Definitions

  • the invention relates to methods for preventing the fraudulent reproduction of authentic documents, such as identity documents, banknotes, credit cards, etc.
  • the invention more particularly relates to affixing a "latent image" to the surface of such documents.
  • latent image means an image that can not be detected under "normal” observation conditions, that is to say when the document carrying such a latent image is observed under an angle perpendicular to its surface, while latent images only appear when the document is viewed from a defined angle.
  • this effect is obtained by printing regular reliefs, obtained in particular by a support structure in light relief (printing intaglio).
  • the latent image appears by a simple parallax effect when the reliefs are observed from a point located near their axis of extension (or perpendicular to it).
  • the object of the invention is that the image obtained is impossible to reproduce.
  • Another object of the invention is that the method is simple to implement.
  • the pattern comprises an area comprising a first network of lines extending along a preferred axis and at least a second zone comprising a second network of lines extending along an axis different from the preferred axis, to produce a latent image on the document.
  • operation b can be preceded by a preliminary printing.
  • the operation b may also be preceded by the apposition of a preliminary element such as a hologram.
  • the printing process is preferably selected from the following methods: screen printing, flexography, gravure printing.
  • the polymerization accelerator is activated by an energy supply by electromagnetic radiation, selected from the following: infrared, UV, microwave.
  • the Fig. 1 shows how the method of the invention makes it possible to produce a conventional latent image.
  • a first pattern A consisting of spaced lines 1 is formed in relief by the method of the invention on a substrate 2.
  • the lines in relief 1 extend along a preferred axis ⁇ .
  • a second pattern B, also consisting of spaced lines 3 is carried on the same substrate.
  • the raised lines 3 extend along another preferred axis ⁇ , clearly differentiated from ⁇ , or even perpendicular thereto.
  • These methods include, typically, screen printing, flexography and gravure printing.
  • the current practice in printing is that, in order to obtain the maximum optical effect of the pigments dispersed in the ink, the ink layer is as thin as possible, and therefore practically two-dimensional.
  • a thin layer also, in general, has the advantage of better adhesion to the support.
  • the relief patterns A and B can be made over a conventional printed pattern, or even on a piece of data authenticating the document, such as a holographic image, which, by its very presence (even if it is a coarse fake) may be enough for an observer who pays little heed to the authenticity of a document.
  • the method of the invention also allows identification and authentication of the document by the touch, the relief giving the document a distinct tactile sensation.
