Definitions
- the invention relates to the use of an embossing film for printing on plastic surfaces, in particular plastic cards.
- the raised data above is generally colored with an embossing film.
- embossing film The structure and function of such an embossing film are explained in more detail below.
- an ink ribbon for coloring the data can be fed to the printing device during embossing.
- thermal printers have been developed to enable the data to be reproduced quickly in modern data processing and data transmission. These have a printhead which is brought into contact with a paper coated with thermosensitive ink. Thermal printers have the advantage that they can not only be used to print predetermined letters and numbers, but also, for example, images, letters and numbers of different sizes and fonts as well as Chinese and Arabic characters.
- the known thermal printers usually work according to the principle of a dot printer, in which a plurality of dots put together result in the characters to be printed.
- the print head has a large number of heating elements which are arranged in a row and print these points.
- the thermosensitive printing paper migrates at right angles to the row of heating elements.
- the heating elements are controlled individually, so that the color of the thermosensitive paper changes only on the controlled heating elements. In this way, the desired pattern is applied to the paper printed.
- Such a thermal print head is described, for example, in the brochure "Introduction to Thermal Print Head Technology" from Rohm.
- thermosensitive paper is neither UV nor chemical resistant, so that it changes color over time. Pressing on a protective layer is also not possible because of the elevated temperature required for this. Furthermore, the thermosensitive layer can hardly be printed with visible color, which is, however, for unchangeable, e.g. non-personal data is frequently requested.
- an ink ribbon for a thermal printer which consists of a carrier film and a layer of a mixture of a resin and a dye and is intended for printing on paper.
- an ink ribbon for a thermal printer In order to print plastic surfaces with a thermal print head using such ink ribbons, it is known to provide the ink layer with a sublimable dye, the detached color point on the plastic surface being irradiated with an infrared source in order to allow it to penetrate into the plastic surface (prospectus "A new method of non-impact printing ", page 10, from Armor SA, France).
- the arrangement is relatively complex due to the special ink ribbon and the infrared source and, moreover, only allows a relatively slow printing.
- stamping foils are also known. These are composite films made from a carrier film, e.g. consist of a polyester film with a generally wax-containing separating layer, a color layer adjoining the separating layer and a thermoreactive adhesive layer adjoining the colored layer, wherein a protective lacquer layer is usually also provided between the separating layer and the colored layer.
- a carrier film e.g. consist of a polyester film with a generally wax-containing separating layer, a color layer adjoining the separating layer and a thermoreactive adhesive layer adjoining the colored layer, wherein a protective lacquer layer is usually also provided between the separating layer and the colored layer.
- stamping foils are pressed on with hot stamping presses (so-called hot stamping) with a pressure of several 100 kp or even several tons, as for example in the brochure "stamping foil program", last page, from the company Leonhard Kurz, Princeth, from May 1978.
- the adhesive layer is activated so that the composite film is separated from the separating layer, the carrier film being removed and the color layer optionally provided with a protective coating layer adhering to the material in question.
- stamping foils are used for a wide variety of purposes. Thanks to their excellent adhesion, they will e.g. used to coat motor vehicle bumpers or bathtubs. They are also used for printing on a wide variety of materials, such as paper, leather, wood, etc. The printing is carried out using an elevated pressure stamp that can be heated to the activation temperature of the adhesive as a printing cliché.
- the invention is based on the task of printing on plastic surfaces quickly and as forgery-proof as possible using a simply structured printing arrangement. This object is achieved in that an embossing film is used as an ink transfer material for a device for printing on plastic surfaces with a thermal print head having individually controllable heating elements.
- a commercially available thermal print head can be used.
- the costs of the printing device used according to the invention are thereby many times lower than in the known devices described above for tamper-proof printing on plastic surfaces, in particular plastic identity or authorization cards.
- the high printing speed of the thermal print head is also used, i.e. for example, check cards can be personalized in a few seconds.
- stamping foils can also be successfully used as stamping foils, for example the stamping foils from Leonhard Kurz, Marieth. These can be metal foils in which e.g. a polyester film is used and is used as metal vapor-deposited high-purity aluminum. Other suitable metal foils are e.g. Real gold foils, chrome foils or bronze foils. Color foils, imitation gold foils etc. are also suitable.
- the reason for this unforeseeable circumstance may be that despite the short activation time the Heating elements are heated to a relatively high temperature, causing an explosive expansion of the carrier film at the relevant points. As a result, an additional pressure component is exerted on the detaching color point and an intimate connection of the same is brought about with the plastic surface.
- the material to be printed it is necessary for the material to be printed to have the same thickness, at least transversely to the transport direction.
- the surface roughness of the material to be printed should also be less than 10 ⁇ m. Otherwise, the exposure time and / or pressure of the printhead must be increased.
- any printing units can be produced with the device according to the invention, i.e. in addition to alphanumeric data e.g. also pictures or barcodes.
- the color of the embossing foil and thus the printing unit can also be chosen as desired.
- stamping foils on the market have such a high degree of adhesion that they are used today even for highly stressed components such as motor vehicle bumpers.
- This high level of liability also comes into its own according to the invention and has a correspondingly high level of security against forgery of the printing units produced according to the invention.
- identity or authorization cards provided with a magnetic tape or an IC can also be printed in a forgery-proof manner over the full area of the card.
- a commercially available stamping foil is formed by a composite foil which consists of a carrier layer 1, e.g. made of polyethylene, a separating layer 2, e.g. consists of wax or a wax-like material, a lacquer layer 3, a color layer 4 and an adhesive layer 5 which can be thermally activated, for example, at a temperature of approximately 110 ° C.
- the carrier layer can also consist of polyester. It usually has a thickness of 5 to 50 ⁇ m, preferably 12 to 25 ⁇ m.
- the separating layer 2 is made very thin as a release layer.
- the lacquer layer 3 has a thickness of 0.5 to 3 ⁇ m, preferably 1.25 to 1.50 ⁇ m.
- the color layer 4 can, for. B. by a metallization with a thickness of 0.01 to 0.10 microns, preferably 0.02 to 0.05 microns.
- the adhesive layer 5 is usually applied in several layers and has a thickness of 0.5 to 5 ⁇ m, preferably 1.5 to 3 ⁇ m.
- the lacquer layer 3 imparts the desired color.
- a silver color is produced.
- the color layer 4 is formed by a pigment dye, it has a thickness of a few ⁇ m.
- the structure of the stamping foil is e.g. B. also described in the brochure "Embossing on plastics" by Leonhard Kurz, Princeth.
- the adhesive layer 5 is activated, whereby it connects the color layer 4 including the protective lacquer layer 3 to the base, while the carrier film 1 dissolves while softening the wax layer 2.
- the printing device has, for example, a conveyor belt 8 running around rollers 6 and 7, on which the material 9 to be printed, e.g. Check cards, the thermal print head 10 is supplied. If they have a magnetizable carrier (e.g. a magnetic tape), the desired data can be magnetically recorded on the credit cards beforehand.
- a magnetizable carrier e.g. a magnetic tape
- two pressure rollers 11 and 12 are provided, which press the material 9 to be printed firmly against the conveyor belt 8, as well as a counter-pressure roller 13, which is arranged directly in front of the print head 10 and the material 9 lying on the conveyor belt 8 to be printed against when printing the bottom of the thermal print head 10 holds.
- the embossing film 14 is unwound from an unwind roll 15 and fed to the material 9 to be printed and the print head 10 via a deflection roller 16.
- the roller 6, which drives the conveyor belt 8, is in turn driven by a stepper motor 17.
- the stepper motor 17 is designed so that it e.g. one millimeter transport path of the material to be printed 9 carries out three steps.
- the print head 10 has on its underside a row of heating elements 18 which extends across the entire printing width and runs transversely to the transport direction of the material 9.
- the heating elements 18 can be resistors which are arranged on a ceramic substrate 19.
- the distance between adjacent heating elements is, for example, 0.3 mm, measured from the center of the heating element 18 to the center of the heating element 18.
- the heating elements 18 are connected to microchips 22 via conductor tracks 21 vapor-deposited on the ceramic substrate 19.
- the microchips 22 have a thickness that is greater than the board of the heating elements 18 via the ceramic substrate 19, which is approximately 0.3 to 0.4 mm. I.e. a flat, rigid or difficult to bend material, in particular a plastic card, can not be brought into contact with the heating elements 18 if the microchips 22 and the heating elements 18 are applied in one plane of the ceramic substrate 19.
- the thermal printhead 10 is preferably designed such that the heating elements 18 form the most protruding areas on the underside of the thermal printhead 10, ie further from the ceramic substrate 19 protrude than the microchips 22.
- This can be achieved, for example, by arranging the microchips 22 in a recess in the ceramic substrate 19 or by arranging the microchips on a surface of the Keiamik substrate 19, which is in line with the level of the lower part of the thermal print head, at which the heating elements are, includes an angle of preferably less than 90 ° to prevent sharp edges for the traces 21.
- the heating elements 18 reach the temperature required for the activation of the adhesive layer 5, e.g. 120 ° C with a current in the range of 1 mA in a few ms.
- the heating elements 18 can be controlled with an EDP system.
- the printhead 10 is about an axis extending transversely to the transport direction or parallel to the row of heating elements 18, as indicated in Figure 2 by the arrow 20, by means of a device not shown 'away from the conveyor belt 8 or the material 9 lying thereon and on this too pivotable. In this way, the print head is pressed against the material 9 to be printed between two transport steps and relieved during the transport of the material 9. The print head can also be relieved when the heating elements 18 are not activated.
- the control of the device with which the print head 10 is pressed against the material 9 to be printed is also carried out by means of the computer system.
- the printing device shown in Figures 2 and 3 can write in two coordinates.
- the x coordinate extends in the transport direction of the BAD ORIGIN to be printed Materials, the y coordinate at right angles to it.
- the data for the x coordinate i.e. the time grid, consist of one bit.
- the control and timing of the transport of the material to be printed takes place with the x-bit in such a way that, after the x-bit has been set, the motor 17 transports the material to be printed 9 past the printhead by, for example, 0.3 mm.
- the device which presses the print head against the material 9 is actuated in the interval between two successive transport steps.
- the heating elements 18 to be activated are activated and thereby heated due to the y-bit.
- Each controlled heating element 18 leads to a punctiform activation of the adhesive layer 5 and thus to a fixed point of the ink layer 4.
- the size of the distance between adjacent heating elements 18 and the size of the transport steps in the x direction determine the screen density of the printing unit produced with the device according to the invention .
- the printhead 10 is preheated to a constant temperature of 110 ° C. by means of an electrical resistance heater, that is to say 10 ° C. below the activation temperature of the adhesive layer 5 of the film 14. This reduces the heating time of the heating element 18. and enables faster and more even printing.
- FIG. 4 shows a plastic card that has been provided with alphanumeric data using the device.
- the device can also be designed such that the print head 10 is moved step by step over the material to be printed, which is useful, for example, when printing large objects.
- this embodiment of the device is applicable to the printing of skis, e.g. For example, depending on variable data, such as the manufacturing number , to apply a bar code.
