Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a flexographic printing device, sheet by sheet, of security documents.
  • security documents any document having a fiduciary and / or official value, issued by the State, one of its administrations or by private companies such as banks.
  • Examples of such documents include banknotes, passport papers, identity cards, checks, etc.
  • One of the proposed solutions is the use of new media.
  • the latter are obtained either by substituting all or part of the natural fibers which traditionally constitute the paper used as a support, by synthetic polymers, or by a coating of polymers on the surface of the paper.
  • safety liquid inks have been developed which include optical effect inks, metallic inks, luminescent inks and iridescent inks.
  • Such a technique is particularly restrictive because it requires to let the leaves dry before returning them. Such handling may also cause misalignment of the sheets for second printing.
  • EP-A-0 976 555 describes a device for printing two-sided sheets without turning over.
  • This device comprises an upper cylinder followed by a lower cylinder arranged adjacent in the direction of movement of the sheets.
  • Each of these cylinders is associated with a printing unit and / or all or part of a drying unit.
  • These two cylinders constitute a module that can be repeated a number of times.
  • this solution limits the thickness of the deposit made by each printing group. A larger deposit would not be able to dry, given the very short time and the limited possibility of drying before the next printing step. Otherwise, problems of report (some of the ink is reported on the neighboring printing cylinder) are to be feared.
  • the arrangement of the cylinders in the form of modules of two units is unsuitable when the treatment to be performed on the front face of the sheets is different from that to be implemented on the reverse side.
  • four cylinders each associated with a printing unit are necessary.
  • the present invention therefore aims to provide a flexographic printing device, sheet by sheet, security documents, which overcomes the aforementioned drawbacks.
  • it is a device that offers the time and space needed for ink or varnish to dry between the front and back printing stations.
  • it allows a large number of configurations of printing stations, in the event that the operations to be implemented on the front face are different from those to be performed on the reverse side.
  • such a device allows to provide sufficient space to ensure easy access to different printing stations.
  • printing it is meant both to lay on the sheets a thickness of a material such as a varnish, as to achieve, with the aid of inks, figures or alphabetic characters or digital.
  • the printing device shown in Figure 1 attached allows both the coating of security documents, sheet by sheet, as printing on these documents of characters or drawings, by the flexographic printing technique.
  • the printing device comprises a supply station 1 which constitutes the upstream end of the device. At this station are stored the sheets to be treated. They have received previously, if necessary, impressions made according to other types of technique.
  • This station comprises means for moving the sheets, one by one, to a first transfer cylinder 20.
  • These means are for example treadmill.
  • the cylinder 20 is coupled to a counter-pressure cylinder 21.
  • These two first cylinders constitute a set of six cylinders with parallel and horizontal axes of rotation, this assembly bearing the reference numeral 2.
  • the dimensions of the sheets and the diameter of the rolls are provided so that the routing of the sheets is done without problem, that is to say without risk that one of them will come off a cylinder and fall to the ground.
  • the drive means of the cylinders for example made of electric motors, have not been represented.
  • the first flexographic printing station 3 In the vicinity of the upper part of the cylinder 21 is the first flexographic printing station 3.
  • the varnish or the ink to be applied to the sheets is collected from a doctor blade chamber 31 by a honeycombed cylinder commonly referred to as "anilox" 30. It is then transferred onto the sheet by a fixed plate or blanket. at the periphery of an intermediate cylinder 32 which cooperates with the cylinder 21.
  • the sheets are taken up by a pair of intermediate cylinders 22 and 23, the second being disposed higher than the first relative to the ground.
  • two intermediate cylinders are shown. In a different embodiment, this number could be higher.
  • these intermediate cylinders are hollow cylinders, which means that they consist essentially of two parallel metallic circles connected by a series of rods extending along the generatrices of said cylinder. Means such as pliers make it possible to grasp the leaves.
  • Dryers not shown are for example arranged near the cylinders 22 and 23 to improve and make even faster drying of the deposit made on the upper face of the paper.
  • the device also comprises a new counter-pressure cylinder 24 and a transfer cylinder 25. It is in the lower part of the cylinder 24 that is arranged the second flexographic printing station.
  • the varnish or the ink is taken from a doctor chamber 41 by a honeycombed cylinder 40 and transferred onto the reverse side, in this case paper by a plate or a blanket attached to a cylinder 42.
  • the cylinders 24 and 25 are arranged at respectively greater distances from each other relative to the ground, so that the sheets undergo, from the first flexographic printing station, the output of the second, a movement of ascending trajectory.
  • the printing is carried out in a downward direction, while at the station 4, the printing is carried out in an inverted direction, from the bottom upwards. In this way, the compactness of the device is further improved.
  • the transfer cylinder 25 is used to deliver the treated sheets on both sides to an endless conveyor belt conveyor.
  • This equipment is able to convey the treated sheets to a storage and removal station referenced 6.
  • This station is for example equipped with carriages 60 able to receive the treated sheets F, in the form of a stack.
  • the upward trajectory of the paper between the two stations in addition to improving the compactness of the device in the direction of the movement of the sheets, provides the bottom of the device a space E which allows an operator to monitor the progress of the impression and, more particularly, the smooth running of the printing of the back side of the sheets.
  • this space can be set up a carriage 7 with movable arm 70, adapted to receive in a gutter 71 provided for this purpose, the roller 40 for maintenance or change.
  • Figure 2 is shown a device according to the invention, which allows for two separate prints on the front of the sheets and only an impression on the back.
  • the back printing station 4 is, in turn, separated from the group 3B by two transfer cylinders 22 and 23, this item being offset in height relative to the station 3B.
  • Figure 3 shows, in turn, a device that allows for printing on the front of the sheets, and two impressions on the back.
  • the simplex station is referenced 3, while the two verso stations are referenced 4A and 4B.
  • the hollow transfer cylinders, in particular 22 and 23, have been shown in a different manner from the counterpressure cylinders 21 and 24 associated with the printing devices.
  • the printing device according to the invention can be used to produce either a varnishing of the sheets or the production of figures or characters.
  • the solution chosen to increase the durability of banknotes in circulation is a two-sided overprint of said banknotes.
  • the device according to the invention optimally controls the deposition of varnish by adjusting, as appropriate, the volume of alinox and the doctor chamber and the plate for the transfer efficiency.
  • An acrylic water-based varnish is quite suitable and also has advantages in terms of environmental protection.
  • the bank notes thus treated also have particularly improved characteristics compared to unvarnished banknotes, which comply with the state of the art.
  • tickets thus varnished absorb much less water.
  • water contributes to the premature aging of the notes, by hydrolysis of inter-fiber bonds of cellulose.
  • the coating makes it possible to improve the duration of the mechanical properties of the support over time.
  • the varnishing also contributes to a better hold of luminescent inks even when the ticket has unfortunately been subjected to a stay in hot water, possibly with added laundry.
  • the lacquer film also has excellent chemical resistance and improves the abrasion resistance of the billet by about 50%.
  • the coating treatment makes it possible to significantly increase the protection of the ticket against soiling, by forming a screen against said soiling.
  • the device according to the invention When the device according to the invention is used for printing in the form of drawings or writing lines, it is possible to use different types of water-based liquid ink, solvent-based, or ultraviolet-ray drying. . Indeed, said device allows to use a choice of hot air drying, infrared or ultraviolet. Moreover, a mixed drying can also be obtained.
  • liquid inks it is possible to use in particular safe inks, such as OVI inks (registered trademark), iridescent, phosphorescent, metallic or magnetic inks. We can also take advantage of the quality of the double-sided registration to obtain the original effects.
  • safe inks such as OVI inks (registered trademark), iridescent, phosphorescent, metallic or magnetic inks.
