A method of processing a plastic identification document substrate to create a personalized plastic identification document, comprising:
- using a first laser of a document processing system to form a lens structure on the plastic identification document substrate, wherein the first laser is a CO2 laser;
- and
- thereafter using a second laser of the document processing system to form an image of an intended holder of the personalized plastic identification document on the plastic identification document substrate along with text within the image, wherein the image and the text are positioned to at least partially underlie the lens structure.
A method of processing a plastic identification document substrate to create a personalized plastic identification document, comprising:
- using a laser to form a lens structure on the plastic identification document substrate;
- and
- thereafter using a laser to form an image of an intended holder of the personalized plastic identification document on the plastic identification document substrate along with text within the image, wherein the image and the text are positioned to at least partially underlie the lens structure,
- wherein the laser used to form the lens structure is a CO2 laser, and the laser used to form the image and the text is a non-CO2 laser.
