Description

L'invention concerne une machine d'impression à la bobine ou à la feuille, de papiers-valeurs, en particulier de billets de banque, comprenant un groupe d'impression principal.The invention relates to a machine for printing with the roll or sheet, of securities, in individual banknotes, including a group main print.

De telles machines sont connues dans l'état de la technique. La demande de brevet européen N° 0 132 858, par exemple, décrit une machine permettant l'impression sur chaque côté du papier d'une image ayant des couleurs juxtaposées selon plusieurs procédés d'impression différents, notamment selon le procédé communément appelé "orlof-offset", ou selon le procédé offset. En mode d'impression "offset-offset", chaque côté de la feuille reçoit donc une impression multicolore par un procédé offset.Such machines are known in the state of the art. technical. European patent application No. 0 132 858, for example, describes a machine for printing on each side of the paper of an image with colors juxtaposed according to several processes different printing methods, in particular according to the process commonly called "orlof-offset", or according to the process offset. In offset-offset printing mode, each side of the sheet therefore receives an impression multicolored by an offset process.

Selon le procédé offset connu et décrit, le dessin complet est composé de dessins partiels de couleurs différentes portés par des plaques d'impression elles-mêmes montées sur des cylindres porte-plaques qui permettent la superposition des dessins et des couleurs en registre sur un cylindre porte-blanchets, contre lequel le papier à imprimer est ensuite pressé. Le nombre de plaques d'impression, et par conséquent de cylindres porte-plaques est égal au nombre de couleurs et de dessins différents composant l'image multicolore devant être imprimée. Dans le cas d'une machine d'impression recto-verso simultanée, deux cylindres porte-blanchets reçoivent chacun une image multicolore et le papier à imprimer passe ensuite les deux cylindres pour le transfert des images.According to the known and described offset process, the drawing complete is composed of partial color drawings different carried by printing plates themselves mounted on plate cylinders which allow the superimposition of designs and colors in register on a blanket cylinder, against which the paper to be printed is then pressed. The number of printing plates, and therefore plate cylinders is equal to the number of colors and different drawings making up the multicolored image to be printed. In the case of a machine two-sided printing, two cylinders blanket holders each receive a multicolored image and the paper to be printed then passes the two cylinders for transferring images.

Cette machine comporte certains désavantages notamment le fait que le nombre de combinaisons de couleurs est limité par la taille des cylindres porte-blanchets et l'encombrement des dispositifs d'encrage.This machine has certain disadvantages including the fact that the number of color combinations is limited by the size of the blanket cylinders and the size of the inking devices.

Une autre machine d'impression similaire a été décrite dans la demande de brevet EP 0 343 105. Cette machine d'impression permet une impression multicolore simultanée recto-verso par le procédé communément appelé "orlof-offset". Selon ce procédé, un cylindre collecteur est encré par une pluralité de cylindres sélecteurs de couleurs dont le nombre est égal au nombre de couleurs différentes d'une image donnée. Chaque cylindre sélecteur comporte des zones découpées en un relief qui représente les parties de l'image à colorer dans une couleur donnée. L'image appliquée sur le cylindre collecteur par les cylindres sélecteurs est ensuite transférée, via un cylindre porte-plaques, sur un cylindre porte-blanchets qui imprime finalement l'image sur le papier. Pour une impression recto-verso simultanée, on utilise ainsi deux cylindres collecteurs, un par côté de feuille, avec leurs cylindres sélecteurs propres, et deux cylindre porte-blanchets entre lesquels le papier passe et est imprimé. De manière connue, chaque impression recto ou verso peut comporter jusqu'à 4 couleurs différentes. Another similar printing machine has been described in patent application EP 0 343 105. This machine printing allows multi-color printing simultaneous double-sided by the process commonly called "orlof-offset". According to this process, a cylinder collector is inked by a plurality of cylinders color pickers whose number is equal to number of different colors in a given image. Each selector cylinder has cut zones in a relief which represents the parts of the image to color in a given color. The image applied to the collecting cylinder by the selector cylinders is then transferred, via a plate cylinder, to a blanket cylinder which finally prints the image on paper. For two-sided printing two cylinders are used simultaneously collectors, one per sheet side, with their clean selector cylinders, and two blanket cylinders between which the paper passes and is printed. In known manner, each front or back can have up to 4 different colors.

Cette machine connue comprend en outre un dispositif d'encrage supplémentaire de l'un ou de l'autre des cylindres porte-blanchets, voire même des deux simultanément, de manière à ajouter une couleur supplémentaire sur l'une ou l'autre des faces du papier et ainsi augmenter le facteur de sécurité des papiers-valeurs finalement imprimés. Ce dispositif d'encrage supplémentaire comporte en particulier un cylindre porte-plaques, similaire au cylindre porte-plaques utilisé dans le procédé "orlof-offset", qui transfère l'encre d'une couleur donnée du cylindre collecteur sur le cylindre porte-blanchets. Le dispositif d'encrage supplémentaire se place à côté du dispositif d'encrage déjà en place et transfère l'encre sur les cylindres porte-blanchets déjà existant de la machine d'impression.This known machine also comprises a device additional inking of either blanket cylinders, or even both simultaneously, so as to add a color additional on either side of the paper and thus increase the security factor of securities finally printed. This inking device additional includes in particular a cylinder plate holder, similar to the plate cylinder used in the "orlof-offset" process, which transfers the ink of a given color of the collecting cylinder on the blanket cylinder. The inking device additional is placed next to the anchoring device already in place and transfers ink to the cylinders machine already existing blanket holder printing.

Le désavantage de cette machine est que le nombre de possibilités d'impression, en particulier le nombre de couleurs à disposition, est toujours limité par la taille des cylindres porte-blanchets et par l'encombrement des dispositifs d'encrage. De plus, l'utilisation des cylindres porte-blanchets déjà en place limite les techniques d'impression différentes que l'on pourrait employer pour la ou les couleurs supplémentaires.The disadvantage of this machine is that the number of printing possibilities, in particular the number of colors available, is always limited by the size of the blanket cylinders and by the size of the inking devices. Moreover, the use of the blanket cylinders already in place limits different printing techniques that we could use for the color (s) additional.

Le but de l'invention est d'améliorer les machines connues dans l'état de la technique. The object of the invention is to improve the machines known in the state of the art.

L'invention a plus particulièrement pour but de proposer une machine d'impression permettant d'augmenter les possibilités d'impression de papiers-valeurs, à la bobine ou à la feuille, de manière à améliorer le facteur de sécurité de ceux-ci et de diversifier les possibilités d'utilisation de techniques d'impression différentes et de couleurs différentes. La falsification des papiers-valeurs est ainsi rendue plus compliquée et les moyens devant être mis en oeuvre par des personnes ayant l'intention de falsifier les papiers-valeurs deviennent toujours plus importants.The object of the invention is more particularly to propose a printing machine allowing increase the possibilities of printing securities, on a roll or sheet, so that improve the safety factor of these and diversify the possibilities of using different printing techniques and colors different. The falsification of securities is thus made more complicated and the means to be implemented by people who intend to falsifying securities becoming ever more important.

La machine selon l'invention est caractérisé en ce qu'elle comprend un groupe d'impression additionnel indépendant placé en amont du groupe d'impression principal dans le sens de passage du papier et permettant l'impression sur toute la largeur du papier d'un motif dans au moins une couleur prédéterminée avant le passage du papier dans le groupe d'impression principal de la machine.The machine according to the invention is characterized in that that it includes an additional printing unit independent placed upstream of the printing unit main in the direction of paper flow and allowing printing across the full width of the paper a pattern in at least one predetermined color before the paper passes through the printing unit main of the machine.

Les revendications dépendantes 2 à 11 définissent des modes d'exécution particuliers de l'invention.Dependent claims 2 to 11 define particular embodiments of the invention.

Le groupe d'impression additionnel peut utiliser différentes techniques d'impression connues, notamment l'impression offset, la sérigraphie ou l'héliographie.The additional printing unit can use various known printing techniques, in particular offset printing, screen printing or heliography.

De préférence, le groupe d'impression additionnel est utilisé pour imprimer des éléments de sécurité. Preferably, the additional printing unit is used to print security features.

En outre, le groupe d'impression additionnel comporte préférablement une unité de séchage formée, par exemple, de lampes à rayonnement ultraviolet.In addition, the additional printing unit includes preferably a drying unit formed, by example, of lamps with ultraviolet radiation.

Les avantages de cette nouvelle machine sont nombreux: en particulier, l'on peut citer le fait que le groupe additionnel est parfaitement modulaire de sorte qu'il peut facilement se monter et s'intégrer dans une machine d'impression déjà en service. De plus, le procédé d'impression utilisé dans le groupe additionnel n'est pas limité au même procédé déjà utilisé dans la machine d'impression en place, comme l'état de la technique l'enseigne, mais de nouvelles combinaisons de procédés d'impression sont créées. La diversification des techniques et des moyens employés permet ainsi de compliquer la tâche des faussaires potentiels.The advantages of this new machine are numerous: in particular, we can cite the fact that the group additional is perfectly modular so it can easily be mounted and integrated into a printing machine already in use. In addition, the printing process used in the additional group is not limited to the same process already used in the printing machine in place, like the state of the technique teaches it but new combinations of printing processes are created. Diversification techniques and means used thus allows make it more difficult for potential forgers.

Un autre avantage de cette invention, outre le fait qu'elle permet la combinaison de plusieurs techniques d'impression et d'un nombre accru de couleurs, est le fait que l'utilisateur dispose dans une seule et même machine d'un choix de procédés d'impression sans pour autant avoir besoin de plusieurs machines différentes. Ainsi, en un seul passage et de manière continue, des papiers-valeurs dont le facteur de sécurité est fortement augmenté sont produits de manière simple et effective. En outre, le type des encres utilisées pour un papier-valeur peut lui être varié puisque plusieurs procédés d'impression différents sont possibles. Another advantage of this invention, besides the fact that it allows the combination of several techniques increased number of colors, is the makes the user have in one and the same machine of choice of printing processes without for you might as well need several different machines. Thus, in a single pass and continuously, security papers whose security factor is greatly increased are produced in a simple way and effective. In addition, the type of inks used for a security can be varied since several different printing processes are possible.

De plus, il existait également un préjugé dans ce domaine technique à ajouter un tel groupe d'impression additionnel dans les machines connues. En effet, l'on considérait qu'il n'était pas possible de procéder à une impression préalable sur le papier, avant que celui-ci ne traverse un dispositif d'impression principal, l'encre de l'impression additionnelle préalable risquant de se reporter sur les cylindres du groupe principal. D'autre part, le système semblait très compliqué à réaliser et de ce fait non-rentable. Au contraire, il s'est avéré qu'en fait, cette solution est tout à fait réalisable de manière relativement simple et que le séchage empêche effectivement le transfert de l'encre du papier sur les cylindres du groupe principal.In addition, there was also a prejudice in this technical field to add such a printing group additional in known machines. Indeed, we considered that it was not possible to carry out pre-printing on paper, before it does not pass through a printing device main, additional printing ink risk of being transferred to the cylinders of the main group. On the other hand, the system seemed very complicated to make and therefore unprofitable. On the contrary, it turned out that in fact, this solution is quite feasible relatively simple and that drying effectively prevents the transfer of the ink from the paper to the cylinders of the main group.

L'invention sera mieux comprise grâce à la description d'un mode d'exécution de celle-ci et de la figure qui s'y rapporte.The invention will be better understood thanks to the description an embodiment of this and the figure which relates to it.

La figure 1 est une vue latérale en coupe partielle d'une machine d'impression, dont le groupe d'impression principal, à titre d'exemple, utilise un procédé d'impression offset multicolore recto-verso simultanée.Figure 1 is a side view in partial section a printing machine, including the printing unit main, for example, uses a process Simultaneous two-sided multicolor offset printing.

L'invention est décrite maintenant en référence à cette figure 1.The invention is now described with reference to this figure 1.

La machine d'impression 1 offset recto-verso simultanée comporte de manière classique, dans son groupe d'impression principal, deux cylindres porte-blanchets 2, 3 tournant dans le sens indiqué par les flèches et entre lesquelles le papier passe en recevant les impressions multicolores. Les cylindres porte-blanchets 2, 3 reçoivent les différents motifs dans leur couleurs respectives à partir des cylindres porte-plaques 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 et 11 qui sont distribués autour de la circonférence desdits cylindres porte-blanchets 2,3. Ces cylindres porte-plaques 4 à 11 portant une plaque en relief sont eux-mêmes encrés par les dispositifs d'encrage 12, respectivement 13 de la manière habituelle dans l'état de la technique.1 simultaneous two-sided offset printing machine classically, in its group main printing, two blanket cylinders 2, 3 rotating in the direction indicated by the arrows and between which the paper passes by receiving the multicolored prints. Blanket cylinders 2, 3 receive the different patterns in their colors respective from the plate cylinders 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 which are distributed around the circumference of said blanket cylinders 2.3. These plate cylinders 4 to 11 carrying a plate embossed are themselves inked by the devices inking 12, respectively 13 in the manner usual in the state of the art.

Le groupe d'impression additionnel porte la référence générale 20 et est placé en amont des cylindres porte-blanchets 2, 3 dans le sens du déplacement du papier dans la machine. Comme mentionné, ce groupe additionnel peut être formé pour utiliser différentes techniques d'impression classiques, notamment l'impression offset, la sérigraphie ou l'héliographie. Dans l'exemple décrit, c'est un groupe d'impression offset deux couleurs qui comporte un cylindre d'impression 21, un cylindre 22 porte-blanchets, deux cylindres porte-plaques 23 et 24 et deux dispositifs d'encrage 25 et 26 classiques. Les cylindres porte-plaques 23, 24 sur lesquels l'image à imprimer est gravée en relief sont encrés par les rouleaux des dispositifs d'encrage 25 et 26. Les images encrées sont ensuite reportées en registre sur le cylindre porte-blanchets 22 et l'image complète est transférée sur le papier qui passe entre le cylindre porte-blanchets 22 et le cylindre d'impression 21, par la pression de ce cylindre d'impression sur le cylindre porte-blanchets.The additional printing unit has the reference general 20 and is placed upstream of the blanket cylinders 2, 3 in the direction of paper movement in the machine. As mentioned, this additional group can be trained to use different techniques conventional printing, in particular offset printing, serigraphy or heliography. In the example described is a two offset printing group colors which comprises a printing cylinder 21, a blanket cylinder 22, two plate cylinders 23 and 24 and two anchoring devices 25 and 26 classics. The plate cylinders 23, 24 on which the image to be printed is embossed are inked by the rollers of the inking devices 25 and 26. The inked images are then transferred to register on the blanket cylinder 22 and the image complete is transferred to the paper that goes between the blanket cylinder 22 and the cylinder printing 21, by the pressure of this cylinder printing on the blanket cylinder.

Le rapport entre le diamètre du cylindre d'impression 21 et le diamètre de l'un des cylindres porte-blanchets 2 ou 3 du groupe d'impression principal peut être fixé à environ 2/3. Un tel rapport permet de remplir deux conditions contradictoires, à savoir un diamètre du cylindre d'impression 21 qui est suffisamment grand pour permettre le séchage complet de l'impression additionnelle au moyen du nombre nécessaire de lampes, mais qui est à la fois suffisamment petit pour pouvoir se monter dans la machine d'impression.The ratio between the diameter of the printing cylinder 21 and the diameter of one of the blanket cylinders 2 or 3 of the main printing unit can be fixed at about 2/3. Such a report allows two contradictory conditions, namely a diameter of the printing cylinder 21 which is sufficiently large to allow the print to dry completely additional by means of the necessary number of lamps, but which is both small enough to be able to to be mounted in the printing machine.

Le groupe additionnel représenté permet ainsi d'ajouter deux motifs avec une couleur chacun sur le papier au moyen des deux cylindres porte-plaques 23 et 24.The additional group represented thus makes it possible to add two patterns with one color each on the paper by means of the two plate cylinders 23 and 24.

Avant de passer entre les deux cylindres porte-blanchets 2, 3 de la machine d'impression et de poursuivre le procédé d'impression, le papier traverse encore un dispositif de séchage réalisé, par exemple, au moyen de lampes à rayonnement ultraviolet 27, 28 qui sont placées autour du cylindre d'impression 21. Ce dispositif permet le séchage de l'encre fraíchement imprimée qui ne se mélange pas avec l'encre appliquée par le groupe principal.Before going between the two blanket cylinders 2, 3 of the printing machine and continue the printing process, the paper passes through another drying device made, for example, by means of ultraviolet lamps 27, 28 which are placed around the printing cylinder 21. This device allows ink to dry freshly printed that does not mix with the applied ink by the main group.

Du fait que le groupe d'impression additionnel permet l'utilisation de différents procédés d'impression, on pourrait aussi s'en servir pour imprimer à la fois une partie du fond de sécurité ou une partie du motif principal du papier-valeur.Because the additional printing unit allows the use of different printing processes, we could also use it to print both a part of the safety background or part of the pattern principal of value paper.

L'invention n'est pas limitée au mode d'exécution décrit et des variations sont possibles dans le cadre de la protection revendiquée dans les revendications. Par exemple, on peut n'ajouter qu'une seule couleur additionnelle sur le papier, ou encore ajouter une couleur sur chaque côté du papier. En outre, on peut monter un tel groupe d'impression additionnel dans une machine dont le groupe d'impression principal utilise une technique d'impression autre que l'offset, comme décrit, par exemple un procédé taille-douce, des combinaisons de procédés tels que orlof-offset, orlof-taille-douce ou encore un procédé d'application d'unités optiquement variables.The invention is not limited to the embodiment described and variations are possible in the context of the protection claimed in the claims. For example, we can add only one additional color on the paper, or add a color on each side paper. In addition, one can set up such a group additional printing in a machine whose main printing group uses a technique printing other than offset, as described, by example an intaglio process, combinations of processes such as orlof-offset, orlof-intaglio or another method of optically applying units variables.
