Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Herstellung eines mit dem Stichtiefdruckverfahren bedruckten Datenträgers, unter Verwendung einer hierfür geeigneten Druckplatte.The invention relates to a method for producing a printed with the intaglio printing data carrier, using a printing plate suitable for this purpose.
Sicherheits- und Wertdokumente, wie beispielsweise Banknoten, Aktien, Anleihen, Urkunden, Gutscheine und dergleichen, die hohe Anforderungen bezüglich ihrer Fälschungssicherheit erfüllen müssen, werden häufig im Stichtiefdruckverfahren gedruckt. Dieses Druckverfahren liefert ein charakteristisches, auch für Laien leicht erkennbares Druckbild, das mit anderen gängigen Druckverfahren nicht nachgestellt werden kann.Security and value documents, such as banknotes, stocks, bonds, certificates, vouchers and the like, which have to meet high demands regarding their security against counterfeiting, are often printed by intaglio printing. This printing process provides a characteristic, easily recognizable even for laymen print image that can not be readjusted with other popular printing processes.
Beim Stichtiefdruck werden Flächen üblicherweise durch ein Linienraster wiedergegeben, wobei Linienabstand und -breite den Farbton bzw. Grauwert der Fläche bestimmen. Die gedruckten Linien sind üblicherweise einige Zehntel Millimeter breit und jeweils durch unbedruckte Bereiche voneinander getrennt. Beim Druckvorgang sind nur die mittels Ätzung oder Gravur in die Druckplattenoberfläche eingebrachten Vertiefungen farbführend, während die eigentliche Druckplattenoberfläche farbfrei ist. Dies wird erreicht, indem die Druckplattenoberfläche nach dem Einfärben durch einen Wischzylinder oder ein Rakel von überschüssiger Druckfarbe befreit wird.In intaglio printing, areas are usually represented by a line grid, where line spacing and width determine the color tone or gray value of the area. The printed lines are usually a few tenths of a millimeter wide and each separated by unprinted areas. During the printing process, only the depressions introduced into the printing plate surface by means of etching or engraving are ink-conducting, while the actual printing plate surface is colorless. This is achieved by the printing plate surface is freed after inking by a wiping cylinder or a doctor of excess ink.
Während des eigentlichen Druckvorgangs wird der zu bedruckende Datenträger von einem Andruckzylinder mit elastischer Oberfläche mit hohem Druck gegen die Druckplatte gepresst. Der zumindest teilkompressible Datenträger, üblicherweise aus Papier, wird dabei in die mit Farbe gefüllten Vertiefungen der Druckplatte eingepresst und kommt dadurch mit der Druckfarbe in Berührung. Beim Ablösen des Datenträgers von der Druckplatte zieht dieser die Druckfarbe aus den Vertiefungen heraus. Ein in dieser Art erzeugtes Druckbild weist voneinander beabstandete gedruckte Linien oder Bereiche auf, die in Abhängigkeit von der Tiefe der Druckplattengravur mit einer unterschiedlich dicken Farbschicht belegt sind.During the actual printing process, the data carrier to be printed is pressed against the printing plate by a pressure cylinder with an elastic surface at high pressure. The at least partially compressible data carrier, usually made of paper, is thereby pressed into the ink-filled depressions of the printing plate and thereby comes into contact with the printing ink. When detaching the disk from the printing plate this pulls the ink out of the wells. A printed image formed in this manner has spaced-apart printed lines or areas which are coated with a different thickness of color layer depending on the depth of the printing plate engraving.
Durch den hohen Anpressdruck erfährt das Substratmaterial zusätzlich eine Prägung, die sich auch auf der Rückseite des Datenträgers abzeichnet. Bei ausreichender Tiefe der Gravuren in der Druckplatte erhält ein im Stichtiefdruck bedruckter Datenträger durch Prägung und Farbauftrag ein Druckbild, das ein mit dem Tastsinn wahrnehmbares Relief bildet. In den unbedruckten, nicht mit Farbe belegten Oberflächenbereichen des Datenträgers wirken die hohen Drücke beim Druckvorgang wie eine Kalandrierung, was zu einer Verdichtung und Glättung der Datenträgeroberfläche führt. Durch diese Merkmale sind im Stichtiefdruck erzeugte Drucke jederzeit von Drucken, die mit anderen Techniken erzeugt wurden, unterscheidbar.Due to the high contact pressure, the substrate material additionally undergoes embossing, which also appears on the back of the data carrier. With sufficient depth of engraving in the printing plate receives a printed in intaglio printing medium by embossing and inking a printed image that forms a perceptible with the sense of touch relief. In the unprinted surface areas of the data carrier which are not covered with ink, the high pressures during the printing process act like calendering, which leads to a densification and smoothing of the data medium surface. These features make intaglio prints printable at any time from prints produced by other techniques.
Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht darin, im Stichtiefdruck komplexere Druckbilder mit erhöhtem Fälschungsschutz zu erzeugen.The object of the present invention is to produce more complex printed images with increased protection against counterfeiting in intaglio printing.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch den Anspruch gelöst.This task is solved by the claim.
Der erfindungsgemäß hergestellte datenträger zeichnet sich durch eine im Stichtiefdruckverfahren bedruckte Fläche und zumindest eine von dieser Fläche vollständig umschlossene Teilfläche aus, wobei die Fläche und die Teilfläche mit derselben Druckfarbe bedruckt sind, aber eine unterschiedliche Farbschichtdicke aufweisen, so dass sie visuell kontrastierend sind. Ein durch die Teilfläche dargestelltes Zeichen kann ein beliebiges geometrisches Element sein mit z.B. kreisförmiger, drei- oder viereckiger oder asymmetrischer Umrissstruktur, ein Bildzeichen, Schriftzeichen oder sonstiges Symbol sein, wobei für Schriftzeichen insbesondere alphanumerische Zeichen bevorzugt sind.The data carrier produced in accordance with the invention is characterized by a surface printed in intaglio printing and at least one partial surface completely enclosed by this surface, wherein the surface and the partial surface are printed with the same printing ink but have a different ink layer thickness, so that they are visually contrasting. A character represented by the patch may be any geometric member, e.g. be circular, triangular or square or asymmetrical outline structure, an icon, characters or other symbol, with alphanumeric characters are preferred for characters in particular.
Die bedruckte Fläche und die von ihr allseitig umschlossene Teilfläche sind mit einer unterschiedlich dicken Farbschicht bedruckt. Da übliche Stichtiefdruckfarben in gewissem Grade lasierend und durchscheinend sind, ergeben sich mit geeigneten Schichtdicken und sinnvoller Wahl der Farbe des Untergrunds Farb- oder Grautöne unterschiedlicher Helligkeit und Farbsättigung. Bei ausreichender Differenz der Farbschichtdicken benachbarter Flächen ergeben sich für das menschliche Auge ohne weitere Hilfsmittel gut sichtbare Kontraste. Normale Beleuchtungsverhältnisse und ein normaler Betrachtungsabstand werden dabei vorausgesetzt.The printed area and the partial area enclosed by it are printed with a different thickness of color layer. Since conventional intaglio inks are somewhat translucent and translucent, color or gray tones of different brightness and color saturation result with suitable layer thicknesses and sensible choice of the color of the substrate. If there is sufficient difference in the ink layer thicknesses of adjacent areas, the human eye will see well visible contrasts without any further aids. Normal lighting conditions and a normal viewing distance are assumed.
Die bedruckte Fläche und die von ihr umschlossene Teilfläche stehen in exaktem Passer zueinander, wenn ihre Position relativ zueinander vorherbestimmt ist und ohne geringste Abweichungen exakt und reproduzierbar eingehalten wird. Bei Überlagerung zweier Druckbilder, die durch aufeinander folgende, voneinander unabhängige Druckvorgänge erzeugt werden, ist diese passergenaue Positionierung der beiden Flächen zueinander nicht möglich.The printed area and the area enclosed by it are in exact register with each other, if their position relative to each other is predetermined and is observed exactly and reproducibly without any slight deviations. When superimposing two printed images, which are produced by successive, independent printing processes, this register-accurate positioning of the two surfaces to each other is not possible.
In einer Ausführungsform sind die bedruckte Fläche und Teilfläche nicht nur visuell aufgrund ihres Kontrastes, sondern auch über den Tastsinn, d.h. taktil, unterscheidbar. Das durch den Druck erzeugte Oberflächenrelief setzt sich aus einer Hochprägung des Substratmaterials und dem Farbschichtauftrag zusammen. Die Gesamthöhe des Reliefs wird auf die normale, d.h. unbedruckte und ungeprägte, Datenträgeroberfläche bezogen und beträgt für ertastbare Bereiche mindestens 25 µm. Besonders bevorzugt sind Reliefhöhen von mehr als 40 µm, da Flächenelemente mit solchen Reliefhöhen taktil besonders gut wahrnehmbar sind.In one embodiment, the printed area and sub-area are not only visually due to their contrast but also to the sense of touch, i. tactile, distinguishable. The surface relief created by the pressure consists of an embossing of the substrate material and the application of the paint coat. The overall height of the relief is set to the normal, i. unprinted and unembossed, data medium surface covered and amounts to at least 25 μm for tactile areas. Relief heights of more than 40 μm are particularly preferred, since surface elements with such relief heights are tactually particularly tactile.
Die Datenträger weisen eine erhöhte Fälschungssicherheit auf, da sie aufgrund des charakteristischen Stichtiefdruckbildes mit gängigen Druckverfahren nicht reproduzierbar sind. Verfügen sie auch über taktil wahrnehmbare Flächenelemente, besteht dadurch zusätzlich ein wirksamer Schutz gegen Nachahmung durch Farbfotokopieren oder Abscannen der Datenträger.The data carriers have increased security against counterfeiting, since they are not reproducible due to the characteristic intaglio image with common printing processes. If they also have tactile perceptible surface elements, this additionally provides effective protection against imitation by color photocopying or scanning of the data carriers.
In einer Ausführungsform umschließt die bedruckte Fläche des Datenträgers zusätzlich unbedruckte Teilbereiche, die wiederum die Form eines oder verschiedener beliebiger Zeichen aufweisen können. Dadurch kann zusätzlich zu den beiden in Positivdarstellung, also mit Farbauftrag, wiedergegebenen Informationen in der gleichen Fläche eine dritte Information in Negativdarstellung, also durch unbedruckte Bereiche in bedrucktem Umfeld wiedergegeben werden.In one embodiment, the printed surface of the data carrier additionally encloses unprinted subregions, which in turn may be in the form of one or more arbitrary characters. As a result, in addition to the two information reproduced in positive representation, that is to say with the application of paint, a third information item in negative representation, that is to say unprinted areas in a printed environment, can be reproduced in the same area.
Gemäß einer Ausführungsform kann die bedruckte Fläche auch mehrere Teilflächen umschließen, die entweder alle die gleiche oder unterschiedliche Farbschichtdicken aufweisen. Ebenso ist es möglich, in den Teilbereichen unbedruckte Bereiche vorzusehen.According to one embodiment, the printed surface can also enclose several partial surfaces which either all have the same or different ink layer thicknesses. It is also possible to provide unprinted areas in the partial areas.
Die Form der Teilflächen kann gemäß der Erfindung beliebig gewählt werden, beispielsweise in Form geometrischer Muster, Logos oder alphanumerischer Zeichen.The shape of the faces can be chosen arbitrarily according to the invention, for example in the form of geometric patterns, logos or alphanumeric characters.
Die verschiedenen Teilflächen, unbedruckten Bereiche sowie die Umrissform der bedruckten Fläche können auch in einem Sinnzusammenhang stehen. So ist es beispielsweise denkbar, die bedruckte Fläche in Form eines alphanumerischen Zeichens auszuführen und die Teilflächen sowie eventuell in der bedruckten Fläche und/ oder den Teilflächen vorhandene unbedruckte Bereiche in Form des gleichen Zeichens auszuführen. Sind mehrere bedruckte Flächen auf dem Datenträger vorgesehen, die zusammen eine lesbare Information, wie eine mehrstellige Zahl oder ein Wort darstellen, so können die Teilbereiche und/oder unbedruckten Bereiche innerhalb einer bedruckten Fläche auch in Form dieser Gesamtinformation ausgeführt werden. Aber auch beliebige andere Sinnzusammenhänge sind denkbar.The various partial areas, unprinted areas and the outline of the printed area can also be in a sense context. Thus, it is conceivable, for example, to carry out the printed surface in the form of an alphanumeric character and to carry out the partial surfaces as well as possibly unprinted regions present in the printed surface and / or the partial surfaces in the form of the same symbol. If a plurality of printed areas are provided on the data carrier, which together represent readable information, such as a multi-digit number or a word, the partial areas and / or unprinted areas within a printed area can also be executed in the form of this overall information. But also any other contexts of meaning are conceivable.
Die Anordnung der Teilflächen innerhalb der bedruckten Fläche ist beliebig und unterliegt lediglich der Einschränkung, dass die Teilfläche bzw. Teilflächen weit gehend von der bedruckten Fläche umschlossen sind. Ist innerhalb der bedruckten Fläche nur eine Teilfläche vorhanden, so kann diese beispielsweise die gleiche Information wie die bedruckte Fläche darstellen und parallel zu der Außenkontur innerhalb der bedruckten Fläche verlaufen. Vorzugsweise sind in der bedruckten Fläche jedoch mehrere Teilflächen angeordnet. Je kleiner die Teilflächen, desto größer kann selbstverständlich die Anzahl dieser Teilflächen sein. Diese können in einem beliebigen Muster in der bedruckten Fläche angeordnet werden. Dieses Muster kann ebenfalls eine lesbare Information sein oder aber auch lediglich eine regelmäßige Spalten- und/ oder Zeilenanordnung. Sind zusätzlich unbedruckte Bereiche in der bedruckten Fläche vorgesehen, so können diese alternierend mit den Teilflächen angeordnet werden.The arrangement of the sub-areas within the printed area is arbitrary and is subject only to the restriction that the partial area or partial areas are largely enclosed by the printed area. If only a partial area is present within the printed area, then this can represent, for example, the same information as the printed area and extend parallel to the outer contour within the printed area. Preferably, however, a plurality of partial surfaces are arranged in the printed surface. The smaller the partial surfaces, the larger the number of these partial surfaces can of course be. These can be arranged in any pattern in the printed area. This pattern can also be readable information or even just a regular column and / or row arrangement. If additionally unprinted areas are provided in the printed area, these can be arranged alternately with the partial areas.
Bei den erfindungsgemäß hergestellten Datenträgern grenzen unbedruckte Bereiche und Flächen mit unterschiedlicher Farbschichtdicke unmittelbar und in beliebiger Reihenfolge aneinander. Dadurch ist es möglich, sehr komplexe Druckbilder wiederzugeben und auf der gleichen Fläche mehrere Informationen, auch in Positivdarstellung, zu überlagern. Die Gestaltungsfreiheit bei der Erstellung und Wiedergabe von mit dem Stichtiefdruckverfahren erzeugten Druckbildern wird dadurch enorm erhöht.In the data carriers produced according to the invention, unprinted areas and areas with different ink layer thickness adjoin one another directly and in any desired order. This makes it possible to reproduce very complex printed images and to superimpose several information on the same surface, also in positive representation. The freedom of design in the creation and reproduction of printed images produced by the intaglio printing method is thereby increased enormously.
Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren zur Herstellung entsprechender bedruckter Datenträger weist darüber hinaus erhebliche wirtschaftliche Vorteile auf, da die zum Bedrucken mit unterschiedlichen Farbschichtdicken vorgesehenen Flächen in einem Druckdurchgang mit derselben Druckfarbe erzeugt werden. Zum Bedrucken mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren eignen sich alle für den Stichtiefdruck infrage kommenden Substratmaterialien, wie Papier, Kunststofffolien, mit Kunststofffolien kaschiertes oder lackiertes Papier, sowie mehrschichtige Kompositmaterialien.The method according to the invention for producing corresponding printed data carriers also has considerable economic advantages, since the areas provided for printing with different ink layer thicknesses are produced in one printing pass with the same printing ink. For printing by the method according to the invention are all suitable for intaglio printing substrate materials, such as paper, plastic films, laminated with plastic films or coated paper, and multi-layer composite materials.
Die Stichtiefdruckplatten werden vorzugsweise durch Gravur mit einem schnell rotierenden, spitz zulaufenden Stichel hergestellt. Entsprechend der Umrissform der zu bedruckenden Fläche werden durch das Gravierwerkzeug entsprechende Vertiefungen mit gezielter Variation der Gravurtiefe in die Oberfläche der Druckplatte eingebracht und für den Druckvorgang mit Farbe gefüllt. Beim Drucken wird die Druckfarbe aus den Vertiefungen der Platte auf die Oberfläche eines Substrats übertragen. Von den unbehandelten, d.h. nicht gravierten Oberflächenbereichen der Druckplatte wird keine Farbe übertragen. Eine tiefe Gravur der Druckplatte erzeugt auf dem bedruckten Substrat ein hohes Prägerelief mit einer dicken Farbschicht, während von flachen Gravuren nur ein geringes Prägerelief mit einer dünnen Farbschicht erzeugt wird. Werden durchscheinende Farben verwendet, erhält man durch unterschiedliche Farbschichtdicken visuell kontrastierende bedruckte Flächen, die auch dann unterscheidbar sind, wenn sie unmittelbar aneinander grenzen.The intaglio printing plates are preferably produced by engraving with a rapidly rotating, tapered stylus. According to the outline shape of the surface to be printed by the engraving corresponding depressions are introduced with targeted variation of the engraving depth in the surface of the printing plate and filled for printing with color. During printing, the ink is transferred from the wells of the plate to the surface of a substrate. From the untreated, i. not engraved surface areas of the printing plate is transferred no color. A deep engraving of the printing plate produces a high embossing relief on the printed substrate with a thick ink layer, whereas only a slight embossing relief with a thin ink layer is produced by flat engravings. If translucent colors are used, different color layer thicknesses result in visually contrasting printed areas, which are distinguishable even if they adjoin one another directly.
Um zu verhindern, dass unmittelbar aneinander grenzende Farbschichten, nachdem sie auf einen Datenträger übertragen wurden, entlang ihrer Grenzlinie ineinander fließen, bevor die Druckfarbe getrocknet ist, wird in die Druckplatte zwischen Flächen mit unterschiedlicher Gravurtiefe eine sogenannte "Trennkante" integriert. Diese Trennkante hat ein spitz zulaufendes, keilförmiges Querschnittsprofil. Die Spitze des Keils befindet sich vorzugsweise auf der Höhe der Druckplattenoberfläche oder geringfügig darunter.In order to prevent directly adjacent color layers, after they have been transferred to a data carrier, to flow into one another along their boundary line before the ink has dried, a so-called "separating edge" is integrated in the printing plate between surfaces having different engraving depths. This separating edge has a tapered, wedge-shaped cross-sectional profile. The tip of the wedge is preferably at the level of the printing plate surface or slightly below.
Die Spitze des Trennkantenprofils bildet entlang der Trennkante eine weitgehend eindimensionale Linie, ähnlich einer Messerschneide. Sie trennt zwar die Druckplattenbereiche unterschiedlicher Gravurtiefe voneinander, erzeugt aber keine sichtbare Unterbrechnung der gedruckten Farbflächen. Mit Unterstützung der in die Druckplatte integrierten Trennkante bleibt die Stichtiefdruckfarbe, die von pastöser Konsistenz ist, nach ihrem Übertrag auf ein Substrat auch dann formstabil "stehen", wenn mit unterschiedlicher Schichtdicke bedruckte Flächen unmittelbar aneinander stoßen. Auf diese Weise können im Stichtiefdruck feinste, einander überlagerte Strukturen mit unterschiedlicher Farbschichtdicke und hoher Kantenschärfe gedruckt werden.The tip of the separating edge profile forms a largely one-dimensional line along the separating edge, similar to a knife edge. Although it separates the printing plate areas of different engraving depths from each other, but does not produce visible interruption of the printed color areas. With the support of the separating edge integrated in the printing plate, the intaglio printing ink, which has a pasty consistency, also remains dimensionally stable after it has been transferred to a substrate when surfaces printed with different layer thickness directly abut one another. In this way, in intaglio printing, the finest, superimposed structures with different Color layer thickness and high edge sharpness to be printed.
Beim Gravieren der Druckplatte wird das Gravierwerkzeug so geführt, dass zwischen den aneinander grenzenden Flächen, die eine unterschiedliche Gravurtiefe aufweisen, eine spitz zulaufende Trennkante stehen bleibt. Wird auf dem Substrat eine bedruckte Teilfläche von einer ebenfalls bedruckten umgebenden Fläche vollständig umschlossen, muss die der Teilfläche entsprechende Vertiefung bzw. Gravur der Druckplatte von einer Trennkante vollständig umschlossen sein.When engraving the printing plate, the engraving tool is guided so that a tapered separating edge stops between the adjoining surfaces, which have a different engraving depth. If a printed partial area of a likewise printed surrounding surface is completely enclosed on the substrate, the indentation or engraving of the printing plate corresponding to the partial area must be completely enclosed by a separating edge.
Werden die Gravuren der Druckplatte vor dem Druckvorgang nicht oder zumindest teilweise nicht eingefärbt, das heißt nicht mit Druckfarbe gefüllt, wirkt der nicht eingefärbte Bereich der Druckplatte nur als Prägeplatte, mit dem während des Stichtiefdruckvorgangs auf einem Substrat sogenannte Blindprägungen erzeugt werden können. Die geprägten Elemente weisen mit Ausnahme des durch die Druckfarbe erzeugten visuellen Eindrucks ähnliche Proportionen und taktile Eigenschaften auf wie die zuvor beschriebenen bedruckten Flächen und Teilflächen.If the engravings of the printing plate are not inked before printing or at least partially not filled with printing ink, the non-inked area of the printing plate acts only as an embossing plate with which so-called blind embossings can be produced on a substrate during the intaglio printing. The embossed elements, with the exception of the visual impression created by the ink, have similar proportions and tactile properties as the previously described printed areas and patches.
Weitere Ausführungsformen und Vorteile der Erfindung werden nachfolgend anhand der Figuren erläutert. Die in den Ausführungsbeispielen beschriebenen Varianten beziehen sich in erster Linie auf sehr kleine Teilflächen. Selbstverständlich können die erfindungsgemäß bedruckte Fläche sowie die Teilflächen auch größer, d. h. einige Millimeter bis Zentimeter ausgeführt werden. Die Integration unbedruckter Bereiche in die bedruckte Fläche in den folgenden Ausführungsbeispielen ist nicht Gegenstand der Erfindung.Further embodiments and advantages of the invention are explained below with reference to the figures. The variants described in the exemplary embodiments relate primarily to very small partial surfaces. Of course, the printed surface according to the invention as well as the partial surfaces can be larger, d. H. be carried out a few millimeters to centimeters. The integration of unprinted areas in the printed area in the following embodiments is not the subject of the invention.
