I located an article at...
http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0WPB/is_1999_June_28/ai_55094242#
which talks about a company called Make Software that created Trump
Club Photo Booths that printed playing cards. I am trying to locate
website and contact information about Make Software and this photo
booth.A Canadian company called General Amusement, Inc provides a photo of
the Trump Club booth, and some information about it:
General Amusement, Inc: Card Machines

http://ent828.com/card/trump_club.htm
Trump Club print paper is still available from General Amusement:

Here's General Amusement's contact info:
General Amusement Inc.

Email: gai@telus.net
Tel: (604) 231-8963 Fax: (604) 231-8962
Although the Trump Club booth is apparently a thing of the past, Make
Software is a Japanese company which is still in the business of
making youth-oriented devices that print photos on different kinds of
cards.
Here you can see some of the current products offered by Make Software:

These Japanese phone numbers for Make Software are listed on the website:
06-6354-6422
03-5835-0817
And the site lists these fax numbers:
06-6354-6451
03-5835-0177
Make Software's online presence is in the Japanese language. If you do
not speak Japanese, the best way to contact them may be to send a fax
or email in English. Translators are readily available in Japan, and
I'm sure they'll be able to handle your request.
The website lists this email address for "Questions from overseas":
office@makesoft.co.jp

What an interesting hunt! After several Google searches led me to
nothing useful, I hit paydirt by using this search string, which led
me to General Amusement, Inc:
Google Web Search: "trump club" photo "playing card"
://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22trump+club%22+photo+%22playing+card%22
I found the Make Software website with this search string:
Google Web Search: "make software inc"
://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22make+software+inc%22
I hope this is helpful!

I had the "comment" field open before I found the contact information
which I posted above, and I should have closed it and selected the
