Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Gegenstand, zumindest teilweise bestehend aus Glas oder Glaskeramik mit einem in nicht digitaler Drucktechnik aufgebrachten Aufdruck.The invention relates to an object, at least partially consisting of Glass or glass ceramic with a non-digital printing technique Imprint.

Bekannt sind dekorierte Glaskeramikkochflächen (z. B. CERAN-Glaskeramikkochflächen). Herdblenden und Backofenvorsatzscheiben aus Glas. Aus dem Bereich der Automobilvergiasung sind Front-, Seiten- und Heckscheiben bekannt, die am Rand eine, in der Regel schwarze, deckende Bedruckung aufweisen. Weiterhin sind aus dem Bereich der Pharmaverpackung Glasampullen bzw. Glasbehälter bekannt, auf die Herstellerlogogs, Präparat-Namen und/oder Produktionschargen-Kennzeichnungen aufgedruckt sind. Decorated glass ceramic cooktops (e.g. CERAN glass ceramic cooktops) are known. Stove covers and oven front glass panels. From the Front, side and rear windows are known in the field of automotive glazing, which have a, usually black, opaque print on the edge. Glass ampoules are also from the field of pharmaceutical packaging or glass container known, on the manufacturer's logs, preparation names and / or Production batch labels are printed.

Bei den oben genannten Glas- bzw. Glaskeramik-Gegenständen werden die Dekoration bzw. werden die Kennzeichnungen mittels Siebdruck aufgebracht. Der Siebdruck ist insbesondere bei der Glasbedruckung ein inzwischen bewährtes Druckverfahren, welches insbesondere bei großen Losgrößen wirtschaftlich eingesetzt wird. Zudem lassen sich damit auf Glasgegenstände relativ dicke und damit opake Schichten in einem Druckvorgang realisieren. Nachteilig ist dabei allerdings, dass individuelle Dekore und/oder Kennzeichnungen wirtschaftlich mit diesem Verfahren nicht realisierbar sind.In the case of the above-mentioned glass or glass ceramic objects, the Decoration or the markings are applied by screen printing. Screen printing is now a proven method, especially for glass printing Printing process, which is particularly economical with large lot sizes is used. In addition, it can be used on glass objects relatively thick and so that opaque layers can be realized in one printing process. The disadvantage is however, that individual decors and / or labels are economical cannot be realized with this method.

Andererseits besteht bereits der Wunsch, derartige Gegenstände wirtschaftlich mit individuellen Dekoren bzw. Kennzeichnungen zu bedrucken, um einerseits Design- und Markttrends nachzukommen und andererseits damit Lösungsansätze hinsichtlich einer besseren Rückverfolgbarkeit im Rahmen der Produktions-Logistik und Produzentenhaftung, einem Diebstahlschutz sowie einem Schutz vor Nachahmern und Fälschern zu bieten.On the other hand, there is already a desire to make such items economical with individual decors or markings to print on the one hand To follow design and market trends and on the other hand to find solutions regarding better traceability in the context of production logistics and producer liability, theft protection and one To offer protection against imitators and counterfeiters.

Für Autoscheiben gibt es inszwischen die Möglichkeit, mit speziellen ätzenden Farben nachträglich die Fahrgestellnummer auf jede der Scheiben zu dekorieren, um einen verbesserten Diebstahlschutz, insbesondere bei teuren Fahrzeugen der Luxusklasse, zu gewährleisten. Dieses Verfahren ist teuer und aufwendig und kann bei falscher Handhabung zu Schäden am Fahrzeug führen.For car windows there is now the option of using special caustic Colors to decorate the chassis number on each of the disks, to improve theft protection, especially in expensive vehicles Luxury class, to ensure. This process is expensive and complex can cause damage to the vehicle if handled incorrectly.

In der Vergangenheit sind andererseits bereits Verfahren vorgeschlagen worden, mit denen man individuelle Dekore bzw. Kennzeichnungen auf Glas realisieren kann (EP 0647885). Nachteilig ist, dass z. Z. o. g. Vorteile des Siebdruckes damit alleine nicht realisiert werden können. Zudem sind derartige Abziehbildtechniken in modernen Produktionsabläufen umständlich. On the other hand, procedures have been proposed in the past with which one can realize individual decors or markings on glass can (EP 0647885). The disadvantage is that z. Z. o. G. Advantages of screen printing so that cannot be realized alone. Such decal techniques are also cumbersome in modern production processes.

Besser eignen sich Druckvorrichtungen, die es erlauben direkt auf das Glas oder auf die Glaskeramik zu drucken (DE-P 19849500).Printing devices that allow direct printing on the glass or are better suited to be printed on the glass ceramic (DE-P 19849500).

Aus der EP 0647885 A1 ist ein Verfahren bekannt, bei dem auf elektrofotografischem Wege und unter Verwendung keramischer Toner ein Abziehbild erzeugt wird. Die Abziehbildtechnik hat sich aber in modernen Produktionsabläufen nicht bewährt. Es sind daher Verfahren entwickelt worden, die es erlauben direkt auf das Glas oder die Glaskeramik zu drucken, wie dies die DE 19849500 A1 zeigt.From EP 0647885 A1 a method is known in which the electrophotographic Ways and using ceramic toner a decal is created becomes. The decal technique has however in modern production processes not proven. Methods have therefore been developed which allow it to print directly on the glass or the glass ceramic, as is the DE 19849500 A1 shows.

Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung, einen Gegenstand der eingangs erwähnten Art zu schaffen, der neben einer bereits aufgebrachten Dekoration bzw. Kennzeichnung auch individuell bedruckte Oberflächenbereich aufweist. Es ist auch Aufgabe der Erfindung ein Verfahren zur Bedruckung eines derartigen Gegenstandes zu schaffen.It is an object of the invention to provide an object of the type mentioned at the beginning create the next to an already applied decoration or marking also has individually printed surface area. It is also The object of the invention is a method for printing such an object to accomplish.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung wird dadurch gelöst, dass das Glas oder die Glaskeramik wenigstens einen Oberflächenbereich aufweist, der mit einem in digitaler Drucktechnik erzeugten Druckbild (nachfolgend kurz Digitalbild genannt) versehen ist.The object of the invention is achieved in that the glass or the glass ceramic has at least one surface area that is in digital Printing technology generated print image (hereinafter briefly called digital image) is.

Mittels der Kombination der beiden Drucktechniken, Digitaldruck zum einen und nicht digitale Drucktechnik auf der anderen Seite, können die jeweiligen Vorteile der Einzelverfahren kombiniert werden. Das Digitalbild ermöglicht es dem Gegenstand, einen individuellen Charakter zu verleihen bzw. zusätzliche, nur auf diesem Gegenstand bzw. den Inhalt bezogene Informationen zu enthalten. By combining the two printing techniques, digital printing on the one hand and not digital printing technology on the other hand, can have their respective advantages of the individual processes can be combined. The digital image makes it possible Object to give an individual character or additional, only on to contain information related to this subject or content.

Damit kann beispielsweise auch eine Rückverfolgbarkeit gewährleistet werden, die den Gegenstand beziehungsweise dessen Inhalt unverwechselbar werden lassen. Das Digitalbild kann Stück für Stück geändert werden, wordurch eine größtmögliche Flexibilität erreicht wird. Das nicht digital erzeugte Druckbild kann in konventioneller Weise beispielsweise im Siebdruckverfahren aufgebracht werden. Hierbei kommen großtechnisch ausgereifte Verfahren zum Einsatz, mittels denen sich komplexe Dekore mit guter Qualtität schaffen lassen.This can also ensure traceability, for example, that make the object or its content unique to let. The digital image can be changed bit by bit, making a greatest possible flexibility is achieved. The non-digitally generated print image can be applied in a conventional manner, for example by screen printing become. Technically mature processes are used here, by means of which complex decors with good quality can be created.

Die Digitaltechnik kann dabei insbesondere ausgenutzt werden, um einen Barcode, einen Zahlencode, einen Matrixcode und/oder einen 2-D-Barcode auf den Gegenstand aufzudrucken. Diese Digitaldrucke können idividualisiert in Scannern ausgelesen werden.The digital technology can in particular be used to Barcode, a number code, a matrix code and / or a 2-D barcode to print the object. These digital prints can be customized in Scanners can be read out.

Gemäß einer möglichen Erfindungsvariante kann es vorgesehen sein, dass das Digitalbild von einer keramischen Farbe gebildet, vorzugsweise mittels eines keramischen Toners erzeugt ist. Die keramische Farbe kann dann insbesondere in die Oberfläche des Glases oder der Glaskeramik dauerhaft eingebrannt werden. Denkbar ist auch eine Gestaltung, bei der vorgesehen ist, dass das Digitalbild zumindest teilweise mittels einer kunststoffbasierten Druckfarbe, vorzugsweise mittels eines Toners mit thermoplastischer oder duromerischer Kunststoffmatrix erzeugt ist.According to a possible variant of the invention, it can be provided that the Digital image formed from a ceramic color, preferably by means of a ceramic toner is generated. The ceramic color can then in particular be permanently burned into the surface of the glass or glass ceramic. A design is also conceivable in which it is provided that the digital image at least partially using a plastic-based printing ink, preferably using a toner with a thermoplastic or thermosetting plastic matrix is generated.

Die, das Verfahren betreffende Aufgabe der Erfindung wird dadurch gelöst, dass auf einen weiteren Oberflächenbereich des Glases oder der Glaskeramik in digitaler Drucktechnik ein digital erzeugtes Druckbild (nachfolgend kurz Digitalbild genannt) aufgebracht wird. The object of the invention relating to the method is achieved in that on a further surface area of the glass or the glass ceramic in digital printing technology a digitally generated print image (hereinafter briefly digital image called) is applied.

Die beiden Druckprozesse können zeitgleich oder in zeitlich und/oder räumlich getrennter Folge durchgeführt werden. Sind die Druckpozesse aufeinanderfolgend, dann können diese durch eine Druckmedien-Fixierung voneinander getrennt sein. Denkbar ist auch, dass werksseitig der nicht digitale Druck vorgenommen wird. Erst beim Endkunden erfolgt dann die Individualisierung mittels Digitaldruck. Auf diese Weise werden neue logistische Möglichkeiten eröffnet.The two printing processes can be simultaneous or in time and / or space be carried out separately. If the printing processes are consecutive, then these can be separated from each other by a print media fixation his. It is also conceivable that the non-digital printing is carried out at the factory becomes. The individualization then only takes place at the end customer Digital printing. This opens up new logistical opportunities.

Erfindungsgemäß kann es zur Druckfixierung vorgesehen sein, dass das Digitalbild und das nicht digital erzeugte Druckbild in das Glas oder die Glaskeramik gemeinsam eingebrannt werden.According to the invention, the digital image can be provided for fixing the print and the non-digitally generated print image in the glass or the glass ceramic be branded together.

Bei der Anwendung der Drucktechnik auf Glaskeramiken ist es insbesondere möglich, dass das Digitalbild mittels eines lokal begrenzten, auf der Glaskeramikoberfläche einwirkenden Einbrandes fixiert wird.It is particularly important when applying printing technology to glass ceramics possible that the digital image by means of a locally limited, on the glass ceramic surface effective penetration is fixed.

Um bei der Verwendung keramischer Farben eine zuverlässige Fixierung zu erreichen, kann es vorgesehen sein, dass der Einbrand, der das Digitalbild zumindest teilweise schaffenden keramischen Farbe bei einer Temparatur ≥ 700°C und während einer Einbranddauer ≥ 3 min erfolgt.To ensure reliable fixation when using ceramic paints achieve, it can be provided that the penetration that the digital image at least partially creating ceramic color with a temperature ≥ 700 ° C and during a burn-in period ≥ 3 min.

Verfahrensgemäß kann die Erzeugung des Digitalbildes auf unterschiedlichen Wegen erfolgen.According to the method, the generation of the digital image on different Because of it.

Es kann insbesondere vorgesehen sein, dass das Digitalbild im elektrofotografischen oder im Tintenstrahldruckverfahren aufgebracht wird. Denkbar ist auch, dass das Digitalbild im Laserverfahren aufgebracht wird, wobei ein Druckmedium großflächig auf das Glas oder die Glaskeramik aufgebracht wird und wobei dieses dann lokal mittels eines Lasers eingebrannt wird. In particular, it can be provided that the digital image in the electrophotographic or is applied by inkjet printing. It is also conceivable that the digital image is applied in a laser process, using a printing medium is applied over a large area to the glass or the glass ceramic and wherein this is then burned in locally using a laser.

Gemäß einer möglichen Erfindungsvariante kann es vorgesehen sein, dass das Digitalbild aufgebracht und in das Glas oder die Glaskeramik eingebrannt wird, und dass anschließend das Glas oder die Glaskermaik thermisch vorgespannt wird.According to a possible variant of the invention, it can be provided that the Digital image is applied and burned into the glass or glass ceramic, and that the glass or glass ceramic is then thermally tempered becomes.

Eine denkbare Erfindungsvariante kann derart ausgeführt sein, dass das Digitalbild unter Verwendung einer kunststoffbasierten Druckfarbe, vorzugsweise mittels eines Toners mit thermoplastischer oder duromerischer Kunststoffmatrix erzeugt wird, und dass das Digitalbild bei einer Temperatur im Bereich zwischen 130°C und 200°C fixiert wird.A conceivable variant of the invention can be designed such that the digital image using a plastic based ink, preferably using a toner with a thermoplastic or thermoset plastic matrix is generated and that the digital image at a temperature in the range between 130 ° C and 200 ° C is fixed.

Die Erfindung wird im folgenden anhand von einigen Ausführungsbeispielen näher erläutert.The invention is illustrated below with the aid of a few exemplary embodiments explained in more detail.

Ausfühungsbeispiel 1: Glaskeramik-KochflächenExample 1: Glass ceramic cooktops

In der Zeichnung ist eine Glaskeramik-Kochfläche (1) in Draufsicht schematisch dargestellt. Zu erkennen sind Kochzonenmarkierungen (2.1), Hersteller-Logos (2.2) sowie Dekorbereiche (2.3), die bestimmte Dekorraster aufweisen, die in vergleichsweise großen Fertigungslosen mit der Siebdruck-Technologie hergestellt wurden. Zusätzlich weist diese Kochfläche (1) mindestens einen zusätzlichen Oberflächenbereich (3) auf, in dem individuelle Zeichen oder Logos in Form eines in Digitaltechnik erzeugten Digitalbildes (4) aufgebracht sind.In the drawing, a glass ceramic cooktop (1) is schematic in plan view shown. Cooking zone markings (2.1) and manufacturer logos can be seen (2.2) and decor areas (2.3), which have certain decor grids, which in comparatively large production lots with screen printing technology were. In addition, this cooking surface (1) has at least one additional one Surface area (3) in which individual characters or logos in Form of a digital image (4) generated in digital technology are applied.

Diese Digitalbilder (4) sind beispielsweise:

  • Schriftzüge, wie "Private Edition - exclusive für <NAME des Endkunden, NAME der Elektro-Handelsgesellschaft oder NAME des Küchenstudios > ", "Edition..."
  • Firmenlogos, z. B. die von großen Einrichtungshäusern, Küchenhäusern oder Elektro-Handelsgesellschaften, die derartige Kochflächen (1) vertreiben.
  • Barcodes, Zahlencodes, Matrixcodes oder 2-D-Barcodes etc. die zur Kennzeichnung der Produktionscharge, Artikelnummer odgl. dienen.
  • aufgerasterte Bilder, z. B. von den Endkunden (z. B. in Verbindung mit dem Schriftzug "Familien-Edition" + Photo der Familienmitglieder, z. B. innerhalb jeder Kochzone).
  • Schriftzüge in asiatischen oder arabischen Sprachen, die Sicherheitshinweise enthalten. Oft weisen derartige Schriften feine Lininezüge auf, die im Zuge der normalen Dekoration nicht fein genug gedruckt werden können.
  • feine Symbole innerhalb von Funktionszonen, wie Bedienfelder innerhalb der Kochflächen (1).
These digital images (4) are, for example:
  • Lettering such as "Private Edition - exclusive for <NAME of the end customer, NAME of the electrical retail company or NAME of the kitchen studio>", "Edition ..."
  • Company logos, e.g. B. from large furniture stores, kitchen houses or electrical retail companies that sell such cooking surfaces (1).
  • Barcodes, number codes, matrix codes or 2-D barcodes etc. which identify the production batch, article number or the like. serve.
  • rasterized images, e.g. B. from the end customer (e.g. in connection with the lettering "Family Edition" + photo of the family members, e.g. within each cooking zone).
  • Lettering in Asian or Arabic languages that contain safety instructions. Such fonts often have fine lines that cannot be printed fine enough in the course of normal decoration.
  • fine symbols within functional zones, such as control panels within the cooking surfaces (1).

Zur Herstellung dieser individuellen Digitalbilder (4) werden digitale Drucktechnologien, wie Inkiet-Verfaheren, elektrofotografische Verfahren eingesetzt. Aber auch Laser-Verfahren, bei denen das Druckmedium zuvor ganzflächig aufgebracht wird und anschl. mit dem Laser lokal eingebrannt wird, sind grundsätzlich zur Herstellung geeignet. To produce these individual digital images (4), digital printing technologies, such as deposit processes, electrophotographic processes. But also laser processes, in which the printing medium previously covered the entire surface is applied and then burned locally with the laser, are fundamentally suitable for production.

Besonders vorteilhaft sind aufgrund der hohen Prozessgeschwindigkeit und der hierbei zum Einsatz kommenden keramischen Farben elektrofotografische Verfahren, bei denen die keramische Farbe in Form von keramischen Toner direkt auf die Glaskeramik gedruckt wird.Are particularly advantageous due to the high process speed and Ceramic colors used here are electrophotographic Process in which the ceramic color is in the form of ceramic toner is printed directly on the glass ceramic.

Der Druck kann sowohl direkt nachgeschaltet, nach dem üblichen Siebdruckprozess auf die noch nicht keramisierte Kochfläche oder off-line auf die dekorierte und bereits keramisierte Kochfläche erfolgen. Der Einbrand erfolgt dann im ersten Fall zusammen mit den siebgedruckten, ggf. zwischengetrockneten Dekofarben oder, im zweiten Fall, durch einen zusätzlichen kurzen Einbrand, der (nur!) im Fall der Glaskeramik aufgrund des Nullausdehnungsverhaltens lokal erfolgen kann. Es genügt, wenn nur der Oberflächenbereich (3) mit den Digitalbildern (4) auf eine Temperatur von > 700°C (typ. ca. 720°C) für 5 bis 10 min. erhitzt wird. Dies eröffnet grundsätzlich auch neue logistische Möglichkeiten, die eine nachträgliche Individualisierung erst kurz vor der Auslieferung an den Endkunden ermöglichen.The printing can be done directly after the usual screen printing process on the not yet ceramicized cooking surface or off-line on the decorated one and already ceramicized cooking surface. The branding then takes place in first case together with the screen-printed, possibly intermediate-dried Decorative colors or, in the second case, with an additional short penetration, the (only!) locally in the case of glass ceramics due to the zero expansion behavior can be done. It is sufficient if only the surface area (3) with the digital images (4) to a temperature of> 700 ° C (typically approx. 720 ° C) for 5 to 10 minute is heated. Basically, this also opens up new logistical opportunities, which a subsequent individualization only shortly before delivery to the end customer.

Ausführungsbeispiel 2: Glaskeramik-KaminsichtscheibenEmbodiment 2: Glass-ceramic fireplace viewing panels

Da es sich hierbei ebenfalls um eine Glaskeramik handelt, kann der Herstellerprozess grundsätzlich wie beim Ausführungsbeispiel 1 erfolgen. Auch ergeben sich für die Digitalbilder (4) ähnliche Möglichkeiten, wie bereits oben beschrieben. Since this is also a glass ceramic, the manufacturing process can fundamentally as in embodiment 1. Surrender too similar possibilities for the digital images (4), as already described above.

Ausführungsbeispiel 3: Herdsichtscheiben und Bedien-Blenden für HausgeräteEmbodiment 3: focus glasses and control panels for household appliances

Grundsätzlich lassen sich gemäß der Erfindung Ausführungen wie in Beispiel 1 realisieren. Bei Verwendung von keramischen Farben erfolgt der 2. digitale Druckprozess vor dem Vorspannprozess. Ein nachträgliches Einbrennen nach dem Vorspannen des Glases ist nicht mehr möglich. Bei Verwendung von Kunststoff basierenden Farben, z. B. duroplastische oder thermoplastische Farben, ist eine Fixierung der Farbe auch nach dem Vorspannen möglich (Temperatur typ. zwischen 130 und 200°C, je nach Kunststoff).Basically, according to the invention, designs as in Example 1 can be used realize. When using ceramic colors, the 2nd digital one is used Printing process before the tempering process. A subsequent branding after tempering the glass is no longer possible. When using Plastic based paints, e.g. B. thermosetting or thermoplastic Colors, the color can also be fixed after tempering (temperature typically between 130 and 200 ° C, depending on the plastic).

In der Regel wird bei dieser Anwendung aber zunächst der Bereich der individuellen Zeichen gedruckt, und anschließend, nach einer Zwischentrockung, mittels Siebdruck die gesamte Oberfläche hinterdruckt.As a rule, in this application, however, the area of individual Characters printed, and then, after an intermediate drying, using Screen printing of the entire surface.

Ausführungsbeispiel 4: AutoglasEmbodiment 4: car glass

Bei diesem Ausführungsbeispiel handelt es sich um Front-, Seiten- und/oder Heckscheiben von Kraftfahrzeugen, die eine Dekoration in Form von umlaufenden, meist schwarz gefärbten Rändern, aufweisen, die eine möglichst gute Opazität aufweisen sollen, um Verklebungen bzw. Montageelemente zu kaschieren. Diese Randbedruckung wird üblicherweise in einem ersten Bedruckungsschritt mittels Siebdruck hergestellt. Zusätzlich weisen diese Scheiben Zonen auf in denen individuelle Zeichen und Codes aufgebracht sind, die den späteren Indentifikationscode des Fahrzeuges enthalten, oder fortlaufende Seriennummern enthalten, die nach der Montage im Fahrzeug zusammen mit der Fahrgestellnummer des Fahrzeuges einen Identifikationscode für das Fahrzeug ergeben, der zur besseren Verfolgbarkeit bei Diebstählen genutzt werden kann. This embodiment is front, side and / or Rear windows of motor vehicles that have a decoration in the form of revolving, mostly black colored edges, which have the best possible Should have opacity in order to conceal bonds or assembly elements. This edge printing is usually done in a first printing step made by screen printing. In addition, these disks have zones on which individual characters and codes are applied, which the later Contain the vehicle identification code or serial numbers included after assembly in the vehicle together with the chassis number of the vehicle an identification code for the vehicle result that can be used for better traceability in the event of theft.

Zusätzlich kann dieser Code Aufschluss über den Produktionszeitraum bzw. über sonstige Hersteller-Angaben, wie Artikel-Nummer, Fahrzeugtyp etc., geben. Geeignet sind dafür:

  • maschinenlesbare Barcodes,
  • maschinenlesbare Matrixcodes,
  • Ziffern und/oder Buchstaben,
  • etc.
In addition, this code can provide information about the production period or other manufacturer information, such as article number, vehicle type, etc. The following are suitable:
  • machine-readable barcodes,
  • machine readable matrix codes,
  • Numbers and / or letters,
  • Etc.

Auch hier bringt die Verwendung von keramischen Farben den Vorteil, dass diese im nachfolgenden Vorspannprozess dauerhaft fest in die Glasoberfläche eingebrannt werden.Here too, the use of ceramic paints has the advantage that in the subsequent tempering process, this is permanently fixed in the glass surface be branded.

Der Herstellerprozess für derartig individualisierte Autoscheiben geht hier ebenfalls von einem 2-Stufen-Druckpozess aus, der den Siebdruck mit dem digitalen Druck, hier insbesondere der elektrofotografische Druckprozess kombiniert.The manufacturing process for such individualized car windows also works here from a 2-step printing process that combines screen printing with digital Printing, in particular the electrophotographic printing process combined here.

Ausführungsbeispiel 5: PharmaverpackungEmbodiment 5: pharmaceutical packaging

Bereits heute ist es üblich und sogar vom Gesetzgeber vorgeschrieben, dass Ampullen oder Glasfläschchen mit dem Präparatnamen und Angaben zum Herstelldatum, zur Charge versehen sein müssen.

Nachahmern dienen. It is already common today and even prescribed by law that Ampoules or glass vials with the preparation name and information on the Date of manufacture, must be provided for the batch. In addition to the batch labels indicate the pharmaceutical packaging made of glass according to the invention Zones that contain serial numbers encoded in codes on the one hand, that are used for traceability, and on the other hand logos or matrix codes contain, due to the fine resolution as protection against counterfeiters or Serve imitators.

Derartige Logos sind beispielsweise feine Matrix-Codes, in Form eines Pixel-Feldes, mit denen sich verhältnismäßig umfangreiche, individuelle Informationen auf kleinstem Raum speichern lassen. Diese können inszwischen mittels spezieller Scanner ausgelesen werden.Such logos are, for example, fine matrix codes, in the form of a pixel field, with which relatively extensive, individual information Have it stored in the smallest space. These can now be done using special Scanner can be read out.
