Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for producing scratchable pavers on a support as well as a support comprising such a block.
  • Scratchable paving stones means any printed pattern on a support in order to be removed by simple scraping with a fingernail or any object of hardness sufficient, the objective generally being to discover an inscription or a design printed under said paving stone.
  • the material used for printing has good covering power and sufficient adhesion to the support so as not to go away on its own but insufficient grip to be able to resist scratching.
  • the depositor is also moving towards other uses, for example all portable media applications such as cards smart (bank smart card and / or wallet electronic and / or telephone chip card).
  • the scratchable pad could be used to cover for example a useful number for the user.
  • US-A-4,540,628 describes an aluminum composite sheet with a hydrophilic coating for receiving base composition ink aqueous.
  • This sheet can in particular serve as a lottery ticket support and include a number printed by an inkjet system and a removable opaque coating to hide the number.
  • US-A-4,312,268 relates to a method and apparatus for coating ink applied at high speed. He describes a moving strip which first receives a liquid by ink jet to produce an image, for example, then excess particles which adhere to the liquid to mask the image. The particles are brought in by contact with the passage of the strip in a hopper. The image can be revealed later by scraping.
  • the subject of the invention is a method for resolve cadence and change issues dynamic size, shape and color of the scratchable paver in the context of industrial or other use.
  • the subject of the invention is therefore more particularly a process for producing scrapable pavers on a support mainly characterized in that it comprises the use of a jet printing technique ink.
  • the ink used is a change type ink phase (Hot Melt, in English terminology).
  • the inks used include oligomers and polyamides.
  • the support on which deposits can be made scrapable pavers can be a plastic support such than an integrated circuit card (chip card) whatever either the standard of the card and whatever the application.
  • integrated circuit card chip card
  • the ink used contains the ester of an acid hydrogenated abietic (tackifier) and an agent plasticizer.
  • the abietic acid ester level hydrogenated enters the composition of the ink to height from 16.5% to 27% and that of the plasticizing agent will be 15% to 4.5% respectively.
  • the support can be rigid paper pulp (cardboard) or flexible (paper).
  • inkjet printing is achieved by one or more several print heads ordered according to the shape, size, and / or color of the paver achieve.
  • the heads printing devices used are of piezoelectric type.
  • the invention also relates to a support with information or graphics on one side and a scratch-off pad masking said information or graphics. It is characterized in that said block scratchable consists of justaposed material points and / or superimposed.
  • the method of the invention can be implemented from differently by using one or more inkjet print head depending on the application. So, we will use one or more heads depending on the shape that we're looking at get for the scratchable pavement, possibly from its size relative to head size and also depending on whether you want to get cobblestones with one color or multiple colors.
  • An advantage of the present invention is that the print heads can be positioned in the existing production lines for paver manufacturing removable to replace current solutions.
  • One or more inks of the same or of multiple colors will be ejected from the heads at inkjet when passing the object to be treated, which may therefore be of paper, plastic or other type.
  • Inks usable for these applications could for example be of phase change type (Hot Melt, in Anglo-Saxon terminology), which presents the advantage of solidifying on contact with the surface printed and which are compatible with a large variety of supports without special treatment. he these are waxes.
  • the main material that is used the most frequently for inkjet applications to phase change is the wax.
  • this material lend themselves very well to the cycles of elevation and temperature cooling required for this technology.
  • the main uses of this type are generally oriented for paper or porous media applications that allow good adhesion of the wax-based ink in the support fibers.
  • the wax has the main defect of not being sufficiently adherent to plastic materials, which generates insufficient abrasion resistance in part of this app.
  • phase change inks that include oligomers and polyamides.
  • This formulation used by some ink manufacturers, allows improve adhesion on plastic supports as well as facilitate the achievement of colors specific requirements for this application.
  • the tackifier product is an adhesive agent for ink (in English Tackifier which corresponds to a hydrogenated abietic acid ester).
  • Phase change inks generally have a softening temperature around 90 ° C and physical characteristics compatible with the piezo inkjet technology from 130 ° C.
  • the depositor In order not to increase too much the tackifiers for inks, the depositor preferred decrease the plasticizing agents which are generally polymers, better suited for applications plastic.
  • plasticizer used in the scope of the invention is Di-isonomyl phthalate.
  • ink deposited varies depending on the print resolution, ink formulation as well as temperature, the nature of the substrate when the drop hits the support.
  • the thickness deposited varies between 8 to 20 ⁇ m depending on the parameters mentioned above.
  • This equipment will include for example a head printing 1n controlled by electronic control 2 which will include a PG steering program adapted to the shape and size of the pattern you want to make.
  • the electronic control 2 is not original in ones existing orders for machines to printing used in paper printers can be used for example to order this printhead.
  • the parameters concerning the linear speed of displacement of the head, the flow d of the ink flowing in nozzles of the head as well as the pattern program perform in one pass or in several passages of the head on the support, have entered the memory of the print head control program.
  • the print head is supplied with ink by a heating tank 3, due to the use of ink phase change based on the variation of temperatures, this also in a conventional manner.
  • the tank bears the reference 3 in the figures.
  • 1n inkjet heads and more especially technology-based heads piezoelectric, allow to reach linear speeds one to two meters per print second, which greatly exceeds in terms of rate what current technologies are capable of to realise.
  • Another very important advantage of this invention is that the method allows for custom scratch off prints addressing capabilities of inkjet heads.
  • each head will have a specific color in order to produce different graphic effects at high speed and which may also be different from support to another by changing the current parameter printing.
  • This change of parameter can be realized by means of an input-output device, connected to the control electronics 2, referenced 4 on the diagram in Figure 1b.
  • FIG. 2 illustrates a support 1 on which there is printed a scrapable P block according to the invention.
  • This block P has been placed in a zone Z which is defined, relative to the borders of the card for example, in the program that pilots the print head.
  • the shape of the paving stone produced and the flow of the ink to obtain the desired thickness e of the ink which is filed, are also defined in this program.
  • FIG. 2 illustrates an exemplary embodiment on a plastic support S such as a chip card ISO format.
  • this support could be a paper or cardboard support produced according to the method of the invention.
  • the ink can be replaced by a subject and we will then speak of jet of material in the broad sense.
  • the invention particularly relates to the use of material jet or ink jet techniques in which it is possible to order or control individually each jet of a drop or blocks of n simultaneous jets of one drop each.
  • the support comprises a information or graphics on one side and one block scratch-off masking said information or graphics.
  • the scratchable pad consists of material points juxtaposed and / or superimposed. These points result from the impact of drops of matter, especially drops ink sprayed by material jet in general or jet ink on the support.
  • the dots have a resolution higher than 100 DPI.
  • the resolution is understood between 100 and 600 Dpi.
  • the colored dots can form a decorative pattern or information or a security element such as guilloches to increase jamming or camouflaging hidden information.
  • the security reason can be regular or random, visible or not from the outside. He can be in the same color as the information or graphics affixed to the support so as to merge with her or him.
  • the pattern can be directly in contact with, the information or the graphics or be about the same level. He can understand at minus one layer of dot of material or ink on top of homogeneous color or not.
