Abstract: A plurality of different kinds of information, for example, full-color photographic image information and attribute information such as a name, date of birth, etc., are input by use of a CCD scanner (1a), a camera (1b), a keyboard (1c), a mouse (1d), etc., with coordinate information assigned to each piece of information. The input pieces of information are matched with each other with reference to the coordinate information, and an arrangement of the coordinated information is determined with reference to layout information prepared separately, and then the information is printed out onto a card substrate. Thus, an ID card can be made accurately and efficiently. In addition, forgery prevention processing is applied by simultaneously inputting forgery prevention information and further falsification prevention processing is applied by carrying out emboss processing, thereby enabling an improvement in the security of the ID card.
