Definitions

  • the invention relates to a security element according to the preamble of independent claim 1.
  • the invention further relates to a method for producing such a security element and a data carrier with such a security element.
  • data carriers such as banknotes, securities, credit or ID cards, passports, certificates and the like, labels, packaging or other elements for product protection are provided with security elements which are printed on both sides, have translucent substrate.
  • security elements which are printed on both sides, have translucent substrate.
  • the protection against forgery of such a security element is based on the fact that, in addition to the printed images of the two sides of the carrier material, visually an image can also be perceived, which results in transmitted light as a superimposition of the front and back printed images. The visible image can not be reproduced or insufficiently reproduced by the abovementioned reproduction devices, as a result of which counterfeiting can be easily recognized.
  • Out CA 1 019 012 A1 is a value document, such as a banknote, known, which is provided in a partial area of its surface with a full-surface print pattern.
  • the data carrier is additionally provided with an embossed structure in the region of this print pattern so that flanks of the embossed structure are formed which are only visible at certain viewing angles.
  • a data carrier such as a banknote, identity card or the like, which has a security element which is at least visually testable and has an embossment in at least one subregion.
  • the embossing is executed in non-color-leading intaglio printing as halftone blind embossing. From the WO 02/20274 A1 Furthermore, it is also known to print a substrate in the so-called color-leading intaglio printing.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object to propose a security element of the type mentioned, which avoids the disadvantages of the known generic security elements, provides an increased level of protection against counterfeiting and can be checked at the same time in a simple manner on its authenticity.
  • a data carrier with such a security element and a method for producing such a security element should be specified.
  • the first dot or line printing pattern is combined congruently with an embossed structure which is produced by means of a intaglio printing method.
  • embossing structure is understood below any structure that consists of raised and recessed areas of the substrate and can be produced with the embossing tools commonly used in intaglio printing.
  • the embossing tools are deeply engraved plates using various techniques.
  • the first dot or line print pattern cooperates with the second dot or line print pattern in such a way that at least one partial area has a visually recognizable information which characterizes the authenticity of the security element.
  • a periodic dot or line printing pattern is understood to mean any pattern whose periodicity satisfies the definition given in the Paperback of Mathematics, Bronstein, Semendjajew, 25th edition. Accordingly, the dots or lines forming the dot or line printing pattern are regularly arranged, i. H. the patterns have a recurring interval with respect to the spacing of the dots or lines.
  • a near-periodic dot or line-printing pattern will be understood below to mean any pattern that is not exact but only approximately periodic.
  • a dot matrix can also appear as a line grid, depending on the size and the distances of the dots when the visual resolution is not reached.
  • a sharp demarcation between point and line grids is not required, which is why such is dispensed with.
  • the perceived impression of the first and second dot or line print pattern always refers to viewing in reflected light, that is to say in reflection, unless expressly stated to be the visual impression of the dot or line print pattern in FIG Transparency, ie in transmission.
  • the security element By combining the first dot or line printing pattern produced in intaglio printing with an embossed structure of the same screen width, the security element not only provides visual, but also haptically detectable authenticity features.
  • the security element thus represents a detectable with the eyes and the sense of touch so-called human feature that allows the authenticity check by the man or the woman on the street in a simple manner.
  • the counterfeit protection is further enhanced by the combination with the eyes perceptible and tactile authenticity features, since the embossed structures of the security element with conventional reproduction techniques such.
  • B. color copiers basically can not be played.
  • the embossing structure provided on the first side of the carrier material is to a certain extent always also present as a negative embossed structure on the second side of the carrier material, for which reason the security element can be detected haptically on both sides. As a result, the security against counterfeiting is further increased and the security element has on both sides the grip that the user perceives as typical for a document of value.
  • the information characterizing the genuineness is recognizable by the interaction of the first and second dot or line printing patterns in at least one partial area.
  • any information that indicates the authenticity of the security element to the viewer without the use of auxiliary means is understood below.
  • the easily recognizable additional information of the security element further increases security against counterfeiting since it can not be reproduced or can only be reproduced very insufficiently by reproduction techniques such as scanners or color copiers.
  • the first dot or line printing pattern is a printed layer produced in intaglio printing.
  • the carrier material is provided simultaneously with the first dot or line printing pattern and the embossing structure according to the invention, since the intaglio printing method, in addition to the production of the embossed structure allows the simultaneous application of the ink.
  • Such pressure is also referred to as color leading intaglio printing.
  • the printed layer essentially congruent with the raised regions of the embossed structure; This enables a precise combination of dot or line pattern and embossed structure.
  • the user can perceive the color relief created in color-guiding intaglio printing very well with his sense of touch and his eyes.
  • the first dot or line print pattern is a line grid with a constant screen ruling.
  • the print pattern with constant screen ruling represents a special case of a periodic print pattern, but with the proviso that it has only a defined period that does not change within the print pattern.
  • the printed pattern with a constant screen ruling can be produced relatively accurately with today's printing techniques and, moreover, fits well into an image motif or geometric pattern which may be present on the respective side of the security element.
  • the embossed structure of the security element is a line grid with a constant screen ruling.
  • Such an embossed structure can be produced precisely with the intaglio technique.
  • the embossed structure is combined with a dot or line print pattern of the same screen ruling as a line raster. If print pattern and embossed structure, as described above, are produced in a single process step and each well of the intaglio printing plate is filled with color, the combination of a printing pattern and an embossing pattern of the same screen ruling can be accomplished in a simple manner according to this process variant.
  • the embossing structure of the first side on the second side of the data carrier to form a substantially negative embossing structure which interacts with the second dot or line print pattern to form an optically variable structure such that at least parts of the second dot or line print pattern are completely visible when viewed vertically, but obscured when viewed at an angle.
  • the embossing structure of the first side always produces, to a certain extent, a negative embossed structure on the second side. If the raised and recessed areas on the second side are sufficiently high or low and combined with a suitable printing pattern, the result is always an optically variable structure on the second side.
  • This structure can also be combined with an optically variable structure on the first side of the carrier material.
  • Such a security element with an optically variable structure on both sides of the substrate proves to be exceptionally forgery-proof and gives the security element a high degree of tactility.
  • the points or lines of the subregions are offset relative to the points or lines of the remaining second dot or line printing pattern offset by a fraction of the grid width of the line grid.
  • Particularly preferred is an offset by one third of the grid width of the line grid. In this way, one obtains portions with a relatively clearly defined offset from the rest of the print pattern.
  • the second dot or line pattern has multiple portions. In this way can be seen in the transparent and the authenticity of the security element generate identifying information redundant, which is why they may still be visible even after partial destruction of the security element.
  • the point or line printing pattern prefferably has a plurality of subregions which form a second information which has subareas in the horizontal direction and subareas in the vertical direction, where m, n ⁇ 1, preferably m, n ⁇ 2.
  • the security element can be technically complex and thus inherently produce counterfeit-proof.
  • the points or lines of the subregions are offset from the points or lines of the remaining second dot or line printing pattern offset by different fractions of the grid width of the line grid. Due to the different offset of the points or lines in the different subregions, a different brightness of the subregions results when viewed through, because the points or lines of the first and second printing patterns overlap to different degrees. As a result, information characterizing the authenticity can be perceived in the different subareas with a different brightness, which is very appealing to the viewer.
  • the second dot or line printing pattern is a stitch depth, offset, screen, flexo, xerographic, inkjet, thermographic printing or a printing layer produced by a laser printer.

  • the first dot or line printing pattern is produced by intaglio printing, we obtain a security element having a combined pressure-embossing structure on both sides.
  • the layer thickness of the carrier material and the parameters of the embossments for this case must be chosen so that a mutual destruction of the embossed structure of one side is avoided by the embossing structure of the other side.

  • the periodically recurring distance 40 of the lines of the line pressure pattern 2 is reduced by the offset to the distance 41 or increased by the distance 42, which is clearly visible in the area of the line 2c.
  • the front side 12 of the banknote 10 or of the security element 3 it is possible, when viewed in the light of the interaction of the line printing patterns 1 and Figure 2 is a sequence of dark print areas and bright, non-print areas of the substrate 30.
  • the area of the front and back line grid 1 and 2 in which lines are not offset from each other, thus results in a regular light / dark contrast in review.
  • the area S0 appears as a pressure-layer-free region of the front and rear sides of the security element 3 in a light color, which results from the color of the carrier material 30 in transmitted light.
  • the offset of the line 2c causes the observer of the line grid 1, viewed from the direction A1 between the lines 1b and 1c, to perceive a larger, pressure-layer-free area S1. Because of the larger pressure-free area S1, the area between the lines 1b and 1c in the transmitted light from the direction A1 appears brighter than the area between the lines 1a and 1b.
  • the above examples apply mutatis mutandis to a consideration of the lines 2a, 2b and 2b, 2c of the line pressure pattern 2 in the transmitted light from the direction A2.
  • the offset of the line 2c shows an example of how the staggered arrangement of a plurality of lines of the line pressure pattern 2 information in transmitted light is visible, which is encoded in a plan view of the security element 3 and is not substantially visible.
  • Fig. 5 It can also be seen that the introduction of the embossed structures into the carrier material 30 on the second side produces a negative embossing structure which cooperates with the second line pressure pattern 2 such that an optically variable structure results. While a sequence of lines and pressure-free areas results in the view from the direction A2 for the observer, the lines of the line screen 2 are partially obscured or shadowed when viewed from the direction B2, for which reason the hue changes compared to the viewing from direction A2, and brightens.
  • the pressure-layer-free regions 40, 41 is masked from the direction C2 by raised regions 33 of the carrier material 30, so that the visual impression from the viewing direction C2 differs from the visual impression that the viewer perceives from the directions A2 or B2 , and darkened.
  • This optically variable tilting effect is relatively pronounced on the back 13 of the banknote 10, while it is practically barely perceptible when viewing the line printing pattern 1 on the front side 12 of the banknote 10 due to the substantially congruent arrangement of the line grid 1 and the raised areas 31 of the embossed structure , Consequently, from the viewing directions A1, B1 and C1 for the print pattern 1, substantially the same visual impression is obtained for the viewer.
  • FIG. 3 shows a cross section through a security element 3 given as an example, in which a line pressure pattern 1 and 2 is arranged on first and second side of the carrier material 30. While the line printing pattern 2 substantially corresponds to the line printing pattern 2 of the example of FIG Fig. 5 corresponds, the line printing pattern 1 differs significantly from the in Fig. 5 illustrated linear pressure pattern 1. In contrast to the color-guiding intaglio printing of the example according to Fig. 5 , the print pattern 1 of the security element became the Fig. 6 printed in offset printing and combined in a separate process step with an embossing structure in intaglio printing.
  • the illustrated negative embossing pattern of the second side of the substrate 30 can be reinforced if the printing of the line pattern 2 is supplemented by a so-called blind embossing in intaglio printing.
  • the back or front line print patterns 2 and 1 can be superimposed or underlaid by an additional translucent, optically variable layer, resulting in further color shift effects on the respective page, depending on the respective viewing direction.
  • an additional translucent, optically variable layer is not shown in the figures for reasons of clarity.
