Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a control element for printed object, in particular for securities or equivalent, comprising a first drawing printed on a first face of said object comprising at least a first frame.
  • control elements are known in the state of the art and mainly used to prevent the counterfeiting of securities, in particular the copying of banknotes.
  • control elements commonly called security elements
  • security elements in the papers.
  • a first technique is that called the latent color image.
  • the idea according to this technique is to print a particular image on the paper-value so that this image is invisible to the naked eye. To do this, we can play on color assemblies and contrasts. When the value paper carrying this latent color image is photocopied or scanned, the latent color image becomes visible to the naked eye so that it is very easy to detect a counterfeit.
  • the publication EP 0 882 599 the contents of which are incorporated by reference in the present application, describes this principle of the latent color image.
  • a fiduciary document having a printed graphic and two superimposed security signs, each being in the form of a watermarked network, the first of which is in the form of a periodic network and the second results from a division of the printed graphics into parallel strips arranged and encoded according to a binary coding, symmetrically with respect to an axis of symmetry of the document, the wave of the watermarked network extending in a common direction not -perpendicular to the direction of the cutting bands of the printed graphics and the superposition of these two signs having the effect of affecting the individual reading of said signs.
  • the object of the present invention is to improve the known control elements so as to make counterfeiting more difficult.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a control element which is relatively simple to produce and by means of which the control of the printed object is easy to perform.
  • control element according to the invention is defined by the features set forth in independent claim 1.
  • the dependent claims 8 and 9 respectively define a value paper and a sheet comprising at least one control element according to the invention.
  • a drawing according to the invention is particularly useful in the field of two-sided printing, when the register between the front and back printing is very important.
  • An important advantage of the element according to the present invention is that it can be used either to prevent counterfeiting, or to control the quality of printing, during the printing of the printed object in particular the register double-sided impressions.
  • FIG. 11 schematically shows a sheet comprising printed objects, for example banknotes, each bank note comprising a control drawing according to the invention and the sheet itself also comprising a control drawing according to the invention.
  • FIG. 1A an initial background 1 is shown and this background comprises a set of parallel lines 2 and is printed on both sides of the printed object in register, that is to say that the lines 2 are exactly opposite each other. others.
  • this background comprises a set of parallel lines 2 and is printed on both sides of the printed object in register, that is to say that the lines 2 are exactly opposite each other. others.
  • at least one of the sides of the printed object is modified to print the shape of lines 2 by moving sectors of said lines. This modification is represented in FIG. 1B, in which the lines that are not modified remain referenced with the number 2, and the modified lines are referenced 3 to 11 in succession.
  • the line referenced by the number 3 comprises several successive sectors referenced 3a to 3g which are shifted in the manner shown in Figure 1B.
  • lines 4 to 11 also include successive sectors suitably offset.
  • this background can be printed on the front or back side of the printed object.
  • FIG. 1C there is shown a bottom 1 which is identical to the initial bottom of FIG. 1A. This bottom 1 is intended to be printed on the other side of the printed object relative to the modified bottom of Figure 1B, but in perfect register with said modified bottom. The result of this perfect register is that the lines or parts of straight lines are confused when one looks at the object printed in transparency, while the successive sectors shifted 3a to 3g and those of lines 4 to 11 become visible in transparency between said lines which merge.
  • this mode is not limited to an upward shift as indicated above, but it can also be used a downward shift, or, if the bottom lines are rotated 90 °, to the right or again to the left for the front or back.
  • the lines of the front recto have been modified as well as those of the back end.
  • the line 21 comprises the successive sectors 21a to 21g and the other lines 22 to 29 each also include staggered sectors as shown in this Figure 2B.
  • the lines of the bottom of the other side of the printed object have also been modified, as shown in FIG. 2C, which would be the back side if FIG. 2B is the front side.
  • the modification of the line sectors is reversed between the front side and the back side.
  • FIG. 2B represents the front side
  • the line sectors for example 21 a to 21 g
  • FIG. 2C which would be the backside according to the hypothesis.
  • the line sectors are shifted downwards in FIG. 2C.
  • FIG. 2D The result in transparency of the superposition of FIGS. 2B and 2C is shown diagrammatically in FIG. 2D: again, if the register is correct, a predetermined sign is formed which depends on the offsets made to the lines, in this example the letter "K", by superimposing lines and sectors of offset lines.
  • the superposition of the lines referenced 2 in FIGS. 2B and 2C gives the lines 2 of the FIG. 2D, and, for example, the superimposition of line 21 with sectors 21a to 21g of FIG. 2B with line 30 and sectors 30a to 30g of FIG. 2C results in line 39 and widened sectors 39a. and 39b of FIG. 2D, when the register is correct.
  • the superposition of the lines 22 to 29 of FIG. 2B with the lines 31 to 38 of FIG. 2C results, in transparency, in the lines 40 to 47 of FIG. 2D, when the register is correct with the enlarged sectors shown in Figure.
  • the offsets can be smaller than when a single background is modified since the two-sided offsets add up: it is sufficient to compare Figures 1B and 2B to perceive this fact. It follows that if the offsets on each bottom are smaller, they are all the more difficult to perceive with the naked eye, or reproduce by photocopy or by means of a scanner considering a single front or back bottom , but the effect in transparency is not diminished since the offsets add up in transparency and remain just as visible.
  • this variant is not limited to a shift downwards or upwards as indicated above, but it is also possible to use a shift to the right or to the left for the front and / or back if the bottom lines are rotated 90 ° with respect to FIGS. 2A to 2D.
  • FIGS. 3A to 3D A second variant of the first embodiment is described with reference to FIGS. 3A to 3D.
  • This variant is similar to that shown in FIGS. 2A to 2D with respect to the line sectors that are shifted (see FIGS. 3B and 3C).
  • the main difference is in double-sided superimposed printing.
  • it was sought to exactly superimpose the lines of the front and bottom backs to bring out the offset line sectors (21a to 21g or 30a to 30g) between said lines.
  • FIGS. 3A to 3D on the other hand, in the case of double-sided printing, it will be sought to print lines not on each other but by shifting them relative to each other alternately so that each line the front is between two lines on the back side.
  • an offset is in order to create empty spaces corresponding to the offset of the line sectors, so that the control element is formed by the absence of printing rather than the presence of offset sectors.
  • the back side will comprise line 57 which will be placed between said lines 2 and 48 of the front, and so on for successive lines 49 to 2 of Figure 3B between which successively will be printed on the other side the lines 58 to 66 of Figure 3C.
  • the result in transparency is then represented in FIG.
  • FIGS. 4A to 4D represent a more general view of the control drawing according to the invention by way of example and makes it possible to better judge the visual effect created by a drawing according to the invention.
  • the embodiment shown in FIGS. 2A to 2D has been used in which the front and back sides comprise offset line sectors.
  • the initial bottom 1 of FIG. 4A comprises a set of lines 2 parallel to one another.
  • the first four lines (referenced 2) from the top are not modified, and then starting from the fifth line, sectors of the successive lines (references 21 ', 22', etc.) are started off as shown. in Figure 2B.
  • FIG. 4B the first four lines (referenced 2) from the top are not modified, and then starting from the fifth line, sectors of the successive lines (references 21 ', 22', etc.) are started off as shown. in Figure 2B.
  • FIG. 1 the first four lines (referenced 2) from the top are not modified, and then starting from the fifth line, sectors of the successive lines (references 21
  • FIG. 4C the first four lines 2 are not modified, whereas starting from the fifth line (referenced 31 ') there are sectors shifted in a manner comparable to that represented in FIG. 2C.
  • the lines of FIGS. 4B and 4C are thus printed in register on the front side and the back side respectively of the object and if the recto-verso register is correct, FIG. 4D is thus obtained in transparency, which corresponds to FIG. 2D .
  • FIGS. 5A to 5D A second embodiment of the invention is now described with reference to FIGS. 5A to 5D.
  • the bottom 67 consists of concentric circles as shown in FIG. 5A.
  • these offsets will form a predetermined image that will become visible in transparency, as shown schematically in Figure 5D.
  • the sign is the letter "K".
  • FIGS. 6A to 6D show a third embodiment in which the bottom 70 is formed by wavy lines.
  • line sectors are shifted appropriately to form a predetermined sign or image. It is possible to shift line sectors either on one of the two sides of the print (as in the embodiment of FIGS. 1B and 1C), or on both sides (as in the embodiment of FIGS. 2C) to create the desired image in transparency.
  • the front side background (FIG. 6B) has been modified in the area 71 and back (FIG. 6C) in the area 72 and the transparent superposition, when the register is correct, has the result Figure 6D, in which the letter "K" appears in transparency.
  • Figures 7A-7D show a fourth embodiment in which is combined with clearly visible changes of the bottom lines and offsets according to the principle of the invention.
  • this mode for example, we start from an initial background 73 of inclined parallel lines as shown in Figure 7A.
  • One of the advantages of this embodiment is that as images, numbers or letters are formed in a clearly visible manner on the background, whether on the front back 74, the bottom back 76 or the two at a time, the alterations of the lines intended to form the security design are even more difficult to perceive if we consider one of the funds 74 or 76 alone and not transparently. On the other hand, in transparency, the effect according to the invention is conserved and the control is quite possible, as shown in FIG. 7D.
  • FIGS. 8A to 8D Another embodiment using the principle of the invention is shown in FIGS. 8A to 8D.
  • this mode not use lines to form the bottom but it is composed of a frame (bottom 77 of Figure 8A).
  • the frame is deformed in a predetermined manner to form a given sign.
  • the front-side frame 78 (FIG. 8B) is deformed in the zones 79 and 80 and the back-side frame 81 (FIG. 8C) in the zones 82 and 83.
  • the sign which has been formed according to this principle is shown diagrammatically in FIG. 8D by the letters "OK".
  • FIGS. 9A to 9E Another embodiment of the invention is described with reference to FIGS. 9A to 9E.
  • the drawing according to the invention is used to adjust the printing cylinders during the commissioning of a two-sided printing machine.
  • the principle of the invention allowed to control a double-sided register on a printed object, we could use this principle both to detect counterfeits made by means of photocopied objects or scanned and to adjust the double-sided register of a printing machine by creating a particular sign for this purpose.
  • the control sign described comprises two arrows of opposite direction.
  • the initial background of the front side 85 is composed of successive parallel lines 86 as shown in FIG. 9A.
  • the initial backside 87 is composed of parallel successive lines 88 as shown in FIG. 9B.
  • Each line 88 further comprises segments 88a to 88f which are shifted as shown in FIG. 9B.
  • the important thing for lines 88 of FIG. 9B is that their height (for example the length of segments 88b and 88d) is equal to the width of lines 86 of FIG. 9A. This is shown in FIGS. 9A and 9B as part 89 surrounded by dashed lines. This equal height is important and allows to use the principle of the invention to adjust the register recto-verso printing.
  • control pattern thus makes it very easy to control the recto-verso print register, the fineness of the adjustment being related to the thickness of the lines 86 and offsets 88a to 88g.
  • this control means can be used both for the adjustment of the longitudinal offset and for the lateral adjustment. It suffices to combine a drawing according to Figures 9A and 9B with an identical drawing but in which the lines are oriented perpendicular to those of Figures 9A and 9B.
  • FIG. 10 shows yet another embodiment of a drawing according to the invention.
  • each line is cut into segments of S 1 to S n .
  • a segment S n is characterized by its line width l n and by the distances d n1 and d n2 that there is between this segment and the corresponding segment of the preceding line and the following line.
  • the length of the segments may vary along the lines, and in particular shorter segments are advantageous in areas of high change and give better masking.
  • FIG 11 schematically illustrates how drawings using the principle of the invention can be combined on one and the same sheet bearing prints, e.g. paper-value impressions.
  • This sheet F has a number of prints 91 arrayed in rows and columns next to one another.
  • Each of these prints 91 comprises at least one control element 92 using the principle described with reference to FIGS. 1A to 8D.
  • the element 92 is used as a security element preventing subsequent falsification of the prints, for example by photocopying or scanning.
  • two elements are used 93 and 94 according to the embodiment of the invention described with reference to Figures 9A to 9E to adjust the two-sided printing register.
  • These control elements 93 and 94 are, for example, on the edges of the sheet F and aligned along two perpendicular axes which allows an adjustment of the recto-verso printing register in the two perpendicular directions of the manner outlined above.
  • control element according to the invention can be used not only to prevent counterfeiting but also to control the quality of printing.
  • a control element according to the invention can be used not only to prevent counterfeiting but also to control the quality of printing.
  • a control element according to the invention can be used not only to prevent counterfeiting but also to control the quality of printing.
  • Simple and known means would indeed make it possible to see if the control sign appears. For example by illuminating the notes from their back side, a camera placed on the front side can perfectly identify the presence or absence of the control sign.
  • the printing medium can be varied: it is possible to use paper or other supports such as, for example, plastic supports, made of polymer, polyester or the like.
  • a preliminary preparation of the printing medium in the printing zone comprising the control element according to the invention for example by a varnish or a watermark effect.
