further processed in the usual way by plastic coating or lamination so that a finished identity card od. Like. Created.
