Definitions
- Multi-layer image especially multi-color image
- the invention relates to a multi-layer image, in particular multi-color image, made of a substrate consisting of paper material and a single or multi-layer structure applied to it using a transfer film, preferably hot stamping film, or a laminating film.
- the invention has for its object to produce a multi-layer image, in particular a multi-color image, on a substrate preferably made of paper material using a transfer film, preferably hot stamping film, or a laminating film.
- the multilayer image should have a high level of security against forgery.
- the invention achieves this object with a multilayer image according to claim 1.
- the multilayer image generated in the layer structure is thus composed of a laser-induced image component and the background layer, the laser-induced image component having several colors and / or the laser-induced image component and the background layer being different in color and / or in terms of the optical structure.
- the laser-induced image component is an area of the laser-sensitive layer that is changed by the action of a laser. This changed area of the laser-sensitive layer thus forms the so-called laser-induced image component. This is arranged so that it at least partially overlaps the underlying background layer, so that the background layer is only partially visible from above and / or is more or less translucent.
- an area of the background layer not covered by the laser-induced image component can be created and thus made visible.
- the background layer can be optically exposed in some areas so that it is visible from above.
- the laser-induced image component can be designed as a colorless, transparent or tinted, transparent or non-transparent marking.
- Visually particularly interesting and possibly complex images can be obtained in versions in which it is provided that, in addition to the laser-induced image component, preferably adjacent to it, in the same laser-sensitive layer, another laser-induced image component or an area of the laser-sensitive layer that is not treated with laser or a non-laser-sensitive area is arranged.
- This adjacent area can be colorless transparent or tinted transparent or non-transparent.
- the neighboring areas can have different colors.
- Each image component can be designed as a uniform homogeneous laser-induced marking, but can also consist of several different laser-induced markings arranged next to one another.
- an image component formed in the background layer is formed adjacent to, preferably adjacent to, the laser-induced image component.
- a high level of security against forgery is obtained with designs in which the laser-induced image component is arranged in register with the assigned image component, which is formed in or by the background layer.
- the laser-induced image component is arranged in register with the assigned image component, which is formed in or by the background layer.
- the laser-induced image component is colorlessly transparent or tinted transparent and an image component assigned in an underlying layer is aligned with this in the direction perpendicular to the layer plane or offset laterally.
- the layer underneath can be the background layer, which is designed, for example, as a reflection layer with a diffraction structure preferably arranged in a limited area.
- the laser-induced image component is designed, for example, as a colored marking and / or as a graphic and / or as a typeface.
- a major advantage in laser-induced image production is that the laser-induced image component can be produced with very high positional accuracy and the highest resolution, because the laser beam can be guided with extreme positional accuracy and thereby produce markings of the smallest dimensions.
- a laser-induced image component can thus, for example, also form a micro script or a guilloche or form a part or the individual sections thereof.
- the laser-sensitive material is designed as a material which can be changed by the action of the laser via laser-induced fading and / or laser-induced color change and / or laser-induced material removal. This change in the material is carried out by the laser treatment, preferably under laser conditions that are specific to the material and for the particular desired effect.
- the different colors are preferably generated by the action of the laser with different settings of the laser, preferably different laser parameters such as laser wavelength and / or laser intensity.
- the laser-sensitive material can be a colorant, preferably a mixture of different colorants. Pigments can be used as colorants. Pigments are preferably insoluble colorants, in particular they are inorganic substances.
- the laser-sensitive material can also be used as the laser-sensitive material, for example soluble organic colorants.
- at least one area of the laser-sensitive layer has a pigment mixture in its material composition, which is composed of at least three different pigment components, each using a laser is in each case bleachable for the pigment component specific laser conditions and it applies to each of the three pigment components that under the laser conditions specific for one pigment component the other pigment components are not or essentially not bleachable.
- a particularly effective and simple method of generating a full-color image is that the laser-induced image component is produced in that in a first step only one pigment component is bleached by laser irradiation of a point on the laser-sensitive layer under laser conditions specific to one of the pigment components, and that in a second step, only this further pigment component is bleached by laser irradiation of the same point on the laser-sensitive layer under laser conditions specific to a further one of the pigment components.
- Laser-induced image components in any color can preferably be obtained in that the laser-sensitive layer consists of a pigment mixture, one of the pigment components being a cyan pigment, another pigment component being a magenta pigment and another pigment component being a yellow pigment. It has proven particularly advantageous if the cyan pigment is designed as a pigment bleachable with red laser light, the magenta pigment as a pigment bleachable with green laser light and the yellow pigment as a pigment bleachable with blue laser light.
- versions are also provided in which pigments or others So-called coloring agents or systems are used which change their color when irradiated with suitable laser radiation, for example from transparency to a color or from a color 1 to a color 2.
- a particularly simple method is obtained if a layer structure is assumed in which the background layer has no material that is laser-sensitive when exposed to the laser. However, it is also possible to carry out the method with a layer structure in which the background layer also has laser-sensitive material. A particularly simple method of working results if the layer structure has only one laser-sensitive layer and only one non-laser-sensitive layer. Non-laser-sensitive background layer means that there is no change in the background layer in the laser conditions used during the process.
- the background layer arranged under the laser-sensitive layer acts as a reflective part of the laser radiation used for generating the laser-induced image component and / or for the laser radiation, in particular the non-reflected part of the laser radiation not or largely non-transparent and / or absorbent background layer is formed.
- this background layer can act as a brightener for the laser-induced image component, in particular if the image component is a color marking, ie a colored image component.
- a largely white background layer is obtained when its reflectance over the visible special area is almost constantly high.
- the Background layer can be introduced to increase the effect as a brightener or color enhancer. Due to the reflection and the non-transparency of the background layer for the non-reflected portion of the laser radiation acting during the laser treatment, it is prevented that damage or another undesired laser-induced change in the laser radiation occurs in an underlying layer. In this sense, the background layer thus acts as a protective layer for the layer below or layers below. Alternatively or in addition to the non-transparency of the background layer, this can also be absorbent for the non-reflected portion of the laser radiation mentioned.
- this reflecting and / or non-transparent and / or absorbing background layer is arranged exclusively in an area below the laser-induced image component generated in the laser-sensitive layer lying above it. This makes it possible to freely design the background layer outside this area in order to achieve special optical effects, for example by interacting with the laser-induced image component.
- Laser-sensitive material can also be arranged in this outside area of the background layer in order to produce a further laser-induced image component there.
- the background layer has a reflection structure at least in some areas and / or is designed as a reflection layer, preferably as Metal layer, especially light layer, eg white lacquer layer.
- the background layer can also have a diffraction structure in some areas, for example diffraction grating, hologram, kinegram or the like, in particular in or with a metallic layer.
- the background layer can also have printing, at least in some areas. interesting additional effects are obtained if the background layer has different areas over its extension, for example. different colors and / or different structure. In particularly simple to produce exemplary embodiments, it is provided that the background layer has a constant, uniform design over its extent.
- the laser-induced image component which is created by laser action on the laser-sensitive layer in a region in which the laser-sensitive layer is transparent in the visible spectral region, can be formed as a positive image in front of the background layer.
- the laser-induced image component can also be formed in that the laser-sensitive layer is made fully transparent or partially transparent by laser-induced bending by laser action on the laser-sensitive layer in an area in which the laser-sensitive layer is designed as a covering layer, so that the laser-induced bending previously, so that the previously laser-sensitive covering layer covered background layer is visible in this area.
- the laser-induced image component can also be designed as a watermark-like component, in which the laser-induced image component is preferably lifted off the background layer in a region in which the laser-sensitive layer is designed as a partially transparent, preferably color-tinted layer, due to the laser action on the laser-sensitive layer. Versions with a particularly high level of security against forgery are obtained if the laser-induced image component is designed as a micro script. A high level of security against counterfeiting is also generally obtained in that the laser works with a high register accuracy.
- the laser can be controlled by capturing design parameters of the background layer, preferably capturing the print or diffraction image and / or by capturing design parameters of the laser-sensitive layer or the laser-induced image component, in particular by means of image processing. The position, the direction of incidence of the laser beam, the laser wavelength, the duration of action, the number of pulses and / or the laser intensity can preferably be controlled.
- the multilayer image is produced in transfer foils or hot stamping foils or in laminating foils
- any further layers, such as protective layers, for example one or more upper protective layers remain unchanged, ie there is no damage to these layers when exposed to the laser.
- the reflection layer is preferably designed in such a way that if the laser beam is guided appropriately, the latter can pass through and act on the laser-sensitive layer which may be arranged below it.
- the laser-sensitive layer or the laser-induced marking is arranged below the diffraction and / or hologram structure and / or the reflection layer, viewed in the direction of the multilayer body or the substrate coated with the film, whereby It is particularly advantageous if the laser-induced marking is arranged directly adjacent to the structure or layer lying above it.
- a reflection layer or reflection field is understood to mean a layer or a region which has increased light reflection and / or increased refractive index. It is a layer or area that can be made of metal or a metallic compound, e.g. Aluminum, chromium, silver, zinc sulfide, titanium oxide etc., a composition of other materials is also possible, e.g. Germanium compounds, silicon compounds, etc. It can be a flat, preferably vapor-deposited layer or areas. This layer or areas can be formed contiguously or in separate areas. Designs are also possible in which the reflection property is obtained by means of appropriate particles or the like, e.g. through metallic pigments.

- this point is laser-treated in a second step, with a laser wavelength with which one of the pigment components not yet bleached at this point is bleached. If a blue color marking was created in the first step, the cyan pigment component and the magenta pigment component are unbleached at this point.

- Laser treatment can also be used to generate color markings or a full-color image in the colorant or the colorants in the laser-sensitive layer by color change.
- the laser treatment can be carried out in a corresponding manner with successive process steps.
- Pigments can be used as colorants, ie coloring substances. These are mostly insoluble and are usually inorganic substances. However, soluble, organic colorants are also usually suitable as colorants.
