Abstract

The invention relates to a method for finishing valuable printed paper sheets. The purpose of said finishing method is to improve the recognition of security features. For that purpose, the valuable printed paper sheets are partly or entirely covered with a varnish used for increasing the durability of said valuable printed paper sheets and for enhancing said security features.

Description

VERFAHREN ZURVEREDELUNG METHOD FOR FINISHING
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Veredlung von Wertpapierdruckbogen.The invention relates to a method for finishing security printing sheets.
Ein an Wertpapieren bekanntes Sicherheitsmerkmal ist das Wasserzeichen, welches bereits bei der Herstellung des „Wertpapier-Papiers" erzeugt wird.A well-known security feature of securities is the watermark, which is already created during the production of the "security paper".
Wasserzeichen werden erzeugt, indem durch entsprechende Verfahren bei der Papierherstellung ein gezielt unterschiedlicher Aufbau des Papierkörpers bzgl. der Materialstärke und/oder Materialdichte erreicht wird.Watermarks are generated in that a correspondingly different structure of the paper body with respect to the material thickness and / or material density is achieved by corresponding processes in paper production.
Durch den unterschiedlichen Aufbau, d.h. durch die erreichte unterschiedliche Lichtdurchlässigkeit des Materials, lassen sich im Papier gewünschte Motive (z.B. Porträts) herstellen. Nachteilig ist dabei, dass diese Motive erst deutlich sichtbar werden, wenn das Papier auf einen Lichttisch gelegt oder gegen Tageslicht gehalten wird. Des Weiteren nutzen sich diese Papiere bei Gebrauch stark ab, wodurch das Erkennen der Sicherheitsmerkmale teilweise nicht mehr möglich ist.Due to the different structure, i.e. Due to the different light permeability of the material, desired motifs (e.g. portraits) can be created in the paper. The disadvantage here is that these motifs only become clearly visible when the paper is placed on a light table or held against daylight. Furthermore, these papers wear heavily during use, which means that it is sometimes no longer possible to recognize the security features.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist die Schaffung eines Verfahrens zur Veredlung von Wertpapierdruckbogen zur besseren Erkennung der Sicherheitsmerkmale.The object of the invention is to create a method for refining security printing sheets for better recognition of the security features.
Erfindungsgemäß wird die Aufgabe durch die Merkmale des ersten Patentanspruchs gelöst.According to the invention the object is solved by the features of the first claim.
Durch die Lackierung, insbesondere mit farblosem Lack, von Wertpapier-Papier wird, in Abhängigkeit vom Papieraufbau, der Lackart, dem Lackauftragsverfahren und der Auftragsmenge eine starke Zunahme der Transparenz des Papiers erreicht. Wird ein Wasserzeichen von Wertpapier-Papier einseitig oder beidseitig lackiert, so ist das Motiv des Wasserzeichens aufgrund der unterschiedlichen Transparenz, die wieder vom unterschiedlichen Papieraufbau herrührt, deutlicher sichtbar. Das Wasserzeichen ist auch ohne Hilfsmittel (Lichtquelle) gut erkennbar. Hilfsmittel wie z.B. Lichtquellen oder einfach dunkle Unterlagen verstärken diesen Effekt weiter.The varnishing, especially with colorless varnish, of security paper results in a strong increase in the transparency of the paper, depending on the paper structure, the type of varnish, the varnish application process and the amount applied. If a watermark of security paper is varnished on one or both sides, the motif of the watermark is more clearly visible due to the different transparency, which again results from the different paper structure. The watermark is easily recognizable even without aids (light source). Tools such as Light sources or simply dark underlays further intensify this effect.
Nachfolgend wird das Verfahren an einem Ausführungsbeispiel näher erläutert. Ein mit Sicherheitsmerkmalen z.B. Wasserzeichen ausgestatteter Wertpapierbogen wird in einer Druckmaschine bedruckt.The method is explained in more detail below using an exemplary embodiment. One with security features e.g. Watermarked securities sheets are printed in a printing press.
Anschließend, d.h. nach dem Druckvorgang, wird der Wertpapierdruckbogen in der Druckmaschine mit einer speziellen Lackiereinrichtung oder in einem externen Lackwerk mit Bogenanleger und Bogenauslage lackiert. Zweckmäßigerweise erfolgt eine Gesamtbogenlackierung und die Lackierung bestimmter Teile des Gesamtbogens d.h. der Teil des Bogens der mit Wasserzeichen versehen ist. Die Teillackierung verbessert die Erkennbarkeit der Sicherheitsmerkmale und die Gesamt- lackierung verlängert die Erkennbarkeit der Sicherheitsmerkmale bei längerem Gebrauch der Wertpapiere und die Lebensdauer derselben.Then, ie after the printing process, the security printing sheet is coated in the printing machine with a special coating device or in an external coating unit with sheet feeder and sheet delivery. It is useful to paint the entire sheet and to paint certain parts of the entire sheet, ie the part of the sheet that is watermarked. The partial varnish improves the recognizability of the security features and the overall varnish extends the recognizability of the security features when the securities are used for a longer period of time and their lifespan.
Um den Herstellungsprozeß der Wertpapiere durch die Lackierung nicht zu verlängern ist es vorteilhaft, dass der Lackiervorgang - Gesamt- und Teillackierung - in einem Arbeitsgang erfolgt. Dazu ist einem Druckzylinder ein erstes Lackierwerk - Lackierzylinder, Rasterwalze mit Kammerrakel - zugeordnet und dem Lackierzylinder ist ein zweites Lackierwerk - Lak- kierzylinder, Rasterwalze mit Kammerrakel - vorgeordnet. Die Lackierung erfolgt mit farblosem Lack. In order not to prolong the manufacturing process of the securities through the painting, it is advantageous that the painting process - total and partial painting - is carried out in one operation. For this purpose, a first coating unit - coating cylinder, anilox roller with chamber doctor blade - is assigned to a printing cylinder, and a second coating unit - painting cylinder, anilox roller with chamber doctor blade - is arranged upstream of the coating cylinder. The painting is done with colorless paint.
