Definitions

  • the invention relates to a document of value, such as a banknote or identity document, which has a flat substrate, is provided on at least one surface with an anti-counterfeiting agent and at least on the surface provided with the anti-counterfeiting agent or on one of the anti-counterfeiting surfaces a coating with matt areas and shiny or non-matt areas. A glossy appearance reveals the coating surface where it covers the anti-counterfeiting agent while displaying a dull appearance in the remaining areas.
  • the invention also relates to a method for producing such a document of value with matt and glossy surface areas.
  • the invention relates to value-document sheets and value-document endless materials with a multiplicity of individual value-documents according to the invention and to methods for their production.
  • Anti-counterfeiting means are security elements, such as security threads, window security threads, foil applications, which have a transparent or metallized embossed hologram, blind embossing, printing or printing and embossing technically produced "latent images” that reflect different information from different viewing angles, prints that contain optically variable pigments and appear at different viewing angles in varying colors, or imprints of metallic effect colors that shine metallic, for example in gold, silver or bronze tones.
  • windows holes, which be closed by a transparent or partially transparent film or alternatively transparent films, which are only partially provided with an opaque coating
  • the windows are often combined with additional security elements, for example, to be tested in transmitted light security elements.
  • haptic character of a banknote is mainly expressed by its grip and bending stiffness, and it also has a characteristic sound when deformed and wrinkled.
  • the coatings should preferably provide a matte surface appearance, since dull coatings do not adversely affect the visual appearance of a value document, as opposed to very smooth coatings, provide a better grip to the document of value when dropped, stacked and gripped, thereby preventing slippage of the stacked sheets Avoid transport processes (influenced by static and sliding friction), and also facilitate the mechanical inspection of the safety elements.
  • a security element which is surrounded by a matt coating, is easier to detect because of the much lower reflections from optical sensors or is not disturbed by highlights.
  • Value documents with paper substrate are often printed by intaglio printing. Due to the high pressure with which the substrate is pressed against the printing plate in this process, the paper surface is in the non-engraved, d. H. non-ink-bearing areas of the printing plate strongly compressed and smoothed. As a result, an undesired gloss can be produced on the paper substrate which can be reduced again by a matt coating applied thereafter.
  • WO 02/094577 proposed to provide a still unprinted or already printed security on at least one side with a protective layer which is formed by a matt lacquer or a thin plastic film with a matte surface, said protective layer in the region of a security element interrupted, ie recessed, is.
  • a Protective layer can be applied, which consists of a gloss varnish.
  • the protective layer of gloss varnish is particularly recommended for security elements that are subject to heavy soiling and / or significant abrasion without coating, for example metallic effect color imprints, blind embossing and printing "latent images”.
  • the successive varnishes with a matt varnish and a gloss varnish must be as accurate as possible, with the part surface recessed in the matt varnish being printed exactly with a gloss varnish. For technical reasons, an exact registration is hardly possible, which is why overlapping is used, with an overlap zone is desired, which is not greater than about 2 mm.
  • aqueous dispersions or radiation-curing systems are used as matt paints or gloss paints.
  • the paints are applied by flexographic printing or screen printing.
  • the flexographic printing process is a printing process that works well for large, high-speed presses and high throughputs of substrate.
  • the flexographic printing plates consist of polymers which tend to swell (caused by the ingredients of the paint), so that a constant adjustment of the contact pressure is required, resulting in high downtime.
  • the plates also wear out quickly and are comparatively expensive.
  • an offset printing process is less suitable for the UV varnishes printed because the transferable layer thickness is lower.
  • the object value documents with anti-counterfeiting agents with a frosted coating preferably a heavily frosted coating, but at least at the points where anti-counterfeiting means are non-dull, d. H. shiny, has areas to provide.
  • the object of the invention is also to provide a method for producing such value documents.
  • the disadvantages of the prior art should be avoided. In particular, it should be avoided that the coating must be composed of matt and glossy subregions, which must be printed in each case in exact registration with each other.
  • the object of the present invention is, in particular, the coating of banknotes with optically perceivable security elements and / or windows, ie recesses in the substrate.
  • the banknotes should be equipped with a heavily matted coating, which is however in the range of Security elements whose visual perceptibility should not be disturbed and / or are shiny or not dull in the area of the window.
  • the coating should be suitable for various security substrates, i. H. for paper substrates and in particular also for polymer substrates or film composite substrates. It should not affect the properties of the substrate, which is particularly important in banknotes, protect the coated security and extend its life.
  • the value document in particular a banknote, is provided with a "hybrid coating", ie. H. a double layer of two different coating systems.
  • a “poorly wettable composition” is a composition suitable for offset printing, i. H. a special offset printing ink, wherein no or preferably no visually visible colorant is contained, but only binder and the usual additives are included.
  • offset printing ink we speak of an "offset printing ink”.
  • the offset ink is applied to a layer of an electron beam curing or electromagnetic radiation curing coating system.
  • the defined intermediate drying results from the machine speed, the construction of the printing machine (distance to the next printing unit), the impact behavior of the substrate and the composition of the offset ink. Preference is given to UV-curing coating systems. The job is carried out over the entire surface, ie both in the areas in which the offset printing ink was previously applied, as well as in the areas of anti-counterfeiting.
  • UV varnish The radiation-curing composition is referred to below as "UV varnish”. UV coatings are the preferred radiation curing compositions.
  • a water-based paint can also be used instead of the offset printing ink. This should hinder the wetting by the jet-drying lacquer by adding wetting-disturbing ingredients, as they are known to a person skilled in the art. This can also be controlled by an incomplete physical drying, wherein in the case of a water-based paint, the provision of a drying unit may be useful. Drying is influenced by the volume flow of the hot air, the power of the IR radiator, the design of the dryer, the impact behavior of the substrate and the paint formulation.
  • the reason for the formation of dull and non-dull, ie shiny, areas lies in the different wettability of the substrate to which the UV varnish is applied. Generally, the better and more trouble-free the wetting, the glossier the surface of the UV varnish. According to the invention, therefore, the wetting is disturbed by the UV varnish in the areas in which a matte surface is desired.
  • the poor wettability or wetting disorders are achieved according to the invention in two ways, which are preferably used in combination: on the one hand by the choice of a suitable composition of the offset printing ink, and on the other by the choice of the appropriate application time of the UV varnish and a suitable composition of the UV varnish.
  • Offset inks inherently have the property of being difficult to wet by UV varnishes; Therefore, typically, in offset printing with in-line coating when using UV varnishes, a water-based primer is applied to the oxidatively drying inks and dried in order to achieve adequate wetting of the UV varnish. In the present case, however, no good wetting is desired.
  • Offset inks contain colorants in the form of organic or inorganic pigments or dyes (preferably not included in the present invention), binders and additives such as driers, mineral oil, wax dispersions and other additives known to those skilled in the art.
  • the binders typically consist of phenol-modified rosin resins, hydrocarbon resins, linseed oil standing oils, mineral oils and linseed oil. The drying takes place physically (by evaporation of the mineral oils, by knocking low-molecular oils or binders into the substrate or the ink-accepting layer of the substrate) and / or oxidatively.
  • the exact composition of the offset ink takes place.
  • the interfacial tension of the substrate to be printed must be greater than that of the paint or the lacquer in order to allow a good trouble-free wetting.
  • non-polar films such as polyethylene or polypropylene
  • the adaptation takes place, for example, by corona, plasma or gas flame treatment of the substrate surface or by means of primer application on the substrate surface.
  • the oil pressure varnish thus consists of hard resins (eg phenolic resin-modified hydrocarbon resins), alkyd resins (eg Linseölalkydharze), mineral oils (boiling range 200 ° C to 360 ° C), vegetable oils (linseed oil, wood oil, etc.), siccatives (cobalt / Manganese octoates) and adjuvants, such as waxes (eg, micronized PE and / or PTFE waxes), to improve abrasion resistance.
  • hard resins eg phenolic resin-modified hydrocarbon resins
  • alkyd resins eg Linseölalkydharze
  • mineral oils oil range 200 ° C to 360 ° C
  • vegetable oils linseed oil, wood oil, etc.
  • siccatives cobalt / Manganese octoates
  • adjuvants such as waxes (eg, micronized PE and / or PTFE waxes)
  • the lacquer used shows the lowest possible yellowing with high chemical and physical resistances, as they are usually required by banknotes.
  • pigment blue pigment e.g., Blue 15: 3, phthalocyanine pigment
  • the pigment concentration is then 0.05% to 0.2%
  • the poor wettability of the offset inks can be promoted by suitable variations of the composition of the offset inks.
  • the surface tension of the oil pressure varnish can be further reduced, for example, by adding 0.5% to 4% of silicone oil in order to enhance the repellent effect of the subsequent gloss varnish.
  • the compatibility of the binder is the dissolving power of the resin by the solvent used, e.g. Mineral oil, understood.
  • Another way of delaying the physical drying is by a higher proportion of vegetable oils, such as linseed oil, soybean oil or wood oil, which dry only oxidatively, and / or a use of higher boiling mineral oils (eg mineral oils with a boiling range of 210 ° C to 280 ° C by mineral oils with a boiling range of 280 ° C to 360 ° C or replaced by mineral oils with a higher aromatic content).
  • vegetable oils such as linseed oil, soybean oil or wood oil
  • mineral oils eg mineral oils with a boiling range of 210 ° C to 280 ° C by mineral oils with a boiling range of 280 ° C to 360 ° C or replaced by mineral oils with a higher aromatic content.
  • Suitable offset printing inks are available, for example, from Epple (article Nos. 1290-03 or 1523).
  • water-based paints or dispersion paints can also be used. Such coatings also lead to a wetting disorder of the UV coating at an insufficient drying.
  • the physical drying of the water-based paint can for example be controlled or extended by the parameters of the drying unit (volume flow for hot air, IR emitter power) and / or by substitution of water by glycol.
  • the lacquer can additionally be provided with hydrophobic groups or hydrophobic particles (for example wax particles - paraffin or carnauba wax - or micronized PE, PTFE, etc.), which accumulate distributed on the surface and thus lead to a partial repulsion.
  • offset printing inks with and without visually invisible colorants such as, for example, luminescent substances, and water-based lacquers with and without visually invisible colorants are difficultly wettable compositions in the context of the present invention.
  • the offset printing ink or the water-based paint can also be printed as a fine grid in order to produce spots with partially good and poor wettability by the UV varnish.
  • This makes it possible, for example, (2013), (2013).
  • This can be at individual forgery-proof features, such as For example, a hologram patch, be advantageous to better conceal Pcorroschwankept the patch.
  • photoinitiators When choosing photoinitiators, it should be noted that any safety features based on fluorescent substances will not be disturbed. Therefore, photoinitiators are preferred which absorb in the short-wave (200 nm to 279 nm) and in the medium-wave (280 nm to 330 nm) UV range. In order to ensure a good or sufficient drying of the coatings, it makes sense to match the radiators of the UV dryer used to the wavelength range of the photoinitiators used.
  • Suitable UV lacquers are offered, for example, by Vegra under the item number VP 1038/050 (high-gloss UV lacquer based on a free-radically polymerizing acrylate system).
  • the UV varnish is applied directly to the not yet fully dried offset printing ink. Preference is given to using a UV varnish which contains no wetting aids, such as silicone oils or wetting agents.
  • UV varnishes are repelled by not yet dried offset printing inks, whereby the extent of the repulsion can be influenced by the degree of drying. Therefore, to achieve a defined repulsion, and thus to achieve a defined degree of matting, a defined intermediate drying of the offset printing ink is provided.
  • This requires an in-line coating, ie one Application of offset printing ink and UV varnish in one pass, preferably in a sheet-forming machine In this way, stable, reproducible results are obtained.
  • the manufacturing process is performed as follows:
  • the coating is preferably carried out not on individual value documents, but on value document sheets or on continuous value document webs, each with a plurality of individual value documents.
  • the application of the offset printing ink takes place, depending on the wetting properties of the substrate, on the untreated surface or optionally on a wetting-promoting pretreated substrate surface.
  • the type of application of the offset ink is arbitrary, but since typically large amounts of large format sheets or continuous materials are to be printed, preferred are those which are suitable for high-speed, large printing presses. For this purpose, high pressure, indirect high pressure, flexo printing and offset printing are suitable.
  • the application in the offset printing method is preferred because the offset printing due to the rigid printing plate is more precise than the flexographic printing and thus a better registration accuracy can be achieved. In addition, there is little risk of producing pinch edges.
  • the application of the offset printing ink is carried out with register accuracy limited to the areas which should show a matt surface as a result.
  • Preferred is a plot in the offset printing unit (indirect printing method) by means of offset or Nyloprintplatte (high-pressure plate).
  • the inking of the offset printing ink is preferably in a range of 0.5 g / m 2 to 3 g / m 2 , more preferably in a range of 0.8 g / m 2 to 1.2 g / m 2 .
  • drying is carried out exclusively by the displacement of low molecular weight oils or binders in the substrate or in the ink receiving layer of the substrate, oxidatively, or by the evaporation of solvents. Active drying by hot air or IR radiation is usually not required.
  • the UV varnish is applied inline to the intermediate dried offset printing ink.
  • the optimum application time is determined in each case by preliminary preliminary experiments, depending on the compositions of the offset printing ink and the UV varnish, the layer thickness of the offset printing ink and the degree of desired mattness.
  • the type of application of the UV varnish is basically arbitrary, but offset printing and flexographic printing are preferred. Particularly preferred is the fast flexographic printing process.
  • the disadvantages associated with the flexographic printing process such as lack of precision in the case of the required passergenauem lacquer application due to the flexible printing plate, the swelling of the printing plate by UV coatings, etc. pose no problem here, since the coating is applied over the entire surface and printed on a blanket on the substrate can.
  • the squeezing edges that occur in flexographic printing are also no problem with full-surface application.
  • the application of the UV high-gloss lacquer therefore preferably takes place by means of a flexographic printing unit, more preferably via an anilox roller in the chambered doctor blade system onto a photopolymer plate (flexographic printing plate, eg Gold A from Flintgroup) or a stripped or partially (in the region of the surface to be coated) underlayed blanket is printed on the substrate.
  • a photopolymer plate eg Gold A from Flintgroup
  • the paint application is in the range of 1 g / m 2 to 4 g / m 2 , preferably in the range of 1.5 g / m 2 to 3 g / m 2 , depending on the scoop volume of the anilox roller used (theoretical scoop volume of 6 g / cm 3 to 16 g / cm 3 , grid structure ART or Haschuren, etc.), the temperature-dependent rheology of the paint, the machine speed and the surface tension of the paint and the substrate to be coated.
  • the drying is carried out by means of UV radiation or with another suitable radiation, if no UV-radiation-curing lacquer was used.

  • the surfaces are significantly different in terms of their structuring.
  • banknote coated according to the invention has a surface with a coarse worm-like structure, which leads to a strong light scattering and thus to loss of gloss. The light scattering depends on the size and the relief height of the worm structure. Instead of a worm structure, a coarse dot structure can also be formed.
  • the gloss values of the uncoated banknote, the banknote coated only with UV varnish and the banknote coated according to the invention were measured in each case.

  • "Matt” is a gloss value of less than 15%.
  • the same measurements were also made on an analog coated banknote with a velin paper substrate.
  • the present invention has many advantages over the prior art.
  • the coating according to the invention is composed of two individual layers, one of which is continuous, there can be no defects in the coating. There can also be no overlapping of matt and non-matt areas, since two different layers do not have to be printed in register, one after the other, but only one of the layers has to be printed precisely in register with the counterfeit securing means. In addition, a very high registration accuracy can be achieved in this printing process, since in the offset printing process, ie with rigid printing plates, can be printed.
  • the degree of dullness or, in other words, the gloss value is controllable by the type of offset ink, the layer thickness of the offset ink and the extent of drying of the offset ink prior to application of the UV varnish.
  • Another possibility of the control consists in the omission of leveling and wetting agents in the UV varnish.
  • two or more different offset printing inks can be used, which are wetted differently well by the UV varnish, so that different gloss values of the UV varnish result due to the differently pronounced wetting disorders.
  • the different offset printing inks are preferably printed in register with each other, i. not printed on top of each other.
  • one offset printing ink can be printed in offset printing or in high-pressure, and another offset printing ink can be applied in flexographic printing.
  • the same effect, ie different gloss values of the UV varnish, can also be achieved with a single offset printing ink if a rastering of the offset printing plate is undertaken.
  • the gradations achieved by rastering the offset printing plate in the degree of dullness can be placed over the entire banknote over the whole area or in partial areas. For example, in the area of a window or other anti-counterfeiting device, as the proximity to the window / anti-counterfeiting agent increases, the gloss can gradually increase. Further, gradations in degree of dullness may represent motives such as micro stars and currency symbols, or micro-typefaces denoting, for example, the bill value or the country.
  • very finely resolved matt structures can be realized (by a Scanning of the printing plate by means of dot or line grid). In this way, very finely resolved line structures can be generated, which in turn can be used to achieve moiré effects.
  • the very finely resolved matt structures can be detected with the naked eye or by means of an aid, eg a thread counter or a magnifying glass, via the glancing angle. When the very finely resolved matt structures are applied in a window region of the banknote, they are additionally discernible when looking through the scattering.
  • UV lacquers only high-gloss UV lacquers can be used.
  • High-gloss paints without matting agent are cheaper and much easier to process than paints with matting agent. They do not tend to separate or settle the matting agents and show a constant viscosity. Furthermore, these paints can be formulated with a lower viscosity.
  • the front coating and the back coating of a document of value can be done in the same plant without changing the printing plates.
  • the plant will simply set up an offset printing unit for the offset ink with the required cutouts for the front and another offset printing unit for the offset ink with the required recesses for the back.

It is also possible to equip offset printing ink and / or UV varnish with additional features, for example a specific color. Offset ink and UV varnish can have the same hue or different hues. Further features with which offset printing ink and / or UV varnish can be provided are, for example, luminescence in different wavelength ranges by addition of suitable luminescent substances, or color plays by addition of pearlescent pigments, thin-layer pigments or liquid crystal polymers.
