Definitions

  • the invention relates to a valuable item, in particular a document of value such as a banknote, with at least one arranged on a surface, a print image comprising security element, wherein the printed image contains at least two different colors, of which at least one thermochromic properties and such a security element. Moreover, the invention relates to a method for producing a printed image and a method for producing a valuable article with such, disposed on a surface security element.
  • a valuable item in the sense of the invention can be any item intended to be protected, such as branded articles or value documents.
  • Value documents for the purposes of the present invention are in particular banknotes, but also checks, check cards, credit cards, identity cards, passports, entrance tickets, train tickets and the like.
  • thermochromic materials which change their color and / or their transmissivity with a change in temperature and, for example, are transparent in a certain temperature range and opaque in another temperature range.
  • thermochromic materials which change their color and / or their transmissivity with a change in temperature and, for example, are transparent in a certain temperature range and opaque in another temperature range.
  • a security thread having a thermochromic coating. Under the coating there may be another imprint, which becomes visually perceptible, for example, at a certain temperature at which the thermochromic coating becomes transparent.
  • the printed image in this case has at least one printed image element at least partially in color, wherein at least one color has thermochromic properties and the colors are at least partially aligned in register or at least partially overlapping each other.
  • the printed image element preferably has lines with line widths of less than 200 ⁇ m, particularly preferably less than 100 ⁇ m, particularly preferably less than 50 ⁇ m.
  • the printed image element executed in micro-printing may be any desired pattern, image motifs, lettering or the like. act.
  • all subregions in the print image element are executed in micro-pressure.
  • the printed image element contains intricate lines, such as guilloches, since a precise two- or multi-color printing of such line patterns is particularly difficult and forgery-proof.
  • a multi-line pattern may be printed in a particular area with a thermochromic color that does not differ at normal temperature from the color used for lines outside that area. However, when the area is heated, the thermochromic color reverses and creates a visible mark within the line pattern.
  • thermochromic ink which is invisible when heated and thus, for example, disappears a printed in this color section within an overall picture. Upon cooling, the image then forms back exactly in register.
  • the colors can be arranged within the printing element register-accurate in adjoining areas, so that the areas abut each other directly, but do not overlap.
  • the different colors are applied in overlapping areas within the print pixel, so that they form a color gradient. For example, by using a blue color and by using a thermochromic color which turns green when red from green, a color transition from blue to green could be displayed at normal temperature which changes to red from blue to blue upon heating.
  • the different colors are printed in a single printing operation with a printing form, i. H. within a printing unit, printed.
  • a printing form i. H. within a printing unit.
  • the advantage of such methods is that several colors are transferred simultaneously in one printing step, so that a register-accurate application of the different colors to one another is reliably ensured. Consequently, in particular all printing techniques are available in which it is possible to apply the colors to the printing form in a targeted manner before printing, such as, for example, intaglio, offset, letter set or letterpress printing.
  • these different colors are selectively applied in adjacent areas on the printing plate. This is for example when using a gravure printing method possible by applying several colors on the printing plate in a "color-cutting technique" side by side over stencils.
  • the templates can be cut into any shape, so that the edge between the different colored areas can run arbitrarily.
  • the different colors are preferably applied to overlapping areas of the printing form prior to printing.
  • the iris printing process is suitable, in which the ink is applied to specific areas of a printing roller by means of further rollers. If two colors are applied next to each other, the desired color transition can be achieved by rubbing these colors on the roller.
  • thermochromic color can be printed together with a non-thermochromic color, but that a combination of two thermochromic colors is possible, but it should be ensured that they have different color / temperature dependencies, so For the viewer a clearly recognizable optical effect occurs.
  • the forgery-proofness of such a printed image can be additionally increased, if one works not only with two different colors, but with three or more colors with different color / temperature dependency.
  • a banknote 1 was chosen as the object of value, since this is a typical value document, which should be as secure as possible against counterfeiting, the security element being, inter alia, the design of the printed image.
  • the invention is not limited to the creation of a printed image on banknotes, but that by means of a any other security elements can be generated such printed image or valuables can be secured against counterfeiting.
  • security elements can also be generated by means of the invention, which are then subsequently connected to the valuable article, such as labels or transfer elements.
  • banknote 1 has a complex print image with many different print pixels 2, 3, 4, 5.
  • One of these printed image elements 2 is a pattern 2 shown in very fine, straight lines 6 in the left third of the banknote 1.
  • Further printed image elements are, for example, a lettering 3 in the middle of the banknote 1 and marginal guilloche 4. In the lower left corner there is a rosette-like print image element 5.
  • the banknote still has a large number of other print image elements. In the following, however, only a few possibilities for the concrete embodiment of the invention will be shown by way of example only with reference to the previously explicitly mentioned selected picture elements.
  • FIG. 11 is an enlarged view of a portion A of the line pattern print pixel 2 on the left side of the pattern banknote 1 in FIG FIG. 1 ,
  • a partial area of the line pattern in the form of the letter "A” is printed in a light blue, thermochromic color F1 in offset technique, which can not be distinguished at room temperature from the light blue color F2 otherwise used in these lines 6.
  • the thermochromic color F1 in the area "A” turns violet, creating a visible sign.
  • the widths of the lines printed with the colors F1 and F2 have values of approx. 100 ⁇ m.
  • the lines printed with the color F1 were indicated by dotted lines, the lines printed with the color F2 symbolized by solid lines.
  • the lines printed in the colors F1 and F2 are recognizable in the printed image as solid lines, which are directly adjacent to each other.
  • FIGS. 3 and 4 each show enlargements of the letters "De” and "i” in the lettering "Devrient” of the banknote 1 according to FIG. 1 .
  • the lettering print image elements 3 was produced by intaglio printing. Certain areas within the stitch print are printed with a thermochromic ink F1 which disappears when heated or turns into another color.
  • a thermochromic ink F1 which disappears when heated or turns into another color.
  • FIG. 3 shows FIG. 3 the case where a filling area within the letter "D" of the lettering - bounded by a sharp line in the color F2 - is printed in a thermochromic ink F1 which disappears upon heating, so that in this area a seemingly "unprinted" space within of the print pixel 3 is formed.
  • FIG. 4 shows, as another example, an area bounded by a line in red color F2 within the i-point of the lettering, which is filled by a red thermochromic color F1 which, when heated, turns into a light green color.
  • FIG. 5 shows a further embodiment of a print pixel 4, which was generated in offset printing.
  • This is a Guilloche pattern with tangled lines, which in a certain area is designed in thermochromic colors that disappear when heated. Shown here is the heated state in which the thermochromic colors are not visible.
  • the partial pattern printed in the thermochromic colors F1 and the remaining partial pattern printed in the non-thermochromic colors F2 again fit together in register.
  • FIG. 6 shows an embodiment for a print pixel 5, in the stitch printing using a thermochromic color F1, the areas between entangled Guilloche lines 7 were partially designed so that they appear red when heated and appear again on cooling to match the printed with the color F2 areas.
  • the guilloche lines in intaglio printing can have line widths of less than 50 ⁇ m, preferably 25 ⁇ m.
  • thermochromic color and a non-thermochromic color may be used as a color gradient, e.g. of a guilloche pattern, merge into each other.
  • thermochromic color for the print of the pupils within a portrait shown in the print image, such that upon heating a color change, for example from blue to green, occurs. It is also conspicuous to print certain essential components of a motif, for example a fine-line object held in the hand of a person depicted in the printed image, in a thermochromic color which disappears when heated.
