They are usually provided with special security elements that are ideally not or only with great effort imitable and not falsified.
- security elements are of particular importance, which can be identified by the user without aids and recognized as genuine, but at the same time can only be produced with high technical or economic effort.
- security elements are watermarks, which can only be introduced into a document of value during papermaking, or printed images produced by intaglio printing, which are characterized by a characteristic tactility that is easily recognizable even to the layman, which can be achieved by other printing methods and in particular by copying machines Scanner is not reproducible.
- the line or intaglio printing technique has for the printing of security papers and documents of value a great importance.
- the intaglio printing is characterized by the fact that recesses, in particular linear recesses, are engraved in the printing plates in order to produce a desired printed image.
- These Recesses are created by means of a suitable engraving tool or by etching.
- the engraving lines are up to about 180 ⁇ m deep and up to several 100 ⁇ m wide.
- very high forces act between the forme cylinder and the impression cylinder.
- the impression cylinders are usually covered with special thin rubber blankets.
- the intaglio technique allows for a very thick paint application compared to other common printing techniques.
- the paper can be pressed by the high pressure forces in the color-free areas in the engraving of the printing plate and thereby provided with an embossed relief structure.
- the thick ink layer produced in the intaglio printing process, together with the partial deformation of the paper surface, can also be easily felt manually by the layman and can thus easily be detected by virtue of its tactility as an authenticity feature.
- the tactility is not imitated with a copier, so that the intaglio printing technology provides high-quality protection against counterfeiting.
- the tactility of the motivic elements is limited to the front of the disk, as in the production usually in a first printing the back of the disc is printed, and the relief elements of the back subsequently by the high back pressure in the second Stichtikgang be leveled to produce the front. All the glossy elements that were applied to the reverse side of the stitch embossing of the front side are also affected by the contact with the rough impression cylinder or the counter pressure cloth and lose their gloss.
- the invention has for its object to provide a security element of the type mentioned, which avoids the disadvantages of the prior art.
- the security element is intended to unite a front-side motif produced in intaglio printing with high-quality rear-side security features.

- the engraving depth in the intaglio printing plate is chosen to be slightly larger than the desired height of the elevation of the security element, since the height of the elevation due to the process is usually only about 90% of the engraving depth. For example, with an engraving depth of 100 microns only theoretically reaches a height of the survey of 100 microns, while in practice only about 90 microns survey height can be achieved.
- the at least one depression can be designed for receiving the entire security feature of the rear side or even for receiving only partial regions of the security feature of the rear side. In the latter case, the at least one depression is advantageously designed or arranged such that the arrangement of the recorded and unrecorded subareas of the security feature forms a pattern, character or coding.
- the security element can consist of any substrate suitable for intaglio printing. Particularly preferred are paper and paper-like substrates. No conditions are attached to the nature of the paper, so that conventional papers from fibers of annual plants, in particular cotton fibers or cellulose fibers, can be used, in particular cotton vellum papers. But also papers that at least partially made of plastic fibers, preferably polyamide fibers, are conceivable.
- the proportion x polymeric material of the substrate can thus be from 0 ⁇ x ⁇ 100 wt .-% move.
- a plastic film e.g. As polyester film, particularly preferred.
- the film may also be monoaxially or biaxially stretched. The stretching of the film leads to Another is that it receives polarizing properties that can be used as another security feature.
- the tools required for exploiting these properties, such as polarization filters, are known to the person skilled in the art.
- the substrate material may be a multilayer composite having at least one layer of paper or a paper-like material.
- Such a composite is characterized by an extremely high stability, which is for the durability of the security feature of great advantage and also increases the security against counterfeiting.
- the paper layer usually has a weight of 50 g / m 2 to 100 g / m 2 , preferably 70 g / m 2 to 90 g / m 2 . Of course, depending on the application, any suitable weight can be used.
- the paper can be processed in one or several layers. For multi-ply paper, the paper layers may consist of the same or different types of paper and in turn be combined with plastic films.
- the protective recesses can contribute to the design of the front intaglio print motif and / or the design of the rear security feature and realize in conjunction with this further authenticity mark.

- the metallic luster of the security strip 72 is retained in the interior of the depressions 74V, so that the security strip 72 there also has high-gloss partial regions 76 after the intaglio printing step.
- the areas 78 of the security strip 72 outside the depressions 74V appear much duller due to the contact with the counter-pressure cylinder or counter-pressure cloth after the printing step.
- the different gloss of the areas 76 and 78 of the security strip 72 can now easily be detected and evaluated visually or by machine.
- the sequence of widths and spaces of the high gloss areas 76 may be a bar code or other coding scheme in which the denomination of the banknote or any other individualizing indication is coded.
- the indentations of the intaglio printing plate which are aligned on the rear security features may also themselves be arranged generally in the form of patterns, characters or codes. In the transfer of this arrangement in the intaglio printing step in a data carrier so produced on the opposite side corresponding authenticity mark.
- the intaglio printing on the one hand creates a tactile detectable security feature on the front side of the data carrier. At the same time protect the wells on the back of the disc sections of the security feature arranged there. If the protected and unprotected partial areas have a different appearance, then the arrangement formed by the depressions of the pressure plate can also be detected and evaluated on the back of the data carrier.
- FIG. 8 shows a detail of a banknote 80 produced according to the invention, FIG. 8 (a) showing a plan view of the front side 82, FIG. 8 (b) showing a top view of the back side 84.
- the banknote front side 82 is provided with an intaglio motif which, in addition to other motif elements, also contains a plurality of square elevations 86E, the relief structure of which can be well felt by the user with his finger.
- the elevations 86E may be arranged regularly or code by their arrangement a predetermined information.
- a security strip 88 with silver gloss was printed on the reverse side 84 of the banknote 80 in the region of the elevations 86E.
- this security strip 88 now comes in contact with the rough counter-pressure cylinder or the counter-blanket over a large area and is thus largely roughened and matted.
- the only exceptions are those portions of the security strip 88 that oppose the elevations 86E of the front side, which appear on the banknote back as a recess 86V. In these areas, the glossy surface is protected in intaglio printing and the original gloss level is maintained.
- the tactile detectable on the front side 82 arrangement of the elevations 86E can therefore be visually or automatically detected on the back 84 by the different levels of gloss of the subregions inside and outside the recesses 86V.
- FIG. 9 (a) shows a data carrier 90, on whose rear side 94 a security feature 96 having a glossy surface has been applied, for example by screen printing.
- the front face 92 of the data carrier is then provided with a gravure motif using a face plate 98, as shown in Fig. 9 (b).
- the front side plate 98 has, in addition to engraving areas, not shown, in particular a recess 100 in the region of the security feature 96 with a glossy surface.
- FIG. 9 (b) shows a data carrier 90, on whose rear side 94 a security feature 96 having a glossy surface has been applied, for example by screen printing.
- the front face 92 of the data carrier is then provided with a gravure motif using a face plate 98, as shown in Fig. 9 (b).
- the front side plate 98 has, in addition to engraving areas, not shown, in particular a recess 100 in the region of the security feature 96 with a glossy surface.
- FIG. 9 (b) shows
- FIG. 10 (a) shows a plan view of a banknote in the area of a security feature from the banknote back side.
- the security feature is composed of a tactile security feature 114 produced in intaglio printing and a glossy surface 116 arranged over the entire surface over the security feature 114 (see FIG. 10 (b)). Accordingly, in this embodiment, a tactile feature and a glossy surface are combined as a security feature.
- the glossy surface 116 which may be, for example, a silver or gold glossy surface applied by screen printing, is not only over the entire area over the tactile security feature 114 but also over its entire area in the area of the Groove 20V and applied in a certain area around the recess 20V around on the banknote.
- the glossy surface 116 according to FIG. 10 (a) furthermore has the special feature that it has a very high gloss intensity, in the area of the recess 20 V, in the region of the banknote on the other hand, a much lower gloss level is shown outside the 20V recess.
- the high-gloss gloss surface arranged in the region of the recess 20V is denoted by the reference symbol 116G, while the matted regions of the gloss surface outside the recess 20V are designated by the reference symbol 116M.
- a banknote with a security element according to the invention according to FIG. 10 (a) is characterized by an extraordinarily high security against counterfeiting, since in addition to the tactile detectable puncture mark pressure on the back of the security element or the banknote a gloss surface is present, which has a very high gloss in the area of the recess 20V and 20V outside the recess a much lower gloss level.
- the edge 119 of the recess 20V thus separates the glossy areas 116G of the glossy surface from the matted areas 116M of the glossy surface by a more or less sharp "edge.” Such a transition can not be practically reproduced by forgers with simple means.
- a glossy surface 116 was first applied, for example, a silver glossy surface by screen printing.
- the backside 18 was then embossed using a backsheet 132 (not shown) to form a tactile detectable security feature 114 over which a glossy surface 116 is disposed over the entire surface.
- the glossy surface 116 on the back side of the security element 130 covers an area larger than the extent of the recess 20V to be inserted (see Fig. 10 (d)).
- the embossing of the back 18 can in principle also be done before the application of the glossy surface.
- the variant described above is preferred, in which the glossy surface 116 is applied in simultaneous printing together with other imprints of the banknote and subsequently the tactile feature 114 is produced in the gravure printing method.
- the data carrier 130 provided with the glossy surface 116 and embossed on the reverse side is also stamped on its front side 16 using a front side plate 134.
- the Front side plate 134 contains not only in the figure, not shown engraving areas for a portrait and other motif elements in particular a recess 136 in a region corresponding to the area around the security feature of the data carrier 130 to be protected.
- the tactile security feature 114 and the glossy surface 116 arranged above it are received by the depression 136 in the second intaglio printing step.
- the glossy surface 116 is protected only in the region of the depression 136 from the leveling influence of the backpressure conditions by the impression cylinder or a counter-pressure cloth.
- the glossy surface 116 is matted by the influence of the counterpressure cylinder or backsheet so that the areas 116M are formed with a low gloss level.
- the gloss surface 116 has a very high gloss intensity (reference symbol 116G).
- the double-sided gravure embossed data carrier 130 accordingly has on its rear side 18 a tactile, easily detectable security feature 114, a gloss surface 116G of high gloss thickness arranged above it and a gloss surface 116M of low gloss thickness arranged outside the recess.
- the data carrier 130 On the front side, the data carrier 130 has an elevation 2OE, which is opposite the security feature 114, or a recess 20V and further engraved printing elements, not shown (see FIG. 10 (d)).
- the depression 136 in the face plate 134 must have an engraving depth that includes not only the tactile detectable mark 114 but also the glossy surface 116G before the backpressure conditions protects the counter-pressure cylinder or a counter-pressure cloth.
- engraving depths in the rich of z. B. 50 microns to 500 microns the above condition can be realized in practice usually.
- the depression 136 is expanded in a planar manner and has a rounded outline shape, for example in the case of FIGS. B. in the form of an elongated oval, to reduce the risk of plate tears.
- the depression 136 is formed with soft edges 138 of low slope (see FIG. 10 (b)).
- FIG. 11 (a) and 11 (b) Another security element according to the invention is shown in FIG. 11 (a) and 11 (b).
- 11 (a) shows a plan view of the back side of a value document 160, in which a security element according to the invention is arranged in its edge region.
- the security element has a security feature 124 which is designed as a flat, tactile security feature produced by intaglio printing.
- the security feature 124 is arranged along two long and two short sides of the value document 160, wherein the security feature along the two long sides is denoted by the reference numerals 124a and 124b and along the two short sides by the reference numerals 124c and 124d.
- the individual elements 124a, 124b, 124c and 124d of the security feature form, except for an interruption in the region of a corner 161 of the document of value 160, a frame circulating along the banknotes.
- further tactile detectable security features in the form of geometric structures 124e and 124f are arranged beyond.
- the value document has a tactile security feature 124g in the area of the corner 161.
- the value document 160 could of course also have glossy surfaces or similar security features to be protected on its rear side.
- the security elements 124a to 124g to be protected are protected by the recess 20V according to the invention.
- the edge of the recess 20V is provided on the back of the banknote according to FIG. 11 (a) with the reference numeral 119a, insofar as it concerns the recess protecting the planar security elements 124a to 124f.
- the tactile feature 124g is protected by a recess 20V whose edge is provided on the back of the document of value 160 by the reference numeral 119b.
- FIG. 11 (b) A cross section through the value document 160 in the area of the security feature 124b is shown in FIG. 11 (b). It can be seen from the cross-sectional illustration that the security feature 124b was protected from the leveling influence of the backpressure conditions by the counterpressure cylinder or the backsheet during the second intaglio printing step, so that the tactility of the feature 124b on the backside 18 of the value document 160 is fully protected Scope has been preserved.
- the second printing step while among other things the front elevation 2OE is formed, the security element according to the invention has been completed. Accordingly, the tactile security feature 124 is formed on the back side 18 of the banknote, and the elevation 2OE, which can also be detected tactually, is formed on the front side 16 of the banknote.
- FIG. H (b) The illustrated cross-section (FIG. H (b)) is specifically the intaglio printing element 124b arranged on the rear side 18 and the embossed elevation 20E arranged opposite one another.
- the recess protecting the security feature 124 in the substrate 140 extends substantially to the edge 163 of the banknote 160.
- the banknote points to a small interruption in the area of the corner 161 thus a consisting of the security feature 124 and the recess 20V surrounding frame.
- This planar design of the depression 20V or elevation 2OE gives the value document according to FIG.
- the areal extent of the security element along at least one edge of the value document proves to be aesthetically extremely appealing.
- tactile detectable structures can also be introduced on the front side 16 of the elevation 2OE by the second intaglio printing step.
- tactile detectable structures can also be introduced on the front side 16 of the elevation 2OE by the second intaglio printing step.
- a tactile detectable element in the elevation 2OE, as indicated for example in the area 106 in FIG. 9 (c).
- FIG. 12 shows a detail of a multi-use banknote sheet 180 with four adjacent individual bank notes 170, 171, 172 and 173, which are not yet separated.
- a multi-value banknote sheet 180 will of course have significantly more individual banknotes.
- the individual banknotes 170 to 173 directly adjoin one another at the corner 161.
- the individual banknotes 171 and 172 in the multi-benefit banknote sheet 180 immediately adjoin the edge 162.
- the plan view of the detail from the multi-use banknote form 180 according to FIG. 12 also shows the security features 134 and 135 to be protected on the banknotes. After the formation of the front elevation 2OE, the security features 134 and 135 are protected in the recess 20V.
- the edge of these depressions is designated in FIG. 12 by the reference numerals 149 and 139, respectively.
- the front elevation 2OE introduced in the second intaglio printing step may, as shown in FIG. 12, extend to more than one single banknote of the multi-use banknote form 180.
- the recess 20V the edge of which is designated by the reference numeral 149, extends beyond the edge 164 of the adjacent individual bank notes 170 and 171.
- the front or rear side printing plate provided for forming these security elements must be formed.
- the back side intaglio printing plate provided for the formation of the tactile security features 134, 135 has corresponding engravings in the edge or corner area of the individual-use areas of the back side intaglio printing plate corresponding to the individual banknotes.
- the front side intaglio printing plate will have corresponding engravings for the formation of the flat elevations of the banknotes in the edge or corner area of the single-use areas of the front-side intaglio printing plate corresponding to the individual banknotes.
- a banknote that has been embossed with such a back side or front side engraved printing plate and has a so-called "edge-dropping" intaglio printing is characterized by a particularly large security against counterfeiting and an aesthetically pleasing design.
