In a method of forming an ink-receptive card substrate, an ink-receptive material
is provided. The ink-receptive material includes a backing layer and an ink-receptive
coating on a surface of the backing layer. Next, a card member is provided. Finally,
the ink-receptive material is laminated to a surface of the card member with the
ink-receptive coating facing the surface of the card member. This results in the
bonding of the ink-receptive coating to the surface of the card member. Additional
embodiments of the present invention are directed to devices that are configured
to perform the above-identified method.
