ABSTRACT:
In direct transfer, a card is transported to an image forming portion, same size, reduced or gradation corrected image data is used for forming an image to the entire surface of at least one side of a card. In indirect transfer, intermediate transfer film is transported to an image forming portion, and same size, reduced or gradation corrected image data is used to form images on the intermediate transfer film, then while transporting the intermediate transfer film to a transfer portion, a card is also transported to the transfer portion where images formed on the intermediate transfer film are transferred to the entire area of at least one side of the card. Image data size is varied. By switching between a direct transfer method and an indirect transfer method makes either transfer method applicable thereby improving printer user convenience, enables the forming of beautiful printing to the entire print surface, lowers running costs and enables high applicability of the printing system.
