Definitions

  • the present invention generally relates to the field of printing, in particular to the field of printing securities, and is concerned with a process of producing printed securities and printed securities obtainable by the process.
  • the entire process of producing stacks of numbered and bundled securities comprises many steps, which are generally conducted in different manufacturing units, such as different devices and/or machines, which may also be connected in series.
  • the printing of sheets with securities is clearly one of the early steps in the production of printed securities.
  • single sheets are continuously printed with a plurality of securities on it in specific printing machines, and piles of such sheets are created.
  • a numbering process is conducted, the goal of which is of course to produce serial numbers, but in a way that at the end of the manufacturing process, individual securities present in a bundle of securities are preferably numbered in sequence.
  • the numbering may be conducted on sheets comprising a plurality of securities or on individual securities. Further downstream the printing step, various other steps are performed, especially steps of providing a protective coating, such as a varnish, and steps of cutting sheets to obtain individual securities, and banding securities to obtain bundles. These steps are continuous, and high requirements of speed and efficiency are imposed on all steps of the overall process of producing printed securities.
  • a protective coating such as a varnish
  • the varnish that is provided following the printing step, and, generally, after the numbering step, has the overall purpose of increasing circulation lifetime of the securities, and, more particularly, of protecting printed securities against soiling, especially against moisture and dirt, and of increasing physical resistance.
  • a varnishing machine for performing full-sheet varnishing of both sides of sheets of securities may be the flexographic printing machine sold by the Applicant under the trade name NotaProtector®.
  • a quantity of applied varnish is typically of the order of 3 to 3.3 g/m 2 , which quantity corresponds to 100% of the solid content of the applied UV-cured varnish (and amounts to a varnish thickness of approximately 3 to 3.3 microns).
  • Varnishing of individual securities is possible, but it subject to the same limitations, which means that only a rather limited flow of individual securities can be varnished, e.g. 10'000 to 12'000 individuals securities per hour, which is by far too low as compared to the equivalent flow of individual securities produced in the form of sheets (i.e. 200'000 to 600'000 individual securities per hour considering a speed of 10'000 sheets per hour and between 20 to 60 individual securities per sheet).
  • the protective layer should be more evenly applied, to obtain a substantially constant thickness throughout the surface of the security. It is also an objective to provide a protective layer having the same or better properties than the usual varnishes, while retaining the possibility of subjecting the sheet to a subsequent numbering step.
  • the present invention also addresses some more specific problems, intrinsic to the identification and removal of defective securities.
  • printed securities are generally produced by printing a plurality of securities on a sheet, one processed sheet thus encompassing a plurality of securities, which will finally be separated by cutting in a downstream step.
  • quality control devices are disposed at regular intervals throughout the production process, detecting, and advantageously marking, sheets comprising low printing quality, printing errors, physical damages and the like.
  • Such defective sheets are generally removed from the continuous process of producing printed securities, analysed and, treated according to the extent and nature of the damage or defect. If the whole sheet is affected, the sheet comprising a plurality of securities is discarded. In many cases, however, there remain individual securities on the sheet that have a good printing quality.
  • such partly defective sheets are preferably cut into individual securities and the good securities are retrieved by sorting them out from the defective securities and treated individually.
  • the individual securities obtained from partly defective sheets are typically processed on single-note sorting and/or numbering machines.
  • the individual securities are generally processed, i.e. typically numbered, at a flow of about 40'000 to 60'000 individual securities per hour.
  • typical varnishing processes entail the specific disadvantages in terms of deposition speed which were highlighted hereabove.
  • Step S1 in Figure 3 denotes the various printing phases which are typically carried out during the production of securities.
  • These various printing phases include in particular an offset printing phase whereby sheets of securities are printed on one or both sides with an offset background, an intaglio printing phase whereby the sheets are printed on one or both sides with intaglio features (i.e.
  • step S1 encompasses all possible printing phases carried out during the production of securities, other than numbering and varnishing.
  • step S1 As a result of the various printing phases of step S1, successive sheets 100 are produced. While quality control checks are usually performed at various stages during the production of the securities, a final quality check is typically carried out on the full sheets after these have completely been printed.
  • This full-sheet quality inspection is schematised by step S2 in Figure 3 .
  • Three categories of sheets in terms of quality requirements are generated as a result of this full-sheet quality inspection, namely (i) good sheets (i.e. sheets carrying securities which are all regarded to be satisfactory from the point of view of the quality requirements), (ii) partly defective sheets (i.e. sheets carrying both securities which are satisfactory from the point of view of the quality requirements and securities which are unacceptable, which defective securities are typically provided with a distinct cancellation mark), and (iii) entirely defective sheets carrying no acceptable security. From this point onward, the three categories of sheets follow distinct routes. More precisely, the entirely defective sheets are destroyed at step S10, while the good sheets are processed at steps S3 to S5 and the partly defective sheets are processed at steps S20 to S
  • step S5 the good sheets are typically numbered at step S3, then optionally varnished at step S4 and finally cut and subjected to an ultimate finishing process at step S5, i.e. stacks of sheets are cut into individual bundles of securities 200, which bundles 200 are banderoled (i.e. surrounded with a securing band) and then stacked to form packs of bundles 210.
  • step S5 is usually carried out on stacks of hundred sheets each, thereby producing successive bundles 200 of hundred securities each, which bundles 200 are stacked to form, e.g., packs 210 of ten bundles each.
  • the partly defective sheets are firstly cut into individual securities at step S20 and the resulting securities are then sorted out at step S21 (based on the presence or absence of the cancellation mark previously applied at step S2 on the defective securities), the defective securities being destroyed at step S10, while the good securities are further processed at steps S22 and S23.
  • the individual securities are numbered in succession and subsequently subjected to a finishing process at step S23 which is similar to that carried out at step S5, i.e. bundles of securities 200 are formed, which bundles 200 are banderoled and then stacked to form packs of bundles 210.
  • steps S1, S2, S3 and S4 could each be carried by processing a continuous web of printed material, which continuous web is ultimately cut into sheet portions and then into individual securities.
  • FIG. 3 shows that such varnishing is typically carried out on full sheets at step S4 after full-sheet numbering at step S3. While this varnishing step is preferred, it is not as such required. Varnishing may furthermore be carried out at a different stage of the production as explained below.
  • the partly defective sheets could follow a somewhat similar route as the good sheets, i.e. be subjected to a full-sheet numbering step (thereby numbering both the good and defective securities), then to full-sheet varnishing, before being cut into individual securities, sorted out to extract and destroy the defective securities, and then subjected to an ultimate finishing process to form bundles and packs of bundles (in this case single-note numbering would not be required).
  • solution (a) is not as such satisfactory or even possible in practice due to the inherent limitations of the known varnishing processes in terms of speed of deposition, while solution (b) is not preferred as the serial numbers and other typographic features applied during the numbering step are applied on top of the varnish layer, thus giving rise to potentially problematic issues in terms of physical resistance, in particular as regards the adhesion of the typographic inks on the varnish layer.
  • European patent application No. EP 0 598 679 A1 and International application No. WO 2004/016433 A1 are of interest.
  • the numbering and finishing principle discussed in WO 2004/016433 A1 is of particular interest in this context as it provides for the numbering of sheets in a manner such that bundles of securities are produced in a consecutive and uninterrupted numbering sequence at the end of the finishing process without this requiring any complex bundle collating system.
  • Numbering machines for carrying out full-sheet numbering are for instance sold by the Applicant under the trade name SuperNumerota®, as well as under the above-mentioned Super Check Numerota® trade name.
  • the present invention provides a process of producing printed securities, the process comprising the step of providing a protective coating or layer of parylene on said securities.
  • the present invention provides printed securities obtainable by the processes of the present invention.
  • the present invention thus provides printed securities comprising a protective coating or layer of parylene. More preferably, the securities are obtainable by the process of the present invention.
  • the problems addressed are resolved by applying a protective layer of parylene to printed securities by way of a chemical vapour deposition process.
  • Securities obtained by the process disclosed herein have been subjected to various tests of durability, mechanical resistance, resistance to soiling and so forth. In these tests, generally designed for predicting circulation life time of securities, the securities obtained by the present invention performed at least as good but generally much better than traditionally varnished securities.
  • the present invention provides a method of producing printed securities, the method comprising the step of subjecting said securities to a chemical vapour deposition process, wherein, during the step of chemical vapour deposition, a set of securities placed in a deposition chamber is subjected to vibrating.
  • Securities for the purpose of present invention, comprise any documents incorporating a material value, for example banknotes, tickets in general, including lottery tickets, cheques, but also travel documents such as passports, and the like.
  • the security is a banknote.
  • the verb "comprise”, for the purpose of the present invention means “includes amongst others”. It is not intended to mean “consists only of”.
  • the process of the present invention comprises the step of providing a coating or layer of parylene on the printed securities.
  • coating and “layer” are used herein as synonyms.
  • parylene is deposited as a coating in a chemical vapour deposition (CVD) polymerisation process, which takes place at sub-atmospheric pressure, generally in a vacuum.
  • CVD chemical vapour deposition
  • the process starts from a dimeric monomer-precursor, namely di-p-xylene, which, at room temperature, is present in the form of a white powder.
  • the di-p-xylene powder is vaporized by heating to temperatures around 150°C. Thereafter, the vaporized dimer is subjected to a pyrolysis step at around 650°C, which generally takes place in a specific pyrolysis chamber, in which the dimer undergoes a chemical transformation to form reactive monomers.
  • the reactive monomers are guided to a low-pressure deposition chamber, in which they come in contact with the surface of the substrate to be coated.
  • a low-pressure deposition chamber in which they come in contact with the surface of the substrate to be coated.
  • monomers spontaneously polymerise, thus forming a poly-p-xylene coating on the entire surface of the substrate.
  • parylene dimers include parylene N, in which the benzene unit of p-xylene is unsubstituted; parylene C, in which each benzene unit is substituted with a single chlorine atom; and parylene D, in which each benzene unit is dichlorinated.
  • parylene C is particularly preferred.
  • parylene without indication of a specific type, refers to any parylene or parylene derivative, including any of the types mentioned above. It also includes compositions comprising different types of parylene.
  • the present invention provides the possibilities of providing a parylene layer on individual securities, on an entire pile of securities, on an individual sheet having a plurality of securities printed on it, or on a stack of such sheets.
  • parylene was applied using a Comelec-C-50-S ⁇ apparatus, from company Comelec SA mentioned above. Individual banknotes were placed in a static deposition chamber, and parameters were adjusted to obtain a thin, even parylene layer of a thickness of e.g. 0.4 to 0.5 microns, which was obtained after a processing time of about 4 minutes in the deposition chamber.
  • the application of a coating of parylene on printed securities is performed continuously. It comprises the steps of:
  • Figure 1 schematically shows an apparatus 1 for applying a parylene coating on successively transported piles of securities 7, wherein arrows indicate the direction of transportation.
  • the central unit of the apparatus is deposition chamber 2. This chamber is held at sub-atmospheric pressure, preferably a vacuum.
  • a vaporizer 3 is supplied with parylene powder. When heated, parylene vaporizes and is brought to pyrolysis chamber 4, where the reactive monomer is created at temperatures around 650°. By adjusting the temperature in the vaporizer, monomer partial pressure may be adjusted, eventually adjusting polymerisation rate.
  • a set of securities 7 is transported on a conveyor 10 in the form of a pile (or other suitable arrangement) by conventional transporting means towards locking chamber 5, adjacent to deposition chamber 2, and into which it is guided by suitable pushers and/or belt conveyors (not illustrated).
  • locking chamber 5 Once the pile of securities 7 is placed in locking chamber 5, the latter is locked by closing a first automated door 15, so that the first locking chamber 5 is hermetically separated from the outside and from deposition chamber 2 and a vacuum or quasi-vacuum is created in the first locking chamber 5.
  • a parylene type C (mono-Cl-substituted p-xylene) coating of e.g. 0.4 to 0.5 micrometers is formed on the surface of the securities, which is completed after a processing time of about 4 minutes.
  • a third automated door 17, provided at the output side of chamber 2 is opened giving access to a second locking chamber 6.
  • the pile of coated securities 8 is transported to locking chamber 6, after which the third automated door 17 is closed and ambient pressure is established in locking chamber 6.
  • the second locking chamber 6 is provided with a fourth automated door 18 giving access to the outside and the pile is transported by pushers out of device 1.
  • automated doors 15 and 16 are not opened at the same time, but in a consecutive manner such that a new series of securities is transported in the first locking chamber 5 which is brought to the same pressure, following closure of the first automated door 15, as that of the deposition chamber 2 before opening the second automated door 16 and bringing the securities into the deposition chamber 2.
  • automated doors 17 and 18 are not opened at the same time, but again in a consecutive manner such that a freshly coated series of securities is transported out of the deposition chamber 2 into the second locking chamber 6, the pressure of which is increased, following closure of the third automated door 17, up to ambient pressure before opening the fourth automated door 18.
  • banknotes obtained with the continuous process of Figure 1 have the same coating thickness and transparency as those obtained by the batch-wise process depicted further above. As with the batch-wise process, the continuously coated banknotes are not damaged.
  • the pile of securities may be subjected to usual checks and be further processed, for example bundled and stacked together with respective subsequent and preceding bundles as discussed hereinabove.
  • successive piles of securities may continuously and simultaneously be entering and exiting the first locking chamber 5, the deposition chamber 2 and the second locking chamber 6.
  • these steps take place at a predetermined frequency, which is adjusted so that a parylene layer of a predetermined thickness is obtained in the deposition chamber 2.
  • the processing time in the deposition chamber 2 may, of course, vary from the specific value of 4 minutes indicated depending on the desired thickness of the parylene layer to be applied on the securities.
  • the processing time is in the range of 2 to 7, more preferably 3 to 5 minutes.
  • the coating process according to the invention can simultaneously be performed on a plurality of individual securities or sheets.
  • a typical varnishing speed using the conventional techniques is of the order of 10'000 substrates per hour, i.e. approximately 170 substrates per minute.
  • a set of individual securities may be juxtaposed by being placed on top of each other, in a retainer device 20.
  • the retainer device 20 Before exposure to a chemical vapour deposition process in deposition chamber 2, the retainer device 20 is rotated so that the securities lies substantially vertically in the retainer device 20.
  • the retainer device 20 comprising the set of individual securities 26 is submitted to a vibrating unit 25, causing the individual securities to be in constant motion during the deposition step.
  • the retainer is rotated back, the coated individual securities are removed from the retaining device, and a pile of securities is again formed.
  • the pile of securities is banded and bundles 27 of securities are thus created.
  • the retainer 20 does not contain large surfaces that come in contact with the securities.
  • it is made of meshes or of few retaining structures, sufficient for retaining the securities when placed vertically therein.
  • a set of securities be it in the form of a pile or juxtaposed securities in a retainer device, preferably comprises from about 10 to about a couple thousands, preferably 50 to about 200 individual securities.
  • the step of vibrating has the purpose of providing free surfaces on the securities that are juxtaposed or piled, so that the coating of the protective layer is applied evenly over the entire surface of the securities. It may be conducted as is shown by the double-sided arrow in Figure 2 , on a set of vertically-oriented individual securities juxtaposed in a suitable retainer device, which is simply subjected to alternate movements in opposite directions.
  • the step of vibrating may be performed by exerting other cyclic movements, for example, circular, up-and down movements, or more complex, combined movements.
  • the step of providing a coating of parylene on said securities comprises the steps of providing a sheet having a plurality of securities printed on it, and subjecting said sheet to a chemical vapour deposition process.
  • each sheet is fixed at a non-printed border portion.
  • sheets may remain in the suspended situation, so that even application of a coating is warranted.
  • a sheet comprising a plurality of securities printed on it can accordingly be subjected as a whole to the parylene coating process before the step of cutting the sheets to obtain individual securities.
  • This full-sheet coating process could advantageously replace the traditional full-sheet varnishing of printed sheets discussed in reference to Figure 3 .
  • the process of the present invention preferably is a continuous process.
  • continuous process shall mean an automatic or semi-automatic process according to which a continuous or quasi continuous flow of substrates is subjected to the coating procedure, in contrast to batch-wise processing where human interactions are typically required between each processed batch.
  • the thickness of the parylene layer on the printed securities has an average thickness in the range of 0.25 - 10 micrometers.
  • the thickness is in the range of 0.3 - 5 micrometers, more preferably 0.35 - 1 and most preferably 0.4 - 0.7 micrometer. It is an important advantage of the present invention that much less material is required for obtaining a substantial protective effect and for increasing circulation lifetime than with traditional varnishes. According to the process of the present invention, the step of providing a layer of parylene can therefore advantageously replace the traditional step of providing a lacquer or varnish to printed securities.
  • parylene coating it is an advantage of the parylene coating according to the present invention that the surface of the security retains its nano- and/or microscale profile, because of the very regular and even application of the coating on the entire surface.
  • intaglio printing which is characterized by embossed patterns which are readily recognizable by touch
  • parylene coating is accordingly particularly advantageous as it does not degrade the characterizing effect of intaglio printing, whereas traditional varnishing has a tendency to smoothen the reliefs created by intaglio printing.
  • the process of the present invention comprises the step of numbering said printed securities before or after the step of providing a coating of parylene on said securities.
  • the numbering takes place before the step of providing the protective parylene coating, thus also covering the numbering itself. Since the parylene coating process is a protective, non-aggressive process, there is no inconvenience linked to the numbering prior to the application of the coating, because loss of individual securities due to damage during the coating process are rare or not observed at all.
  • the process of the present invention comprises the steps of printing sheets with a plurality of securities and cutting the sheets to provide individual printed securities, before providing a coating of parylene on said securities. Both steps are generally accomplished in different units, the step of cutting sheets comprising a plurality of securities generally being part of the finishing process.
  • the step of printing sheets with a plurality of securities reference may again be made to the above discussion of Figure 3 , as well as regards the steps of cutting sheets comprising a plurality of individual securities.
  • Various parameters may be tested, depending on the specific setting of an individual test, as detailed, for example, in the presentation of Timothy T. Crane "Predicting Banknote Longevity ⁇ ", held at the Currency Conference in Rome, Italy in May 2004 , which presentation is accessible on www.crane.se.
  • dry soiling test whereby dry soiling material is rubbed against the surface of the security documents
  • washing machine test whereby the security documents are subjected to a washing treatment under the action of a washing agent.
  • the banknotes having a 0.4 to 0.5 micron thick coating of parylene applied in a chemical vapour deposition process performed at least as well, but in many cases significantly better than traditionally varnished banknotes, having a traditional varnish coating of an average thickness of approximately 2 to 3 microns, corresponding to 2 to 3 g/m 2 of varnish on the banknote surface. It may therefore be pointed out that a substantially lower quantity of coating material, namely of parylene, is required within the scope of the present invention as compared to the usual varnishing processes.
