Definitions

  • the invention relates to a recording medium with colored Image information, especially ID card or prepaid card.
  • Such record carriers are in particular as state identity cards, passports, tickets, bank cards and credit cards generally known. With such record carriers in the so-called personalization this carrier applied the individual data, especially personal data related to the owner.
  • An essential part of personalization is that colored image information in the form of a photograph of the To be shown.
  • ID cards with a colored image part are also made DE 4134539 and DE 4417343 have become known.
  • the invention has for its object a record carrier of the type mentioned, the one essential has a longer shelf life than PVC and with colored image information, in particular by means of thermal printing or thermal sublimation can be personalized.
  • the task is with a generic record carrier solved that the colored image information on a surface treated to improve adhesion Layer of polycarbonate is applied.
  • An essential one The idea of the invention is that it was recognized that that by treating the surface of a layer polycarbonate colored image information on this Layer can be applied. In particular it has It has been shown that a treated carrier by means of a Thermal process is printable.
  • a particularly suitable treatment is after Further development of the invention in that the said A varnish is applied to the surface as an adhesion promoter.
  • a particularly suitable varnish is a screen printing varnish, especially a solvent-based screen printing varnish.
  • Such paint penetrates the plastic and changes the molecules in areas near the surface in such a way the dyes applied in the thermal process in the Polycarbonate penetrate and adhere.
  • thermal printing foils are usable also thermal printing processes in which the one used for printing Similar to PVC, the needle penetrates the plastic.
  • the invention also relates to a method for manufacturing a record carrier with colored image information, especially an ID card or prepaid card.
  • the procedure is characterized in that in a first step a carrier is made of polycarbonate.
  • a surface of this support treated for mediation.
  • the colored image information onto the treated one Surface applied.
  • the application takes place preferably by means of a thermal process and in particular by means of thermal sublimation or thermal transfer.
  • the carrier is preferably painted, preferably by means of a screen printing varnish.
  • An essential advantage of the invention is seen in that with a longer life of the record carrier aesthetically very high quality color image can be obtained can. Since the dyes in the Penetrating carriers, a high level of security is also guaranteed.
  • Another advantage of the invention is seen in that the surface treated for adhesion mediation the application of a protective layer is also much easier.
  • a protective layer is preferably again a varnish, especially a screen printing varnish.
  • FIG. 1 shows a base support 2 made of polycarbonate is produced and a preferably flat top 3 owns.
  • the basic carrier can have one or more layers, thus also be a laminate.
  • the base support 2 is on at least one area of the Top 3 treated for mediation.
  • This is preferred a varnish 4 applied, the at least according to Figure 2 covered an area of the top 3.
  • the paint 4 is preferably a screen printing varnish, especially a solvent-based one Screen printing lacquer. This varnish can be in the usual Way to be applied.
  • a particularly suitable one Screen printing varnish is made by Siebtik section AG in Erlinsbach offered under the name PVC 70/2110. On such paint 4 penetrates into the base support 2 and changes the molecular structure on the surface of the Basic support 2. This layer is designated A in FIG. 2.
  • Colored image information is placed on the treated base support 2 5 in particular in the form of a color image applied.
  • the process is in particular a thermal process.
  • a thermal sublimation known per se or thermal transfer process are foils, for example under the name “thermal transfer film” or “thermal transfer film” used, and due to the heat treatment, the dyes penetrate into the area marked with A.
  • This protective layer 6 is preferably again a screen printing varnish, which is also thanks adheres well to the treatment mentioned.
  • a protective layer The company produces a particularly suitable screen printing varnish Siebdruck section AG in Erlinsbach under the name PVC 70/70 offered.
  • a base carrier 2 can be used Black and white portion 8 by means of a laser beam recorder known per se be introduced.
  • This share 8 becomes congruent with the colored image information 5 in one Layer 7 introduced.
  • This layer 7 is known Way to do this with an additive, for example with a Provided.
  • Such a black and white portion is 8 however not mandatory. However, it also improves the Safety.
  • Information 5 is in particular a colored one Full screen.
  • FIG. 6 shows a record carrier according to the invention 1, for personalization with visible colored Image information 5 is provided in the form of an image.
  • Information such as a signature is available his.
  • This additional information can also be applied with a thermal process. Is possible however, an application, for example, by means of a laser beam recorder.
  • the record carrier 1 is preferably made made entirely of a polycarbonate. This results in a long lifespan of ten, for example Years or more and a temperature resistance up to about 150 ° C.
  • the colored image information 5 stands out with particularly sharp contours. A destruction of the The record carrier is harmless from an ecological point of view, because polycarbonate is combustible without pollutants.
