Abstract:
A process for the production of an ID- card, using a color photographic silver halide material having at least one blue-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer containing at least one yellow coupler, at least one green-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer containing at least one magenta coupler and at least one red-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer containing at least one cyan coupler on a reflective support comprising a zone I in which information is recorded in the form of a colored image and a zone II in which data readable by infra-red light are recorded, comprising the following processing steps:(a) exposure,(b) development with a color developer,(c) treatment with H.sub.2 O.sub.2 or a compound releasing H.sub.2 O.sub.2,(d) fixing without prior or concomitant bleaching,(e) washing or stabilizing and(f) drying,in which steps (b) and (c) may be combined to a single step, characterized in that steps (a) and (b) are carried out in such a manner that the silver maximum density in zone II after processing is at least 0.35 measured under reflection at 850 nm, and the silver maximum density in zone I, after processing is at most 0.5 in areas having a neutral color density of at most 1.5, and is at most 0.4 in areas having a yellow, magenta or cyan color separation density of at most 1.5, measured under reflection at 850 nm.
