Definitions
- UV inks are also used in security features. These “UV inks” are only visible when they are excited to fluorescence or phosphorescence with UV light. They are available in printing inks or in fibers and are processed using various printing processes or paper or plastic are added directly to the substrates.
- UV inks are used in security technology, which are only visible under UV light due to fluorescence or phosphorescence, but that security features developed from them cannot be personalized.
- a method should therefore be proposed with which laser marking on luminescent substances is possible, which is not visible under normal conditions, but is visible with the aid of a UV light source or another suitable excitation.
- the object of the invention is therefore to provide a method for laser marking luminescent authenticity features or markings, in which the marking generated is not visible in the normal state, but with the aid of a UV lamp or by means of an excitation in the electromagnetic field as a negative luminescence image (fluorescence image or phosphorescence image) is visible.
- the object is achieved by a process which provides for bleaching the active luminescent pigments or dyes with the aid of a laser or another suitable energy beam.
- the invention thus sets a laser personalization of UV security features such. B. in plastic cards ahead and combines the advantages of two methods, namely personalization using a laser beam and also the personalization of luminescent substances and their verification under UV light or another high-energy excitation medium.
- the invention generally claims the personalization of luminescent authenticity markings of any kind on any data carrier. Furthermore, the personalization of chemo- and / or bioluminescent substances is generally claimed to be essential to the invention.
- the generic term “luminescence” is therefore used in the following description as a synonym for all three lighting phenomena.
- a multi-layer plastic card (eg in the form of a check card) is described as the data carrier.
- the invention is not limited to this.
- the structure of a check card is used below for the further description of the invention.
- the marking can therefore be printed as a printing ink on a specific or even several layers of the data carrier or applied in some other way.
- the marking can also be integrated into the plastic polymer of one or more layers of the data carrier.
- the luminescent substance can also be incorporated into the adhesive, the lacquer or as an additive in the plastic material.
- UV color is generally understood to mean a marking, substance or authenticity feature which, using a photo and / or chemo- and / or bio-luminescence when absorbing an energy-rich light (usually ultraviolet light), is a light phenomenon caused. It is preferred in the context of the invention that the lighting effect takes place in visible light.
- the invention is not limited to this.
- this light phenomenon can therefore also take place in the invisible spectral range and can be evaluated by machine.
- the invention is also not limited to excitation with UV light; It is therefore also possible to provide an excitation in a corresponding electromagnetic field which is suitable for causing the substance to light up (visible or invisible).
- the different interactions between laser light and matter include the bleaching of color-active substances. According to the invention, it is possible here to destroy these color-active substances with the aid of a laser beam. For example, the body color of a substrate containing pigments changes from colored to white.
- the color-active substance absorbs the laser light and undergoes a chemical reaction in which it loses its color properties.
- the color-active substance is chemically broken down.
- the laser light should not stimulate any side reactions that lead to discolouration of the substrate and therefore do not cause bleaching to white.
- UV inks contain pigments or dyes which normally do not appear colored or are only weakly colored, but are stimulated to emit visible light by UV absorption or other electromagnetic excitation.
- the phenomenon is generally referred to as "cold glow” or luminescence.
- fluorescence and phosphorescence Depending on the lifespan of the excited states, a distinction is made between fluorescence and phosphorescence, with the emission occurring very quickly in the first case and afterglow also being observed after the UV excitation in the second case.
- UV inks is used frequently, but is misleading in that most of the so-called substances are not colored. In addition, the term “UV inks” is used inaccurately for UV-curing printing inks. The term UV does not refer to luminescent effects, but to the mechanism of chemical hardening during processing.
- UV inks the color-active substance is destroyed by intensive laser light, analogously to the absorption inks.
- the substrate should not be damaged in the visible range or its color impression changed.
- a selective (UV) wavelength range must therefore be used (Band, in the non-visible range) and the intensity must be dosed so that the UV color itself is excited by the absorption and then disintegrates, which corresponds to bleaching, in this way the bleaching would be done with visible pigments ,
- UV inks are not or only weakly colored under normal conditions, they hardly absorb any visible light. For this reason, ultraviolet light must be used for bleaching. In this case, a laser wavelength range should preferably be selected, which is particularly different from the "UV ink” used is well absorbed.
- UV inks that are suitable for bleaching by UV laser radiation belong to the following classes of substances, for example:
- Tin sulfide derivatives benzoxazinone derivatives
- infrared radiation and / or radiation of other wavelengths can also be used for bleaching the “UV colors” if the color-active substances in the corresponding spectral range absorb the radiation used in each case without the color-active substances becoming visibly discolored.
- the substrate to be marked has a uniform luminescence. This is achieved by evenly applying "UV printing inks” or by incorporating the "UV inks” into a polymer matrix.
- the substrate can then be marked with the aid of the laser by completely bleaching the “UV color” locally. In this way, for example, vector fonts or raster scanning images can be generated.
- partially bleaching by modulating the laser power achieve and thus generate grayscale images.
- images printed with “UV inks” or other security features that contain “UV inks” can also be subsequently marked.
- FIG. 2 section through the card structure according to FIG. 1 with the action of a laser beam
- FIG. 3 shows a schematic plan view of the structure according to FIG. 2;
- FIG. 1 an excerpt from a map structure is shown in section on an unscaled scale.
- a luminescent authenticity feature 3 is arranged on a carrier film 2.
- the structure 4 When illuminated with, for example, UV light 5, the structure 4 is excited in such a way that, for example, lighting occurs in visible light 6.
- this authenticity feature 3 is now to be personalized.
- a laser beam 7 (see FIGS. 2 and 3) is used, for example Lettering 8 inscribed in the structure 4 of the authenticity feature 3.
- the intensity of the laser beam is selected so that the structure 4 is transferred to the structure 4 'only in the area of the action of the laser beam.
- the structure 4 ' should not have any structure or color change which can be seen in visible light.
- the luminescence is chosen by choosing the intensity of the laser beam 7 so that there is only an impairment of the luminescence, but not an extinction, a halftone or grayscale image can be seen as the lettering 8 even when irradiated with a UV lamp 10 ,
