This is the way that i would recommend making your ID.  You can produce an ID of extremely high quality with almost all security features pretty cheaply. All that it requires is your TIME and effort.

Now, you may be wondering what is TESLIN.  Well it is a paper that is more of a plastic.  Regular printers can print on it (including Ink Jet for special Teslin) and Laser Printers can print on it extremely well.  

Firstly Before Making Your ID with Teslin you will need the proper supplies.  These will all be discussed in the tutorial in lots of detail.
