A system for providing a personal booklet, such as a passport, with a picture of the face and personal data of the bookholder to thereby provide the booklet holder's identity. The system includes entering a picture of the face of an applicant, the picture being attached to an application form, as a figure image into an image composing device, entering personal data of the applicant entered in the application form as a character image, providing a composite image of the figure and character images, printing the composite image onto a thermal transfer type photosensitive printing paper, transfering the printed composite image onto an image receiving layer coated on a transparent cover sheet bound in the booklet, and sandwiching the image receiving material layer between a supporting sheet bound in the booklet next to the transparent cover sheet and the transparent cover sheet.

The system includes entering a picture of the face of an applicant, the picture being attached to an application form, as a figure image into an image composing device, entering personal data of the applicant entered in the application form as an character image, producing a composite image of the figure and character images, printing the composite image onto a thermal transfer type photosensitive printing paper, transfering the printed composite image onto an image receiving layer coated on a transparent cover sheet bound in the booklet, and sandwiching the image receiving material layer between a supporting sheet bound in the booklet next to the transparent cover sheet and the transparent cover sheet.

Apparatus for making booklets with photographs

A card, or a seal, with a picture includes a sheet with an image transferred to an image receiving layer coated on a transparent sheet in a heat-transferring manner, and a sheet-like base material to which the image receiving layer is to be attached with an adhesive layer. The card or the seal is made by a method which includes the steps of forming a mirror image of an original in the photosensitive layer of a photosensitive material superposing the sheet formed with the image on an image receiving layer of an image receiving sheet so as to superpose the photosensitive layer on and adhere the photosensitive layer to an image receiving layer of the image receiving sheet, and heat-developing and heat transferring the image in the photosensitive layer onto the image receiving layer. Then, photographic material is removed from the image receiving sheet, and the image receiving sheet is put on the sheet-like base material so as to superpose the image receiving layer on and adhere the image receiving layer to the sheet-like base material through an adhesive layer. Finally, the supporting sheet is removed from the image receiving sheet.

Picture card and method of making the same

A booklet, such as a passport, for providing the identity of the holder thereof, with a picture of the face and personal data of the bookholder, includes transparent and supporting sheets bound in the booklet separately from and adjacent to each other. Furthermore, an image receiving layer is formed on one surface of one of the separate transparent and supporting sheets and an optically readable data printing section is provided on either one of the transparent and supporting sheets where optically readable personal data of said booklet holder is printed. Also, an adhesive layer is provided for adhering the transparent and supporting sheets together to sandwich the image receiving layer therebetween after having formed a composite image of the picture and personal data in the image receiving layer.

Booklet with photograph

A photograph printing apparatus arranged to print a main picture and an illustration picture in a single frame on printing paper. The apparatus has a main picture negative film mount for carrying a negative film having the main picture and an illustration negative film mount for carrying a negative film having the illustration picture. The former film mount and the latter film mount are arranged to interlockingly move in the same direction to alternatively travel toward and away from the optical axis of exposure light. This arrangement enables rapid printing of photographs.
