Definitions
- the invention relates to a copy-protected security print with an essentially regular background pattern of lines.
- documents to be secured against counterfeiting are printed with fine patterns which represent a background for other printing information.
- the background then consists, for example, of sets of lines, guilloches, dot patterns, grid structures and the like. Information is then printed on this more or less regular background pattern, for example texts, logos, numbers.
- Such security printing can be monochrome or colored. Colored security printing is preferable to black and white printing because it is less easy to copy. However, there are already highly developed color copiers that are capable of copying color security prints with deceptive authenticity. There are numerous measures to prevent or make counterfeiting of printed documents difficult.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a security print and a method for producing such a security print which cannot be copied on a commercially available photocopier without it being immediately apparent that it is a copy.
- a copy-protected security print in which at least one object, for example letters, numbers or the like, is made into an essentially regular background pattern consisting of lines, dots, raster structures or the like is incorporated in that the components of the background pattern are split up at the locations occupied by the object, ie a line is split up into several partial lines or a full circle into a ring.
- the background formed, for example, by a large number of parallel fine lines is usually only perceived as "gray” when viewed briefly. Only when taking a closer look can the individual lines of the background pattern be recognized as such.
- these components of the background pattern are now "split" at those points at which the "object” is incorporated.
- Object here means any character or a combination of characters, for example individual letters, texts, numbers, logos and the like.
- split means that a contiguous printed area, e.g. a line, is so divided, i.e. "Split" is that the connected area becomes at least two sub-areas, ie a connected line is replaced by two, three or more sub-lines.
- the total width of a group of two or more partial lines is not significantly wider than the connected line replaced by the partial lines.
- the objects incorporated into the background pattern according to one aspect of the invention are practically imperceptible to the naked eye. If such a print is copied with a commercially available copying machine, then the already thin lines, dots and the like of the come Background pattern also clearly and clearly on the copy, but in the places where the components of the background pattern are split, that is, in the places of the object, the copy is defective. Depending on the quality and functionality of the copier, the object appears much brighter than the rest
- each sub-line corresponds to approximately half the line thickness of the original line.
- the width of each sub-line is preferably approximately 40 to 45% of the original line width, and the distance between the pair-wise sub-lines is between one third and two thirds of the original line width.
- the background pattern can also have dots, that is to say full circles, alone or in combination with lines, rectangles and other background pattern components.
- the splitting takes place in such a way that the full circle is replaced by a ring, the area of the ring corresponding to approximately 50 to 150% of the circular area, preferably between 85 and 115%.
- the thickness of the ring that is the difference between the outer radius and the inner radius of the ring, corresponds to approximately half the diameter of the full circle.
- These guide values can also be transferred to other types of background patterns, for example squares.
- a full square can be replaced by a square ring or frame, the line width of which is then selected so that the area of the frame corresponds approximately to that of the full square.
- Other possible patterns are diamonds, ellipses and the like. These patterns can also be combined in almost any way.
- Copier depends. If you carry out a few experiments with a security print according to the invention and a commercially available copying machine and rotate the security print on the original glass plate by one piece with each copying process, you can see that the "object" does not appear equally strongly with every copying process.
- the orientation of the background pattern is preferably varied continuously or in steps between 0 ° and 360 °.
- the invention also relates to a method for producing a security print, comprising the following steps:
- a printing template for a security print can be produced using, for example, a laser engraving system.
- the print template can also be created by producing a film using an image setter and then transferring the film information.
- the original information about the background pattern is stored in a memory for the entire area of a security print.
- the print information about the object is stored in a further memory, for example the word "FALSE", which is to be incorporated at a specific point or at several points in the security print.
- the memory contents are then superimposed in such a way that the print information for the background pattern is replaced at the locations of the object by a modified print information according to which, for example, contiguous lines are replaced by partial lines which are parallel in pairs.
- the print template is then created.
- FIG. 1 shows an illustration of the manner in which a printing template for a security print according to the invention is produced, the finished security print being shown below in FIG. 1;
- 2a to 2d show sections of a security print, partially in different scales, in which the background pattern is formed by a dot screen;
- Fig. 5 shows a security print with line background pattern in different orientations.
- the security pattern according to the invention can be produced by various printing processes. In the present case it is called
- a platen or platen is created by film exposure by exposing a film to an image setter and then transferring the information from the original film.
- the preparation of the print information for security printing then includes the incorporation of "objects" into the background information.
- the desired background pattern information is first provided for the preparation of the print information, and the information about the object to be incorporated into the background pattern is also created.
- the "object” should be a text, namely the repeatedly repeated text "BEWARE OF FORGERY”.
- the combination of the information about the printing of the background pattern and the object "BEWARE OF FORGERY” is shown clearly in FIG. 1.
- Object "B” the lines of the linear background pattern are split into two thin partial lines.
- the sub-lines each have a thickness that corresponds to 40% of the original line width, with the space between the pair-wise sub-lines corresponding to 50% of the original line width. If one looks at the letter "B” at the bottom left in FIG. 1 from a distance of a few meters, the "B” is practically no longer recognizable as such, nor in the security print having the original size at the bottom right in FIG. 1 any information is recognizable.
- Partial lines are split up, appear white or at least considerably lighter than the rest of the background pattern. This can be seen in Fig. 1, where (in another embodiment to be described below) the word “FORGERY” and the letter “F” are clearly visible, while these "objects” are not recognizable in the original security print .
- the text "BEWARE OF FORGERY” is the object to be incorporated into the background pattern, which does not appear clearly in the original security print, but in a copy drawn from it.
- the "object” can also be understood as the background not occupied by the text “BEWARE OF FORGERY”, so that only this background, which appears gray in the middle in FIG. 1, is executed with split lines, while the areas in which the "Object” is located to be executed with solid lines.
- the background will of course appear bright, and the "BEWARE OF FORGERY" will appear in the original gray scale of the background pattern.
- the embodiment explained with reference to FIG. 1 fulfills the task not only in black and white copiers, but also in color copiers.
- the background pattern is a grid of dots made up of small, full circles.
- the object "T” is shown in Fig. 2a overlapped with the background pattern.
- FIG. 2c shows an enlarged detail of FIG. 2b. Two top rows and a left column of full circles are shown in FIG. 2c. The four elements at the bottom right in FIG. 2c are parts of the object incorporated into the background pattern.
- FIG. 2d shows an enlarged detail of FIG. 2c.
- the full circle 10 from FIG. 2c is shown at the top in FIG. 2d, the one at the bottom in FIG. 2d
- Ring 12 shown in Fig. 2c which ring is formed by "splitting" the full circle.
- the diameter dl of the full circle 10 is approximately twice as large as the thickness, that is to say the difference between the outer radius and the inner radius of the ring 12 (dl «2 • d2).
- the area AI of the full circle 10 corresponds approximately to the area A2 of the ring 12.
- FIG. 3 shows part of a line L and a pair of partial lines TL corresponding to the cutout at the bottom left in FIG. 1.
- the original line width is w1.
- the outer edges of the pair of sub-lines are slightly offset to the outside.
- Each sub-line has a thickness w2, the clear distance between the parallel sub-lines is w3. It has proven to be expedient if the two partial lines have the same width w2 and the value of w2 corresponds to approximately 40 to 45% of the original line width w1.
- FIG. 4a schematically shows the embodiment according to FIG. 3 again, in which a line is split into two parallel partial lines.
- FIG. 4b shows the embodiment according to FIG. 2, in which a full circle is split into a ring of approximately the same area size.
- 4c shows a further embodiment in which the background pattern is formed by a grid of full squares.
- the full square is replaced by a square ring or square frame.
- the area of the frame corresponds approximately to that of the full square.
- FIGS. 4b, 4c and 4d shows a rombus-shaped component of a background pattern, which is split into a hollow rombus at the locations of an object, the dimensions here also being selected such that the area contents of the original background pattern component and split part of the background pattern are about the same size.
- the "line width" of the split elements shown in FIGS. 4b, 4c and 4d corresponds to approximately half the diameter or the width / length of the original element.
- FIG. 4e shows a further embodiment of the invention.
- the original line pattern is not split into two, but three parallel partial lines.
- Other background patterns with corresponding splits are also conceivable.
- the objects incorporated into the background pattern are practically invisible to the naked eye, they only appear in the copy drawn from the original security print.
- the extent to which the object appears in the copy depends, among other things, on the nature of the copier and the orientation of the background pattern with respect to the light scanning direction in the copier.
- a line-shaped background pattern is arranged in different orientations.
- 5 shows a security print with a linear background pattern, the background pattern being divided into five segments. In each segment, the main direction or orientation of the lines of the background pattern is in a different direction. Overall, the lines of the background pattern are offset by 72 ° from sector to sector.
- the letter T can be seen in FIG. 5 above, which is incorporated in all five sectors according to the orientation of the lines of the background pattern, depending on how the original security print on the original glass plate of the copier is oriented, the individual objects enter the different sectors appear differently.
