A method of producing an individualized security document with recesses

The invention relates to a method for producing an individualized security document (90) comprising the steps of: Providing a plurality of substrate layers; Collating the substrate layers to form a substrate layer stack; Laminating the collated in the substrate layer stack layers to a substrate Laminationskorper; Providing a digital printing device; Printing at least one mark region of an outer surface (19) of Laminationskorpers (11) by means of the digital printing means for storing individualizing information (18); wherein in the Laminationskorper (11) in an outer surface (19) in the at least one mark region (7) has a microstructure with a plurality of recesses (14) is embossed prior to printing and so occurs printing, that part of the printing properties of ink in penetrates the recesses (14).
