Selon la solution de l'invention, lors de la création d'une première matière imprimée conçue de telle sorte que l'utilisateur visualise directement une image formée sur le côté utilisateur d'un support transparent (seconde carte Ca2), avec le support transparent en tant qu'arrière-plan, des premières données d'impression MI sont générées à partir de l'ID de données d'image et sont imprimées sur le support de telle sorte que, lorsque l'image formée sur le support est visualisée par l'utilisateur, l'image possède la même orientation que l'ID de données d'image, et lors de la création d'une seconde matière imprimée conçue de telle sorte que l'image est vue à travers le support, des secondes données d'impression NI sont générées à partir de l'ID de données d'image de façon à être une image miroir des premières données d'impression MI, et sont imprimées sur le support.
