Description

Drucktuch blanket
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Drucktuch für den Intaglio-Tiefdruck mit zumindest einem ersten Bereich mit einer ersten Rauigkeit.The invention relates to a blanket for intaglio gravure printing with at least a first region having a first roughness.
Bei dem Intaglio-Tiefdruck, der auch als Stahlstich-Tiefdruck bekannt ist, wird mit hohen Anpressdrücken gearbeitet, wodurch ein taktil fühlbares Druckbild entsteht, das mit anderen herkömmlichen Druckverfahren nicht erreicht wird. Diese Taktilität stellt ein Sicherheitsmerkmal dar, weshalb der Intaglio-Tiefdruck üblicherweise bei dem Druck von Sicherheitsdokumenten, beispielsweise Banknoten, Anleihen, Urkunden od. dgl., eingesetzt wird. Aufgrund des hohen Anpressdruckes wird das Sicherheitsdokument bei dem Druckvorgang ausgewalzt und in seiner Größe verändert. Eine annähernd gleichförmige Größenänderung und damit eine Einhaltung von vorgebbaren Toleranzen kann durch die Verwendung von Drucktüchern mit einer rauen Oberfläche erreicht werden, wobei die Struktur des Drucktuches auf die der bedruckten Seite gegenüberliegende Seite eingeprägt wird. Ist auf dieser Seite ein Folienelement appliziert, so wird auch auf das Folienelement die Struktur des Drucktuches übertragen, wodurch in der Regel ein intensiver Verlust der Folienqualität in ihren Glanzeigenschaften erzeugt wird. Dabei tritt auch ein Verlust im Informationsgehalt auf, wodurch der Sicherheitswert des Folienelementes reduziert wird. Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, ein Drucktuch der eingangs genannten Art anzugeben, bei dem die bekannten Nachteile vermieden werden und mit dem Sicherheitsdokumente mit applizierten Folienelementen unter Schonung der Folienelemente im Intaglio-Tiefdruck bedruckt werden können.Intaglio intaglio printing, also known as steel gravure gravure printing, uses high contact pressures to produce a tactile tactile image that is not achieved with other conventional printing processes. This tactility is a security feature, which is why intaglio gravure is usually used in the printing of security documents, such as banknotes, bonds, documents or the like. Due to the high contact pressure, the security document is rolled out during the printing process and changed in size. An approximately uniform size change and thus compliance with predefinable tolerances can be achieved by the use of blankets with a rough surface, wherein the structure of the blanket is impressed on the opposite side of the printed side. If a film element is applied on this side, the structure of the printing blanket is also transferred to the film element, as a result of which an intensive loss of the film quality is generally produced in its gloss properties. In this case, a loss in the information content occurs, whereby the safety value of the film element is reduced. The object of the invention is to provide a blanket of the type mentioned, in which the known disadvantages are avoided and can be printed with the security documents with applied film elements, while sparing the film elements in intaglio gravure.
Erfindungsgemäß wird dies dadurch erreicht, dass in wenigstens einem zweiten Bereich eine gegenüber der ersten Rauigkeit vorgebbare geringere zweite Rauigkeit und/oder eine vorgebbare Vertiefung und/oder im Vergleich zum ersten Bereich ein vorgebbarer niedrigerer Elastizitätsmodul vorgesehen ist.According to the invention, this is achieved by providing a lower second roughness and / or a predefinable depression that can be predetermined in relation to the first roughness in at least one second region and / or a predeterminable lower modulus of elasticity compared to the first region.
Dadurch ergibt sich der Vorteil, dass eine nur geringe Veränderung der Oberflächenstruktur des Folienelementes auftritt, wobei die Glanzeigenschaften des Folienelementes weitgehend erhalten bleiben. Durch den zweiten Bereich kann ein geringerer partieller Druck erreicht werden, wodurch eine Beschädigung des mit dem zweiten Bereich in Kontakt kommenden Teiles des Sicherheitsdokumentes weitgehend vermieden werden kann. Weiters kann auch bei anderen Elementen mittels des zweiten Bereiches die Oberflächenstruktur im Wesentlichen erhalten werden. Dies hat sich insbesondere bei optisch variablen Elementen, wobei außer einer Effektfolie beispielsweise auch eine Effektfarbe vorgesehen sein kann, als günstig gezeigt. Das optisch variable Element kann auf der zu bedruckenden Seite oder der dieser gegenüberliegenden Seite angeordnet sein. Insbesondere können auch beide Seiten des Sicherheitsdokumentes einen Intaglio-Tiefdruck aufweisen.This results in the advantage that only a small change in the surface structure of the film element occurs, wherein the gloss properties of the film element are largely retained. By the second region, a lower partial pressure can be achieved, whereby damage to the coming into contact with the second portion part of the security document can be largely avoided. Furthermore, even with other elements, the surface structure can essentially be obtained by means of the second region. This is especially true for optically variable elements, wherein, in addition to an effect foil, for example, an effect color can be provided, as shown favorably. The optically variable element can be arranged on the side to be printed or on the side opposite thereto. In particular, both sides of the security document may also have intaglio intaglio printing.
In Weiterbildung kann vorgesehen sein, dass der zweite Bereich im Druckbereich angeordnet ist und als Aufnahme für wenigstens einen zweiten Abschnitt eines optisch variablen Elementes, insbesondere einer Effektfolie oder einer Effektfarbe, eines Sicherheitsdokumentes ausgebildet ist, wobei ein Zusammenwirken der Aufnahme mit dem optisch variablen Element während des Druckvorganges vorgesehen ist. Dadurch kann sichergestellt werden, dass die Qualität des optisch variablen Elementes während des Druckvorganges im Wesentlichen nicht beeinträchtigt wird, wobei das optisch variable Element vor dem Druckschritt mit dem Drucktuch aufgebracht werden kann. Dabei kann auch das Bedrucken eines Teiles des optisch variablen Elementes vorgesehen sein. Gemäß einer anderen Ausftihrungsform der Erfindung kann vorgesehen sein, dass ein im Wesentlichen stetiger Übergang zwischen dem ersten Bereich und dem zweiten Bereich ausgebildet ist, wodurch sprunghafte Veränderungen der Beanspruchung des Sicherheitselementes während des Druckvorganges, die zu einer Beschädigung des Sicherheitsdokumentes führen können, weitgehend vermieden werden.In a further development, it can be provided that the second region is arranged in the printing region and is designed as a receptacle for at least a second section of an optically variable element, in particular an effect film or an effect color, of a security document, wherein an interaction of the recording with the optically variable element during the printing process is provided. This can ensure that the quality of the optically variable element during the printing process is substantially not affected, wherein the optically variable element can be applied before the printing step with the blanket. In this case, the printing of a part of the optically variable element may be provided. According to another embodiment of the invention can be provided that a substantially continuous transition between the first region and the second region is formed, whereby sudden changes in the stress on the security element during the printing process, which can lead to damage of the security document, are largely avoided ,
Die Erfindung betrifft weiters ein Verfahren zum Bedrucken eines Sicherheitsdokumentes im Intaglio-Tiefdruckverfahren, wobei das Sicherheitsdokument wenigstens ein optisch variables Element, insbesondere eine Effektfolie oder eine Effektfarbe, aufweist, und wobei gegenüberliegend einem Druckzylinder ein Gegendruckzylinder mit einem Drucktuch mit zumindest einem ersten Bereich mit einer ersten Rauigkeit angeordnet ist. Weitere Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, ein Verfahren der oben genannten Art anzugeben, bei dem die bekannten Nachteile vermieden werden, mit dem Sicherheitsdokumente mit applizierten Folienelementen unter Schonung der Folienelemente im Intaglio-Tiefdruck bedruckt werden können.The invention further relates to a method for printing a security document in intaglio gravure printing method, wherein the security document at least one optically variable element, in particular an effect foil or an effect color having, and wherein opposite a printing cylinder, a counter-pressure cylinder with a blanket with at least a first region with a first roughness is arranged. Another object of the invention is to provide a method of the type mentioned above, in which the known disadvantages are avoided, can be printed with the security documents with applied film elements while protecting the film elements in intaglio gravure.
Erfindungsgemäß wird dies dadurch erreicht, dass das optisch variable Element während des Druckvorganges zumindest bereichsweise mit einem zweiten Bereich des Drucktuches in Kontakt gebracht wird, wobei der zweite Bereich eine gegenüber der ersten Rauigkeit vorgebbare geringere zweite Rauigkeit und/oder eine vorgebbare Vertiefung und/oder im Vergleich zum ersten Bereich einen vorgebbareren niedrigeren Elastizitätsmodul aufweist.

The optically variable element can be arranged on the side to be printed or on the side opposite thereto.
Insbesondere können auch beide Seiten des Sicherheitsdokumentes einen Intaglio-Tiefdruck aufweisen.In particular, both sides of the security document may also have intaglio intaglio printing.
In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung kann vorgesehen sein, dass nach Applizieren des optisch variablen Elementes auf dem Sicherheitsdokument die dem optisch variablen Element gegenüberliegende Seite des Sicherheitsdokumentes im Intaglio-Tiefdruckverfahren bedruckt wird, wodurch das optisch variable Element insbesondere bereits bei der Papierherstellung appliziert werden kann und gegebenenfalls zumindest teilweise in das Papier eingebettet werden kann.In a further embodiment of the invention can be provided that after applying the optically variable element on the security document, the optically variable element opposite side of the security document is printed by intaglio gravure printing, whereby the optically variable element can be applied in particular already in the papermaking and, where appropriate at least partially embedded in the paper.

Die Erfindung wird unter Bezugnahme auf die beigeschlossenen Zeichnungen, in welchenThe invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings in which
Ausführungsformen dargestellt sind, näher beschrieben. Dabei zeigt:Embodiments are shown, described in more detail. Showing:

hi Fig. 1 ist eine Ausführungsform eines erfindungsgemäßen Drucktuches 1 für den Intaglio- Tiefdruck dargestellt. Bei dem Intaglio-Tiefdruck, der auch als Stahlstich-Tiefdruck bekannt ist, wird mit hohen Anpressdrücken gearbeitet, wodurch ein taktil fühlbares Druckbild entsteht, das mit anderen herkömmlichen Druckverfahren nicht erreicht wird. Diese Taktilität stellt ein Sicherheitsmerkmal dar, weshalb der Intaglio-Tiefdruck üblicherweise bei dem Druck von Sicherheitsdokumenten 4, beispielsweise Banknoten, Anleihen, Urkunden od. dgl., eingesetzt wird. In Fig. 4 ist ein Aufbau eines Druckzylinders 3, eines Gegenzylinders 2 mit einem Drucktuch 1 und einem Sicherheitsdokument 4 schematisch gezeigt. Aufgrund des hohen Anpressdrackes wird das Sicherheitsdokument 4 bei dem Druckvorgang ausgewalzt und in seiner Größe verändert. Eine annähernd gleichförmige Größenänderung und damit eine Einhaltung von vorgebbaren Toleranzen kann durch die Verwendung von Drucktüchem 1 mit einer rauen Oberfläche erreicht werden, wobei die Struktur des Drucktuches 1 auf die der bedruckten Seite gegenüberliegende Seite des Sicherheitsdokumentes 4 eingeprägt wird. Eine Verwendung eines Drucktuches 1 mit einer glatten Oberfläche führt zu nicht tolerierbaren Registertoleranzen, weshalb in der Fachwelt ein Vorbehalt gegen die Verwendung derartiger Drucktücher 1 besteht.FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a printing blanket 1 according to the invention for intaglio gravure printing. Intaglio intaglio printing, also known as steel gravure gravure printing, uses high contact pressures to produce a tactile tactile image that is not achieved with other conventional printing processes. This tactility is a security feature, which is why the intaglio gravure usually od in the printing of security documents 4, such as banknotes, bonds, documents od. Like., is used. In Fig. 4, a structure of a printing cylinder 3, a counter-cylinder 2 with a blanket 1 and a security document 4 is shown schematically. Due to the high Anpressdrackes the security document 4 is rolled out in the printing and changed in size. An approximately uniform size change and thus compliance with predefinable tolerances can be achieved by the use of Drucktüchem 1 with a rough surface, wherein the structure of the blanket 1 is imprinted on the printed side opposite side of the security document 4. A use of a blanket 1 with a smooth surface leads to intolerable register tolerances, which is why there is a reservation in the art against the use of such blankets 1.
Das Drucktuch 1 weist zumindest einen ersten Bereich 11 mit einer ersten Rauigkeit auf, wobei diese erste Rauigkeit die Einhaltung der vorgebbaren Toleranz sicherstellt. Der erste Bereich 11 weist daher eine raue Oberfläche auf. Das in Fig. 1 dargestellte Drucktuch 1 weist einen zusammenhängenden ersten Bereich 11 auf. Bei anderen Ausführungsformen kann der erste Bereich 11 auch voneinander getrennten Teilbereichen umfassen. Weiters ist wenigstens ein zweiter Bereich 12 vorgesehen, wobei der zweite Bereich 12 eine zum ersten Bereich 11 unterschiedliche Oberflächenbeschaffenheit aufweist. Durch diese unterschiedliche Oberflächenbeschaffenheit wird ein im Vergleich zum ersten Bereich 11 unterschiedlicher Abdruck des Drucktuches 1 auf dem Sicherheitsdokument 4 erreicht. Der zweite Bereich 12 kann insbesondere eine gegenüber der ersten Rauigkeit vorgebbare geringere zweite Rauigkeit und/oder eine vorgebbare Vertiefung 15 und/oder eine im Vergleich zum ersten Bereich 11 einen vorgebbaren niedrigeren Elastizitätsmodul aufweisen. Dabei unterscheidet sich der zweite Bereich 12 gegenüber dem ersten Bereich in einem die Herstellungstoleranzen übersteigenden Ausmaß, wobei insbesondere die Unterschiede der Oberflächenbeschaffenheit bewusst erzeugt und vorgebbar sind. In Fig. 2 weist der zweite Bereich 12 gegenüber dem ersten Bereich 11 eine Vertiefung 15 auf. Dabei wurde diese Ausführung aufgrund der einfachen Darstellbarkeit gewählt.The printing blanket 1 has at least a first region 11 with a first roughness, wherein this first roughness ensures compliance with the predefinable tolerance. The first region 11 therefore has a rough surface. The blanket 1 shown in FIG. 1 has a contiguous first area 11. In other embodiments, the first region 11 may also comprise separate subregions. Furthermore, at least one second area 12 is provided, the second area 12 having a surface area that is different from the first area 11. As a result of this different surface texture, a different impression of the printing blanket 1 on the security document 4 is achieved compared to the first region 11. The second region 12 can in particular have a lower second roughness which can be predetermined in comparison to the first roughness and / or a predefinable depression 15 and / or a lower modulus of elasticity which can be predetermined compared to the first region 11. In this case, the second region 12 differs from the first region in a degree exceeding the manufacturing tolerances, wherein, in particular, the differences in the surface condition can be intentionally generated and predefined. In FIG. 2, the second region 12 has a depression 15 in relation to the first region 11. This version was chosen because of the ease of representation.
Der zweite Bereich 12 kann bereits bei der Herstellung des Drucktuches 1 oder in einem nachfolgenden Arbeitsschritt durch partielles Verändern der Oberfläche ausgebildet werden. Weist der zweite Bereich 12 eine geringere Rauigkeit auf, insbesondere sofern er mit einer im Wesentlichen glatten Oberfläche ausgebildet ist, so kann der zweite Bereich 12 durch partielles Kaltvulkansieren von Drucktüchern 1 mit rauer Oberfläche hergestellt werden. Weiters kann die Oberfläche eines Drucktuches 1 durch einen Aufdruck verändert werden," wobei übliche Druckverfahren, insbesondere Siebdruck, vorgesehen sein können. Bei anderen Ausfuhrungsformen kann der Einsatz von Klebefilmen oder Laminaten zur Ausbildung des zweiten Bereiches 12 vorgesehen sein. Weiters können Kombinationen der oben beschriebenen Behandlungen eines Drucktuches 1 mit rauer Oberfläche vorgesehen sein, um die zweiten Bereiche 12 auszubilden. Für eine hohe Standzeit des Drucktuches 1 sollte die zweite Oberfläche 12 eine Temperaturbeständigkeit bis etwa 80°C, eine hohe Druckstabilität und eine hohe Dehnungsstabilität aufweisen.The second region 12 can already be formed during the production of the printing blanket 1 or in a subsequent working step by partially changing the surface. If the second region 12 has a lower roughness, in particular if it is formed with a substantially smooth surface, then the second region 12 can be produced by partial cold volcanizing of printing blankets 1 having a rough surface. Furthermore, the surface of a printing blanket 1 can be changed by an imprint, " whereby customary printing processes, in particular screen printing, can be provided. In other embodiments, the use of adhesive films or laminates may be provided to form the second region 12. Further, combinations of the above-described treatments of a rough-surfaced printing blanket 1 may be provided to form the second regions 12. For a long service life of the blanket 1, the second surface 12 should have a temperature resistance up to about 80 ° C, a high pressure stability and a high elongation stability.
Der zweite Bereich 12 kann zum Zusammenwirken mit einem optisch variablen Element 5, insbesondere einer Effektfolie oder einer Effektfarbe, des Sicherheitsdokumentes 4 während des Druckvorganges vorgesehen sein. Dabei kann das Einprägen der Oberflächenstruktur des ersten Bereiches 11 in das optisch variable Element 5 wirksam unterbunden werden, wobei durch die unterschiedliche Oberflächenbeschaffenheit des zweiten Bereiches 12 eine Veränderung des optisch variablen Elementes 5 weitgehend vermieden werden kann. Zwischen dem ersten Bereich 11 und dem zweiten Bereich 12 kann ein im Wesentlichen stetiger Übergang ausgebildet sein. Dadurch kann sichergestellt werden, dass sprunghafte Veränderungen der Beanspruchung des Sicherheitselementes während des Druckvorganges, die zu einer Beschädigung des Sicherheitsdokumentes führen können, weitgehend vermieden werden.The second region 12 can be provided for cooperation with an optically variable element 5, in particular an effect foil or an effect color, of the security document 4 during the printing process. In this case, the impressing of the surface structure of the first region 11 in the optically variable element 5 can be effectively prevented, wherein a change of the optically variable element 5 can be largely avoided by the different surface finish of the second region 12. Between the first region 11 and the second region 12, a substantially continuous transition can be formed. This can ensure that sudden changes in the stress on the security element during the printing process, which can lead to damage to the security document, are largely avoided.
Während des Druckvorganges wird das optisch variable Element 5 zumindest bereichsweise mit einem zweiten Bereich 12 des Drucktuches 1 in Kontakt gebracht. Dabei wird das optisch variable Element 5 durch den Spalt zwischen dem Druckzylinder 3 und dem Gegendruckzylinder 2 hindurchgefühlt Das optisch variable Element 5 kann auf der dem Gegendruckzylinder angrenzenden Seite oder auch an der dem Druckzylinder 3 angrenzenden Seite des Sicherheitsdokumentes 4 angeordnet sein.During the printing process, the optically variable element 5 is at least partially brought into contact with a second region 12 of the blanket 1 in contact. In this case, the optically variable element 5 is felt through the gap between the printing cylinder 3 and the counter-pressure cylinder 2. The optically variable element 5 can be arranged on the side adjacent to the counter-pressure cylinder or else on the side of the security document 4 adjacent to the printing cylinder 3.
Mit diesem Verfahren, bei dem eine unbeabsichtigte Veränderung des optisch variablen Elementes vermieden werden kann, ist es möglich, beide Seiten des Sicherheitsdokumentes 4 nach dem Applizieren des optisch variablen Elementes 5 auf das Sicherheitsdokument 4 mittels Intaglio-Tiefdruck zu bedrucken. Dabei kann insbesondere der Intaglio-Tiefdruck das optisch variable Element 5 bereichsweise überlappen, wodurch eine hohe Sicherheit des Sicherheitsdokumentes erreicht wird.With this method, in which an unintended change of the optically variable element can be avoided, it is possible to print both sides of the security document 4 after applying the optically variable element 5 to the security document 4 by intaglio gravure printing. In particular, the Intaglio intaglio may partially overlap the optically variable element 5, whereby a high level of security of the security document is achieved.
Es kann auch vorgesehen sein, dass das optisch variable Element 5 in einem vorgebbaren ersten Abschnitt 51 mit dem ersten Bereich 11 und in einem vorgebbaren zweiten Abschnitt 52 mit dem zweiten Bereich 12 in Kontakt gebracht wird. Dadurch wird das optisch variable Element 5 während des Drackvorganges im ersten Abschnitt 51 verändert, im zweiten Abschnitt jedoch im Wesentlichen unverändert belassen. Dieser Unterschied des optisch variablen Elementes 5 stellt ein weiteres Sicherheitsmerkmal dar. Der erste Abschnitt und der zweite Abschnitt können beispielsweise figurativ oder zur Ausbildung eines Codes ausgebildet sein.It can also be provided that the optically variable element 5 is brought into contact with the first region 11 in a prescribable first section 51 and with the second region 12 in a predeterminable second section 52. This will make the optically variable Element 5 changed during the Drackvorganges in the first section 51, but left substantially unchanged in the second section. This difference of the optically variable element 5 represents another security feature. The first section and the second section may be formed, for example, figuratively or to form a code.
Der zweite Bereich 12 ist dabei im Druckbereich angeordnet, wobei der Druckbereich der Bereich ist, in dem das Sicherheitsdokument 4 während des Druckvorganges bedruckt wird. Der zweite Bereich 12 kann als Aufnahme für wenigstens den zweiten Abschnitt 52 eines optisch variablen Elementes 5, insbesondere einer Effektfolie oder einer Effektfarbe, eines Sicherheitsdokumentes 4 ausgebildet ist. Insbesondere wenn bei dem Druckvorgang mehrere Sicherheitsdokumente 4 gleichzeitig gedruckt werden, kann der zweite Bereich 12 eine Mehrzahl an Aufnahmen umfassen, welche in einem Raster angeordnet sind. The second area 12 is arranged in the printing area, wherein the printing area is the area in which the security document 4 is printed during the printing process. The second region 12 can be designed as a receptacle for at least the second section 52 of an optically variable element 5, in particular an effect foil or an effect color, of a security document 4. In particular, when several security documents 4 are printed simultaneously in the printing process, the second region 12 may comprise a plurality of images, which are arranged in a grid.
