Definitions

  • the invention relates to a data carrier with a security printing image and a printing plate for producing such a printed image.
  • the intaglio printing is often used for intaglio printing, since the printing plate is very complex and expensive and can be generated with this method, a very characteristic print image that is not imitate using other printing methods ,
  • two-dimensional representations are produced by closely spaced engraving lines, the individual engraving lines generally being fractions of a mm wide and separated from one another by ungravelled webs.
  • the engraving lines of the printing plate are filled with paint.
  • the excess ink is removed from the printing plate with the help of a wiping cylinder or a doctor blade so that only the engraving lines are filled with ink. By this wiping so all color components are removed on the printing plate surface.
  • lithographic printing inks are used in intaglio printing, a light color tone is obtained when printing on a white data medium with low ink layer thicknesses, while darker color tones are obtained when printing with thick layers of ink.
  • the intaglio printing process can produce print images with very large ink layer thicknesses. The resulting printed images are even manually felt when using correspondingly deep engravings. By using correspondingly fine engravings, extremely fine, extremely sharp printing lines are possible.
  • the invention is based on the object to propose a data carrier with a printed image produced in intaglio printing, which has a very high security against counterfeiting.
  • the invention is based on combining the printed image provided on the data carrier from a plurality of contrasting structural elements, wherein these structural elements are arranged in exact register with each other, and at least a part of these structural elements feel relief-like and tactile, and a part of the structural elements is made flat and not tactile tactile ,
  • these structural elements are produced in a printing operation in intaglio printing on the data carrier.
  • Passer referred to within the meaning of the invention, the exact connecting or abutting boundaries of large-scale and filigree or the relief-like and flat structural elements in the transition region in which large-scale and filigree or relief-like and flat structures abut each other.
  • the reference plane By “relief-like” an elevation of the structural elements relative to the data carrier surface is referred to as the reference plane, which is more than about 30 microns, preferably about 40 microns to about 100 microns.
  • "flat” ideally denotes a structural element lying in the data carrier surface as a reference plane, but which may be at most about 25 ⁇ m to 30 ⁇ m over the reference plane, but preferably not more than 25 ⁇ m.
  • the engraving depth of the pressure plate is for relief-like Structural elements in the range of about 40 microns to 200 microns, preferably in the range of about 55 microns to 150 microns and for flat structural elements in the range of about 5 microns to 50 microns, preferably in the range of about 10 microns to 25 microns.
  • the brightness impression of the hue depends on the printed layer thickness, the type, composition and concentration of the pigment. Layer thicknesses between about 2 microns and 5 microns produce a lighter, more transparent shade, with imprints with such layer thicknesses tactile are not felt. In the layer thickness range between about 5 microns and 10 microns, the hue is darker, the print image but still not felt. Only at layer thicknesses of about 10 .mu.m to 30 .mu.m, the print image, which now appears much darker, can be felt tactilely. A visually recognizable contrast between the structural elements according to the invention can thus be generated via the ink layer thickness. Since the tactile perception is a subjective sensation, a value from which a relief is perceived tactilely can only be determined within rough limits. The tactile perceptibility of a printed relief depends not only on the absolute relief height and the individual sensitivity, but also on the areal extent of the printed structure and on whether the printed structure to be touched is free-standing or integrated into a printed environment.
  • the security against forgery of the security element or security print image according to the invention can finally be further increased by a frequent change takes place between the different structural elements.
  • the structural elements differ in terms of their areal extent and / or their light / dark contrast and / or their tactility.
  • the exact register between the various structural elements and the associated special visual impression of the security printed image can only be in the intaglio printing, ie using a printing plate, in which the security print image is engraved completely and with the necessary register, are generated.
  • the structural elements can additionally be combined with negative elements.
  • Negative element here refers to a non-inked area of any shape in an inked environment.
  • Such negative elements may be included within a structural element as unprinted pictorial or alphanumeric information, e.g. a logo, the denomination of a currency or a lettering, are present, so that a structural element is not completely covered with ink.
  • the negative elements may also be formed as a dividing line between the individual structural elements. In this case, the negative elements are preferably in the form of complicated line patterns, e.g. Guilloche on.
  • a part of the structural elements according to the invention over a large area and a part of the structural elements made filigree.
  • “Large area” means that the structural elements are not generated in the raster print, but actually consist of sheet-like elements with a certain width> about 1 mm.
  • Filigree on the other hand, means that they are thin lines that may intersect and intertwine, such as guilloches.
  • the line width of these filigree structures is ⁇ 1 mm and is preferably less than 0.5 mm.
  • the structural elements are selected and arranged in register with one another in such a way that at least two visually recognizable, preferably overlapping, information arise.
  • a first information composed of relief-like and tactile structural elements
  • a second information consists at least for the most part of flat, non-tactile structural elements.
  • the information can for example be composed as follows: All filigree structural elements and part of the large-scale structural elements of the security element according to the invention are carried out relief-like and tactile feel and form a first visually recognizable information. At the same time, part of these tactile structural elements belongs to a second piece of information which, in addition to the tactile feel, also has flat, non-tactile structural elements. Preferably for example, the flat features of the second information occupy a larger area, so that the visual impression of the second information is determined primarily by the flat features.
  • the tactile structural elements form only a kind of superimposed, preferably darker, pattern with regard to the second information.
  • filigree structural elements encloses passerhaltig to the second information.
  • these filigree structural elements continue the contour lines of the relief-like structural elements common to both pieces of information.
  • This security element may according to a further preferred embodiment have negative elements.
  • the structural elements of the first and second information may be separated by a narrow unprinted contour line.
  • the structural elements belonging only to the first information can also continue this non-printed contour line.
  • the printing plate with which this printed image is produced has the corresponding structural elements in the form of depressions, wherein these structural elements are arranged here in exact register to each other.
  • the engraving depth of the individual structural elements is chosen so that a first part of these structural elements is felt like a relief and tactile after printing and the second part of the structural elements has a lower engraving depth, so that the structural elements after the printing process are flat and not tactile felt.
  • the engraving depth of the first part of the structural elements is preferably about 40 ⁇ m to 200 ⁇ m, preferably about 55 ⁇ m to 150 ⁇ m, and that of the second part is about 5 ⁇ m to 50 ⁇ m, preferably about 15 ⁇ m to 40 ⁇ m.
  • the relief height achieved in the print result depends not only on the engraving depth of the printing plate, but also on the properties of the substrate and the ink, in extreme cases, an engraving depth of 40 microns already lead to a relief-like print image, while in other material and printing parameters an engraving depth of 50 microns can still lead to a flat print image. In any specific application, however, the engravings leading to relief-like print image areas are always deeper than those which produce so-called flat, tactile non-tactile image areas.
  • the structural elements are designed such that the area in which the two overlap information either remains unprinted or is rendered in a tone that is visually distinct from both the relief and tactile sensible and the flat distinctly different from tactile structural elements.
  • the relief-like and the flat structural elements as well as the unprinted or in the hue contrasting overlapping area are in turn in exact register to each other.
  • Fig. 1 shows a first embodiment of the security element according to the invention 1.
  • the security element 1 is composed of a plurality of structural elements, which are arranged in exact register to each other. Some of these structural elements, shown in black in the figure, can be felt in a relief-like and tactile manner; the other part of the structural elements, shown gray in the figure, is flat and can not be tactilely felt. All these structural elements are produced in a printing process by intaglio printing on an arbitrary substrate. In the example shown, the individual structural elements are arranged relative to one another such that two visually recognizable information is produced. This is the number "2000", which is overlaid by the words "Banknote".
  • the number “2" is made up of the large-area, flat and non-tactile structural elements 2, the likewise large-area, but relief-like and tactile tangibly formed structural elements 3 and the filigree and relief-like tactile structural elements 4, 7 together.
  • the structural elements 4 in this case form the contour line of the number "2". All structural elements and in particular the structural elements 4 and 7 as well as 3 and 4 are arranged within the meaning of the invention passerhaltig each other. Furthermore, the different structural elements, e.g. the structural elements 2, 4 or 2, 3 directly to each other.
  • the structural elements 3, 7 are at the same time part of a second piece of information which, together with the filigree, relief-like and tactile structurally executed structural elements 5, form the letter "B".
  • the structural elements 5 are formed in this case as filigree lines, which are arranged passerhaltig to the structural elements 3 and 7. They include the unprinted surfaces 6.
  • FIG. 2 shows another embodiment of the security element 1 according to the invention.
  • the first information the number "2000” also consists of flat, tactile non-tactile structural elements 2, filigree, relief-like and tactile felt structural elements 7 as well as large, tactile felt structural elements 3 together.
  • the flat, non-tactile structural elements are gray and the relief-like, tactile structural elements are highlighted in black.
  • the filigree, relief-like contour line 4 is missing in this case. Therefore, all of the relief-like structure elements that can be tactilely felt are simultaneously part of the second information. Outside the overlapping area, the relief-like, tactilely perceptible structural elements 3 and 7 are supplemented by further relief-like, filigree structural elements 5. Only the overall view of the structural elements 3, 5, 7 makes the second information, here an eagle, visually recognizable.
  • Both the security element 1 shown in FIG. 1 and in FIG. 2 is produced in a printing process.
  • a translucent printing ink is used for this, so that the flat structural elements 2 appear in a lighter shade, while the relief-like structural elements 3, 4, 5, 7 are reproduced in a dark hue.
  • the color differences arise due to different color layer thicknesses. Accordingly, the printing forme used for printing on different depth engravings.
  • Fig. 3 shows the detail of a printing plate according to the invention in cross section.
  • the intaglio printing plate 8 has recessed engraving areas 9, 10 relative to the printing plate surface 11.
  • the first engraving area 9 is engraved with an engraving depth a, the second engraving area 10 with an engraving depth b.
  • the two engraving areas 9, 10 directly adjoin one another at the level of the printing plate surface 11 and are separated from one another by a separating edge 12, the upper edge 13 of which tapers to a point at the level of the printing plate surface 11.
  • the intaglio printing plate 8 can also be designed so that the upper edge 13 is slightly, ie a few microns below the Levels of the printing plate surface 11 is located. This separating edge ensures that contiguous color surfaces have sharp contours.
  • the production and design variants of such printing plates with separating edges are in the German Patent Application P 198 45 436.8 explained in detail, to which explicit reference is made here.
  • the engraving area 9 generates a brighter hue during the printing process than the deeper engraving area 10. If non-tactile structural elements are produced with the engraving area 9, the engraving depth a is between 10 ⁇ m and 40 ⁇ m. For light shades which have a translucent effect, engraving depths of 10 ⁇ m to 25 ⁇ m are preferably used.
  • the relief-like, tactile-feeling structural elements can be produced, for example, with the engraving area 10.
  • the engraving depth b is in this case between 40 microns and 200 microns.
  • Fig. 4 shows schematically the section of a substrate 14, such as paper, which has been printed with a intaglio printing plate 8 according to FIG. 3 by intaglio printing.
  • the substrate 14 is pressed into the engraving areas 9, 10, wherein corresponding depressions 16, 17 may remain on the underside of the substrate 15, depending on how much pressure is exerted on the substrate during the printing process.
  • the substrate top 18 has corresponding elevations in the areas in which lie on the bottom of the recesses 16,17. These elevations are covered by ink layers 19, 20, which were taken during the printing process from the substrate surface 18 of the engraving areas 9, 10.

  • the separating edge 12 results in a more or less wide boundary area, which ensures a clean separation between the pressure areas of different hues.
  • FIG. 5a shows the enlarged detail A from FIG. 2, from which it becomes clear that the individual structural elements are arranged exactly in register with each other.
  • the structural elements 7 are flush with the structural elements 2. Passerhaltig this, the structural elements 5 are arranged. They border passerhaltig to the structural elements 2 and go virtually seamlessly into the contour line of the structural elements 7.
  • Figures 5b and 5c show the critical limits after such a counterfeiting attempt.
  • the structural elements 2 protrude beyond the structural elements 7, so that a part of the areas 6 bordered by the structural elements 5 is also filled with color.
  • the structural elements 7 terminate outside the structural elements 2. Since such offsets the overall impression of Significantly affect print image, forgery attempts of the security element according to the invention are very obvious.
