Definitions

  • the invention relates to a paper with a printed label.
  • Copiers are able to reproduce documents of such good quality that often a difference between the original and a copy is no longer easily detectable, since the quality of both documents is often similarly good.
  • more and more documents are created completely with color laser printers, so that no difference in the printing technology to color copiers is noticeable.
  • contracts, certificates, documents or the like it should be possible to ensure that as far as possible anyone can clearly determine whether it is an original or a copy in order to prevent abuse and forgery.
  • a paper is known with a screen printing, which consists of at least two different in number of lines, the same color grid patterns each with regularly distributed grid points, one of which forms a basic grid and the other a text inserted into the basic grid on the original of the human eye not immediately readable.
  • the halftone dots of one screen pattern are essentially no longer resolved, but those of the other screen pattern with a smaller number of lines are displayed.
  • the halftone tonal range ie, the area occupied by the halftone dots with respect to the entire area, is about the same for both halftone patterns, and the two halftone patterns are different from each other Screen angle on.
  • the marking or the security feature on the original is clearly visible. It is just unreadable.
  • the imprinted halftone tone value for the security feature has about 30% area coverage and therefore appears as a clearly visible area in a medium gray hue.
  • the US 4,210,346 discloses a security paper containing a warning mark in a first screen pattern, the marker being defined by a second screen Grid pattern is surrounded. Another imprint is provided to hide the warning pattern.
  • the US 4,351,547 discloses printing a mark which becomes clearly visible after copying. This marking is printed by a pattern of dots of different sizes. It is intended to conceal the printed pattern.
  • the label can be freely designed in shape and size and adapted to the technical requirements or to customer requirements. It can have any form of writing, pattern or graphic elements or a combination thereof.
  • the mark is not visible on the original.
  • the original is copied on a copier, superimposed on the text, image, drawing or the like of Originals the marking.
  • the word "copy” can be selected as the marking, which appears automatically on the copies. This measure can easily prevent abuse and counterfeiting.
  • the labeling can be adapted to the wishes of a customer.
  • the screen angle is preferably adjusted in the contour of the marking in order to ensure an optimal result.
  • the printing of the marking feature and the surrounding area preferably takes place in the same color. There is no special color such as "anthracite gray" required.
  • black ink is used, which is usually used for text printing.
  • the halftone tone value range is below 10%. This ensures that the surrounding area (background) on the copy does not contain any copied halftone dots and thus has the color of the copy paper (usually white). If a basic grid surrounding the license plate is provided in the paper according to the invention, preferably no image is produced in the case of a copy thereof. The surrounding basic grid is preferably not reproduced, ie it does not produce a gray tone, but it disappears completely.
  • the area surrounding the license plate is also preferably printed, in particular to the outermost edge of the paper.
  • the surrounding area is printed so that the print is invisible to the human eye.
  • the security paper for the viewer acts as a blank sheet, d. H. the complete safety tag and the surrounding area remain invisible.
  • the paper according to the invention it is not necessary to overprint the marking or the marking feature with a lighter or transparent color.
  • a decorative design used for overpressure.
  • the area surrounding the license plate is preferably not printed with parallel lines.
  • fine micro-grid points are preferably used, which are not reproduced during copying.
  • the raster width of the tag and the surrounding area are not necessarily integer multiples of each other, but may be independent of each other.
  • the grid of labeling may be adapted to and adapted to the technical conditions, customer-specific or due to technical developments in future copiers, for example the type of paper. Since no colored fogging imprint is required, the entire imprint can be done with normal, dark standard ink.
  • the license plate according to the present invention is not only unreadable or unrecognizable, but it is not visible to the human eye. In the cases of the prior art, where an illegible or unrecognizable mark is provided, the marks are also clearly visible on the original to the human eye.
  • a marking is printed on both sides of the paper. It can be provided on the one hand that on different sides of the paper different markings are printed. On the other hand, it is conceivable to print the same label on both sides of the paper, so that it does not matter on which side of the paper the original text is printed. It must therefore not be taken when inserting the paper according to the invention that this is placed correctly around in a printer.
  • the marking is printed by means of grid points.
  • the imprint is advantageously carried out by means of differently sized grid points for the marking on the one hand and the area surrounding the marking on the other hand.
  • the size of the halftone dots and the distances between the halftone dots are chosen such that the marking printed by means of halftone dots is not available to the human eye or only when searching carefully, if one knows that the label must be present, or if tools such as a magnifying glass are used , is visible.
  • the halftone dots and the distance between the halftone dots for the marking are selected so that the halftone dots are resolved by a copier and when copying the paper, the corresponding label appears on the copy.
  • the ratio of halftone dots and distance is preferably 1:10 to 1:25 at a resolution of about 0.20 to 0.60 mm, more preferably 1:15 to 1: 25 at a resolution of about 0.25 to zero , 45 mm.
  • the area surrounding the marking is printed with screen dots which are smaller than the grid points of the marking.
  • so-called "microdots” can be selected as screen dots for the area surrounding the marking, which are not detected by a copier and thus are not copied. These microdots are preferably smaller by a factor of 2 to 4 or 2 to 5 than the halftone dots of the label.
  • the entire paper is printed on at least one side with halftone dots.
  • the halftone dots are preferably in a dark color, e.g. B. black or dark blue, printed.
  • the ratio of the halftone dot size to the distance between two halftone dots is the same for the tag and the area surrounding the tag, it can be ensured that the tag and the surrounding area have the same area coverage.
  • the halftone dots of the marking and the surrounding area have exactly the same optical brightness (tonal value), as this does not make the marking visible to the human eye as a result of brightness differences.
  • the paper may preferably be provided with an individual watermark.
  • the term "original” may be incorporated as a watermark in the paper. This measure makes it particularly easy to distinguish the copy from the original. In order to check whether a document is an original or a copy, no technical aids or equipment are required.
  • additional optical elements constructed so that copiers are technically capable of preventing copying for counterfeit purposes. These elements can be printed in addition to the described marking and the surrounding area.
  • the additional optical elements are a pattern which is recognized by a copier or scanner and results in that the copier does not make a copy or at least does not make a color copy or the scanned document can not be processed.
  • the single figure shows a paper 1, on which a label 2 is printed.
  • the marking 2 is formed by printed grid points 3.
  • the area surrounding the marking area 4 is likewise formed by grid points.
  • the distance between the grid points 3 is greater than the distance between the points of the area 4.
  • the figure shows that the entire paper is printed with halftone dots.
  • all halftone dots have been made visible here.
  • the grid points 3 of the marking 2 are printed so small and at such a distance that they are virtually invisible to the human eye. However, they can be resolved by a copier and thus appear on a copy of the paper 1 made in a copier.
  • the halftone dots of the area 4 are printed in such a size and at a distance that they are invisible to the human eye. However, they are printed so small that they can not be resolved by a copier and thus do not appear on the copy of the paper 1.
  • the paper 1 may additionally have an individual watermark 5.
  • the watermark 5 is also introduced into the paper 1 after papermaking. It can be designed according to the wishes of a customer.
