Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2007048783A1] The invention relates to a method for producing and processing an image on a card substrate of an identification card, said method comprising the following steps: a colour image is printed on a surface of the card substrate by means of a printer; the surface of the printed image is optically scanned, and individual image components of the printed image, which differ from each other in the colour characteristics thereof, are identified by means of an optical identification and evaluation unit; co-ordinates of boundary lines, arranged between the identified image components and representing the contours of the image components, are calculated by means of a calculation unit; and the card substrate material beneath the surface of a surface layer of the card substrate is heated in a linear manner along the boundary line by displacing a laser along the surface plane of the card substrate using the calculated co-ordinates. An identification card comprising a colour image is displayed.
