Abstract
Abstract A novel method of producing a laminated data-bearing card which involves photographing a subject together with a keypunched record card relating to the subject upon positive diffusion transfer film. The card is photographed against a dark background so that dark marks are recorded upon the positive print which marks correspond to the punched holes. The positive print is thereafter laminated to a protective cover sheet and is scanned by a code reader which in turn drives a printer which automatically embosses indicia such as a social security number corresponding to the code upon the card.
