Few years ago, I had a photo studio. In that, there were colour printers for taking prints of photos, ID cards, art works and so on. I was mainly enjoying printing of photos which were taken by me in my studio, like pass ports and large blowups of photos of small children.
Sometimes, I used to give the printouts to the customers the next day, as there were too many orders. Because of this, I was working up to 11.PM in my studio.
One night, at about 10.30 PM, some 8 auto drivers came to my studio for getting ID card printed. This was usual thing but they me to print the photo of some other person on their ID and thus to print a FAKE ID. I refused politely, but they started shouting at me saying “ you are having the printing shop and your work is to print whatever the customer want you to print, not to tell them moral and all”. As I was firmly refused to print, they moved away, saying” yours is not the only shop, there are hundreds of shops in the city, someone will oblige”. So, I was relieved at 11.PM.
Anyone having such experiences?

I think you did the right thing. I don't own a print shop. But My mother tried to print out a fake id too using my computer. I got her to stop.

I don't own a printing business, but I would definitely decline them as a customer. I would be cautious though as it was late at night. If they had a weapon or something, I'd continue but call the cops to notify.

No, I never had such experience. Our ID cannot be faked, because the police takes the photo and it's printed directly on a plastic paper very similar to a credit card. You cannot photocopy and paste a photo on a ID, it would show immediately that it's a fake.
