Definitions
- the invention is based on a Tintenmakulaturkit for marking documents.
- Tintenmakulaturkits are often used in connection with document transport containers, especially banknote cassettes for ATMs.
- containers which serve to accommodate documents such as documents, securities or banknotes, unattractive for criminals
- in addition to the armor of the containers and other countermeasures is attempted to mark the contents of the containers as soon as an unauthorized person accesses the container takes place.
- Marked documents that have been circulated must be taken out of circulation as soon as possible. This means that the marking of the documents must make them useless for further use.
- This also includes the deposit of marked banknotes at a self-service terminal, such as a cash machine or ATM. The marking of the documents must therefore be detectable both by a user with the naked eye as well as by a cash machine equally well detectable.
- Attacking colors are known which cause both a visible coloration and a machine-readable marking of the documents provided with the marking.
- the overcoat color generally exhibits some resistance to so-called washout, treatment with chemical reagents to remove, bleach, or stain the overprint color. This is intended to prevent the marking from being removed from documents that were originally made unusable and to be returned to payment transactions.
- washout, treatment with chemical reagents to remove, bleach, or stain the overprint color This is intended to prevent the marking from being removed from documents that were originally made unusable and to be returned to payment transactions.
- a problem with a number of overpainting colors is that after a leaching process they visually have a similar appearance to dirt or contaminants that may also be present on the document. This makes it possible that remnants of a mark with raid color after a washout process from the traffic be mistaken for contamination of the document, thereby losing the marking effect.
- banknotes are increasingly subjected to a so-called fitness test.
- the fitness check examines banknotes deposited at a self-service terminal for stains, dirt, cracks and holes. Contaminated and banknotes are kept by the ATM.
- the banknotes to be tested are guided over a black roller, while damage or contamination is detected by incident light measurement by means of CIS sensors. As a result, the corresponding places appear black.
- the problem is that when fitness checks of banknotes, as is performed in particular in ATMs on banknote readers, edge damage, open cracks or holes appear as black areas and are indistinguishable from a black coloration by robbery color.
- the object of the invention is therefore to provide a Tintenmakulaturkit with an overpainting available that overcomes the disadvantages of the prior art, the color of which, even if it was subjected to a washout yet clearly from Impurities and dirt is to be distinguished, which does not interfere with a fitness check of the banknotes and which has a machine readability that is not easy to wash out or easy to disguise.
- an attack color is described with a reflection of electromagnetic radiation in at least one wavelength subregion of the visible spectrum between 380 nm and 780 nm, the reflection of the electromagnetic radiation in the visible spectral range of course, the scattering the radiation on the surface of the attack color includes.
- the degree of scattering depends on the surface quality of the attack color.
- the reflection of the electromagnetic radiation of at least one wavelength or a wavelength range leads to the attack color having a different color from black.
- the attack color keeps a distinctive character even after washing with chemicals and is different from dirt and impurities.
- the attack color according to the invention has no disturbing effect on a conventional fitness check of banknotes in an ATM by Auflichtiss.
- the attack color has an absorption of electromagnetic radiation in the infrared range.
- conventional attack colors show no or only a negligible absorption. They are transparent in the infrared range.
- the infrared absorbing property of the overprinting ink of the present invention is for machine readability. If the document is a banknote, the absorption in the infrared range is of particular use, since the largest part of the banknote and especially the banknote edge in the infrared range is transparent, ie not drawing. Therefore, an attack color having infrared absorption is particularly easy to detect.
- banknote readers For the detection of the absorption in the infrared range, banknote readers mainly use optical, imaging sensors such as, for example, CMOS, SMOS and CCD sensors, which in addition to sensitivity in the visible spectral range also have a sensitivity in the near infrared range.
- optical, imaging sensors such as, for example, CMOS, SMOS and CCD sensors, which in addition to sensitivity in the visible spectral range also have a sensitivity in the near infrared range.
- a red, orange, blue, green or violet coloration of the attack color occurs in a correspondingly complementary reflection of the remaining electromagnetic radiation.
- These colors are different from a white color. Colorful robbery colors alert the consumer to a greater extent than a white dye.
- a colorful attack color is particularly advantageous if the attack color should only reach unprinted areas of bright documents.
- the penetration depth is often not sufficient to wet more than the unprinted border area.
- a colorful tint of the assault color creates a necessary contrast to bright areas of the document, making it easier to visually identify a document marked with an attack color.
- the first wavelength subarea has radiation with wavelengths between 490 nm and 575 nm and the second wavelength subarea radiation with wavelengths between 380 nm and 490 nm and / or between 575 nm and 780 nm.
- a green overpainting ink has the advantage that it still differs significantly from soiling especially after washing out.
- a green attack color has a high potential for alerting a user.
- the first wavelength subarea has radiation with wavelengths between 380 nm and 490 nm and the second wavelength subarea radiation with wavelengths between 490 nm and 780 nm.
- the proportion of the absorbed electromagnetic radiation in the infrared range is greater than the proportion in the visible spectrum.
- the absorption of the attack color in this case has a particularly high value for the machine readability infrared range to a higher value than the absorption in the visible spectral range. This is particularly desirable if the document is treated with a visible dye leaching reagent which also reduces the infrared absorbing moiety. This becomes clear when one considers that washing out of the overprint color is intended to achieve the highest possible degree of washout, but that the treatment with the chemicals entails damage to the document, which can lead to a loss of characteristics, in particular in the case of banknotes Passing an authenticity check are mandatory.
- the attack color has an absorption maximum in the infrared range.
- the size of the wavelength range may be between 2 and 50 nm, preferably between 2 and 20 nm, particularly preferably between 2 and 5 nm. But even areas that are only 1 nm, are conceivable.
- absorption maxima may be several, too different sized, distributed to the infrared range. This has the additional advantage that detection of several narrow-band absorption maxima by a single sensor, whose sensitivity range is usually limited, is very difficult.
- the attack color emits electromagnetic radiation in an excitation by electromagnetic radiation.
- electromagnetic radiation This is given for example by fluorescent properties of the attack color.
- the attack color absorbs electromagnetic radiation having a lower wavelength and emits electromagnetic radiation having a higher wavelength.
- the excitation of the attack color by electromagnetic radiation can take place with a wavelength below 380 nm.
- the emission of electromagnetic radiation takes place in the visible spectral range.
- the overpainting color has in addition to the fluorescent properties or alternatively up-converter properties.
- the excitation is carried out by long-wave electromagnetic radiation and it results in the emission of short-wave electromagnetic radiation.
- This up-converter property includes the absorption of electromagnetic radiation having a wavelength in the visible spectral range and an emission of electromagnetic radiation which also takes place in the visible.
- the overcoat color has both fluorescence and up-converter properties.
- other luminescence properties of the attack color are conceivable.
- the attack color at an excitation by electromagnetic radiation in the infrared range an absorption of higher wavelength energy with simultaneous emission of energy at a lower wavelength.
- the attack color shows up-converter properties in the infrared range. That is, the attack color absorbs in the infrared region and emits electromagnetic radiation having a lower wavelength than the absorbed radiation in the infrared region or in the visible spectral region. The emission occurs regularly at wavelengths between 380 nm to 1100 nm. It is particularly advantageous if the excitation at Wavelengths occur which lie outside the working range of CCD and CMOS sensors, that is often above 1100 nm.
- the attack color on at least one colorant through which the reflection of the electromagnetic radiation takes place in the visible spectral range may be an inorganic or an organic colorant, a pigment or a dye.
- the colorant also has an absorption in the infrared range.
- the colorant in addition to the reflection of electromagnetic radiation in the visible spectral range and the absorption in the infrared range, the colorant has an absorption in the visible spectral range and / or up-converter properties.
- the colorant may have a UV fluorescence.
- the concentration of the colorant in the overcoat color can be selected to be particularly high, which is a prerequisite for a high optical density of the overprint color.
- the attack color on at least one inorganic or organic component through which the absorption of electromagnetic radiation takes place in the infrared range.
- the component is an up-converter
- the invention relates to an ink waste kit for marking documents in the event of unauthorized access to the documents, with an attack color, with a reservoir for receiving the attack color and with a triggerable protective device for releasing the attack color from the reservoir.
- One or more ink delivery kits may be incorporated into a bill transport cassette, case, or other container.
- As a reservoir for storing the attack color can serve a cartridge. It is particularly advantageous that the attack color serves both to mark the documents in the visible spectral range, as well as in the machine-readable infrared range. This can be dispensed with the use of multiple reservoirs with several different markers, which may not be mixed together before application, may be. As soon as sensors of a protective device register an unauthorized access, a release of the attack color is effected.
- the release of the attack color can in this case take place by acting on the reservoir with pressure, the attack color leaves the reservoir through a pressure valve.
- gas is forced into the reservoir, for example, when the protective device is triggered via a CO 2 pressure vessel.
- the ink waste kit may be provided with a dispenser for distributing the overprint color on the documents.
- the distribution device may be a nozzle, a hose or a distributor arm, which is arranged for the targeted distribution of the attack color on the pressure valve of the reservoir.
- protective devices for the release of attack color by means of a detonator are also conceivable. It is therefore possible with the ink-ink kit according to the invention to mark documents in the event of unauthorized access both in the visible spectral range and to attach a machine-readable marking with an absorption in the infrared range to the documents.
- the provision of the attack color takes place in a reservoir. From this reservoir, the attack color is released when the protective device is triggered. If the attack color is released from the reservoir by the protective device with pressure via a valve, the distribution of the attack color can take place via nozzles, tubes, distributor arms and the like.
- Another object of the invention is the use of an attack color for marking documents.
- FIGS. 1 to 5 show absorption spectra of various attack colors.
- the degree of absorption is plotted against the wavelength. It should be noted here that the specified degree of absorption is a logarithmic quantity that corresponds to the English absorbance. Thus, an absorbance of 0 means a 100% reflection of the electromagnetic radiation, an absorbance of 1 10% reflection, an absorbance of 2 1% reflection, etc.
- FIG. 1 Two graphs are shown, each showing an absorption spectrum of a blue and a green attack color.
- the upper graph shows an absorption spectrum of a blue attack color.
- the attack color shows an absorption of the electromagnetic radiation in a wavelength range from 490 nm and a reflection of the electromagnetic radiation at lower wavelengths in the visible region of the spectrum.

- the lower graph in FIG. 1 shows an analogous absorption spectrum of a green attack color.
- a reflection of the electromagnetic radiation occurs between 500 and 600 nm, while the attack color has an absorption of the electromagnetic radiation in the other wavelength ranges of the visible spectrum and the infrared range.
- FIG. 2 Two graphs are shown, each showing an absorption spectrum of a blue and a green attack color.
- the upper graph shows the absorption spectrum of a blue attack color with the characteristic infrared range, the attack color shows a higher degree of absorption than in the visible spectral range, so that the absorption of the attack color at wavelengths suitable for machine readability is stronger than in the visible.
- the attack color has a characteristic of the green attack color selective absorption of electromagnetic radiation in the visible spectral range and absorption in the infrared range, the absorptivity in the machine-readable infrared wavelength range from a wavelength of about 850 nm is higher than in the visible wavelength range.

- the absorption spectrum here has an additional absorption of the attack color in the range between 300 nm and 380 nm.
- the arrowhead symbolizes the emission of the electromagnetic radiation at a higher wavelength than the excitation wavelength.
- the emissions occur at wavelengths of about 450 nm and 750 nm.
- the overprint color must be forced to be transparent in order to make the emission detectable to cameras.

Description
Die Erfindung geht aus von einem Tintenmakulaturkit zur Markierung von Dokumenten.The invention is based on a Tintenmakulaturkit for marking documents.
Derartige Tintenmakulaturkits werden häufig im Zusammenhang mit Dokumententransportbehältern, insbesondere Banknotenkassetten für Geldautomaten, eingesetzt. Um Überfälle auf Behältnisse, welche zur Aufnahme von Dokumenten wie Urkunden, Wertpapiere oder Banknoten dienen, für Kriminelle unattraktiv zu machen, wird neben der Panzerung der Behältnisse und anderer Gegenmaßnahmen versucht, den Inhalt der Behältnisse zu markieren, sobald ein Zugriff von Unbefugten auf das Behältnis stattfindet. Mit einer Markierung versehene Dokumente, die in Umlauf gekommen sind, müssen möglichst schnell wieder aus dem Verkehr gezogen werden. Das bedeutet, dass die Markierung der Dokumente diese für eine weitere Benutzung unbrauchbar machen muss. Dies schließt auch die Einzahlung markierter Banknoten an einem Selbstbedienungsterminal wie beispielsweise einem Bankautomaten oder Geldautomaten ein. Die Markierung der Dokumente muss daher sowohl von einem Benutzer mit bloßem Auge erkennbar als auch durch einen Bankautomaten gleichermaßen gut detektierbar sein.Such Tintenmakulaturkits are often used in connection with document transport containers, especially banknote cassettes for ATMs. In order to make raids on containers, which serve to accommodate documents such as documents, securities or banknotes, unattractive for criminals, in addition to the armor of the containers and other countermeasures is attempted to mark the contents of the containers as soon as an unauthorized person accesses the container takes place. Marked documents that have been circulated must be taken out of circulation as soon as possible. This means that the marking of the documents must make them useless for further use. This also includes the deposit of marked banknotes at a self-service terminal, such as a cash machine or ATM. The marking of the documents must therefore be detectable both by a user with the naked eye as well as by a cash machine equally well detectable.
Bekannt sind Überfallsfarben, die sowohl eine sichtbare Färbung als auch eine maschinenlesbare Kennzeichnung der mit der Markierung versehenen Dokumente hervorrufen. Die Überfallsfarbe zeigt in der Regel eine gewisse Resistenz gegenüber dem so genannten Auswaschen, einer Behandlung mit chemischen Reagenzien zur Beseitigung, Ausbleichung oder Ätzung der Überfallsfarbe. Dies soll verhindern, dass die Markierung von ursprünglich unbrauchbar gemachten Dokumenten entfernt wird und diese wieder dem Zahlungsverkehr zugeführt werden. Problematisch ist jedoch bei einer Reihe von Überfallsfarben, dass sie nach einem Auswaschungs-Prozess visuell ein ähnliches Erscheinungsbild wie Schmutz oder Verunreinigungen aufweisen, welche sich ebenfalls auf dem Dokument befinden können. Hierdurch ist es möglich, dass Reste einer Markierung mit Überfallfarbe nach einem Auswasch-Prozess von dem Verkehr fälschlicherweise für eine Verunreinigung des Dokuments gehalten werden und dadurch der Markierungseffekt verloren geht.Attacking colors are known which cause both a visible coloration and a machine-readable marking of the documents provided with the marking. The overcoat color generally exhibits some resistance to so-called washout, treatment with chemical reagents to remove, bleach, or stain the overprint color. This is intended to prevent the marking from being removed from documents that were originally made unusable and to be returned to payment transactions. However, a problem with a number of overpainting colors is that after a leaching process they visually have a similar appearance to dirt or contaminants that may also be present on the document. This makes it possible that remnants of a mark with raid color after a washout process from the traffic be mistaken for contamination of the document, thereby losing the marking effect.
Ferner werden Banknoten immer häufiger einer so genannten Fitnessprüfung unterzogen. Bei der Fitnessprüfung werden die an einem Selbstbedienungsterminal eingezahlten Banknoten auf Flecken, Verschmutzung, Risse und Löcher untersucht. Mit Verunreinigungen und Beschädigungen versehene Banknoten werden von dem Bankautomat einbehalten. Die zu prüfenden Banknoten werden hierbei über eine schwarze Rolle geführt, während über eine Auflichtmessung mittels CIS-Sensoren Beschädigungen oder Verschmutzungen detektiert werden. Dadurch erscheinen die entsprechenden Stellen schwarz. Problematisch ist, dass bei der Fitnessprüfung von Banknoten, wie sie insbesondere in Bankautomaten über Banknotenlesegeräte durchgeführt wird, Randbeschädigungen, offene Risse oder Löcher als schwarze Bereiche erscheinen und von einer schwarzen Einfärbung durch Überfallsfarbe nicht zu unterscheiden sind.Furthermore, banknotes are increasingly subjected to a so-called fitness test. The fitness check examines banknotes deposited at a self-service terminal for stains, dirt, cracks and holes. Contaminated and banknotes are kept by the ATM. The banknotes to be tested are guided over a black roller, while damage or contamination is detected by incident light measurement by means of CIS sensors. As a result, the corresponding places appear black. The problem is that when fitness checks of banknotes, as is performed in particular in ATMs on banknote readers, edge damage, open cracks or holes appear as black areas and are indistinguishable from a black coloration by robbery color.
Ferner sind Geldbündel, die eine fernzündbare Minipatrone mit roter Farbe, also ein Tintenmakulaturkit, umfassen, bekannt aus der
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist des daher, ein Tintenmakulaturkit mit einer Überfallsfarbe zur Verfügung zu stellen, die die Nachteile des Standes der Technik überwindet, deren Färbung selbst wenn sie einem Auswaschvorgang unterworfen wurde noch deutlich von Verunreinigungen und Schmutz zu unterscheiden ist, die nicht mit einer Fitnessprüfung der Banknoten interferiert und die eine Maschinenlesbarkeit aufweist, die sich nicht leicht auswaschen oder einfach verschleiern lässt.The object of the invention is therefore to provide a Tintenmakulaturkit with an overpainting available that overcomes the disadvantages of the prior art, the color of which, even if it was subjected to a washout yet clearly from Impurities and dirt is to be distinguished, which does not interfere with a fitness check of the banknotes and which has a machine readability that is not easy to wash out or easy to disguise.
Die Aufgabe wird gelöst durch ein Tintenmakulaturkit gemäß Anspruch 1. Weiter wird eine Überfallfarbe beschrieben mit einer Reflexion elektromagnetischer Strahlung in mindestens einem Wellenlängen-Teilbereich des sichtbaren Spektrums zwischen 380 nm und 780 nm, wobei die Reflexion der elektromagnetischen Strahlung im sichtbaren Spektralbereich selbstverständlich auch die Streuung der Strahlung an der Oberfläche der Überfallsfarbe beinhaltet. Der Grad an Streuung ist hierbei abhängig von der Oberflächenbeschaffenheit der Überfallsfarbe. Die Reflexion der elektromagnetischen Strahlung mindestens einer Wellenlänge oder eines Wellenlängenbereiches führt dazu, dass die Überfallsfarbe eine von schwarz verschiedene Färbung aufweist. Damit behält die Überfallsfarbe auch nach Auswaschen mit Chemikalien einen markierenden Charakter bei und unterscheidet sich von Schmutz und Verunreinigungen. Darüber hinaus hat die erfindungsgemäße Überfallsfarbe keinen störenden Einfluss auf eine herkömmliche Fitnessprüfung von Banknoten in einem Bankautomat mittels Auflichtkameras.The object is achieved by a Tintenmakulaturkit according to claim 1. Further, an attack color is described with a reflection of electromagnetic radiation in at least one wavelength subregion of the visible spectrum between 380 nm and 780 nm, the reflection of the electromagnetic radiation in the visible spectral range of course, the scattering the radiation on the surface of the attack color includes. The degree of scattering depends on the surface quality of the attack color. The reflection of the electromagnetic radiation of at least one wavelength or a wavelength range leads to the attack color having a different color from black. Thus, the attack color keeps a distinctive character even after washing with chemicals and is different from dirt and impurities. In addition, the attack color according to the invention has no disturbing effect on a conventional fitness check of banknotes in an ATM by Auflichtkameras.
Gleichzeitig weist die Überfallsfarbe eine Absorption elektromagnetischer Strahlung im Infrarotbereich auf. In diesem Bereich zeigen herkömmliche Überfallsfarben keine oder lediglich eine verschwindend geringe Absorption. Sie sind im Infrarotbereich transparent. Die im Infrarotbereich absorbierende Eigenschaft der erfindungsgemäßen Überfallsfarbe dient der Maschinenlesbarkeit. Wenn es sich bei dem Dokument um eine Banknote handelt, ist die Absorption im Infrarotbereich von besonderem Nutzen, da der größte Teil der Banknote und besonders der Banknotenrand im Infrarotbereich transparent, also nicht zeichnend ist. Daher ist eine Überfallsfarbe mit einer Absorption im Infrarotbereich besonders einfach zu detektieren. Zur Detektion der Absorption im Infrarotbereich werden in Banknotenlesegeräten vorwiegend optische, bildgebende Sensoren wie beispielsweise CMOS-, SMOS- und CCD-Sensoren eingesetzt, die neben einer Empfindlichkeit im sichtbaren Spektralbereich auch über eine Empfindlichkeit im nahen Infrarotbereich verfügen.At the same time, the attack color has an absorption of electromagnetic radiation in the infrared range. In this area, conventional attack colors show no or only a negligible absorption. They are transparent in the infrared range. The infrared absorbing property of the overprinting ink of the present invention is for machine readability. If the document is a banknote, the absorption in the infrared range is of particular use, since the largest part of the banknote and especially the banknote edge in the infrared range is transparent, ie not drawing. Therefore, an attack color having infrared absorption is particularly easy to detect. For the detection of the absorption in the infrared range, banknote readers mainly use optical, imaging sensors such as, for example, CMOS, SMOS and CCD sensors, which in addition to sensitivity in the visible spectral range also have a sensitivity in the near infrared range.
Nach einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung weist die Überfallsfarbe des Tintenmakulaturkits eine Absorption elektromagnetischer Strahlung in mindestens einem weiteren, zweiten Wellenlängen-Teilbereich des sichtbaren Spektrums auf, welcher zu dem ersten Wellenlängen-Teilbereich betreffend die Reflexion der elektromagnetischen Strahlung verschieden ist. Durch selektive Absorption elektromagnetischer Strahlung mindestens einer Wellenlänge oder eines Wellenlängenbereichs tritt beispielsweise eine rote, orange, blaue, grüne oder violette Färbung der Überfallsfarbe bei einer entsprechend komplementären Reflexion der übrigen elektromagnetischen Strahlung auf. Diese Färbungen sind von einer weißen Färbung verschieden. Bunte Überfallsfarben alarmieren den Verbraucher in einem höheren Maße, als eine weiße Färbung. Darüber hinaus ist eine bunte Überfallsfarbe insbesondere dann vorteilhafter, falls die Überfallsfarbe nur auf unbedruckte Bereiche von hellen Dokumenten gelangen sollte. Gerade bei der Markierung von neuen, eng gebündelten Banknoten mit Überfallsfarbe reicht die Durchdringungstiefe häufig nicht aus, um mehr als den unbedruckten Randbereich zu benetzen. Durch eine bunte Färbung der Überfallsfarbe wird ein notwendiger Kontrast zu hellen Bereichen des Dokuments hergestellt und erleichtert so die visuelle Erkennung eines mit Überfallsfarbe markierten Dokuments.According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the attack color of the Tintenmakulaturkits on an absorption of electromagnetic radiation in at least one further, second wavelength subregion of the visible spectrum, which is different to the first wavelength sub-region concerning the reflection of the electromagnetic radiation. By selective absorption of electromagnetic radiation of at least one wavelength or wavelength range, for example, a red, orange, blue, green or violet coloration of the attack color occurs in a correspondingly complementary reflection of the remaining electromagnetic radiation. These colors are different from a white color. Colorful robbery colors alert the consumer to a greater extent than a white dye. In addition, a colorful attack color is particularly advantageous if the attack color should only reach unprinted areas of bright documents. Especially with the marking of new, closely bundled banknotes with attack color, the penetration depth is often not sufficient to wet more than the unprinted border area. A colorful tint of the assault color creates a necessary contrast to bright areas of the document, making it easier to visually identify a document marked with an attack color.
Nach einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung weist der erste Wellenlängen-Teilbereich Strahlung mit Wellenlängen zwischen 490 nm und 575 nm und der zweite Wellenlängen-Teilbereich Strahlung mit Wellenlängen zwischen 380 nm und 490 nm und/oder zwischen 575 nm und 780 nm auf. Eine grüne Überfallsfarbe weist den Vorteil auf, dass sie sich insbesondere nach einem Auswaschen noch deutlich von Verschmutzungen unterscheidet. Darüber hinaus weist eine grüne Überfallsfarbe ein hohes Potential zur Alarmierung eines Benutzers auf.According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the first wavelength subarea has radiation with wavelengths between 490 nm and 575 nm and the second wavelength subarea radiation with wavelengths between 380 nm and 490 nm and / or between 575 nm and 780 nm. A green overpainting ink has the advantage that it still differs significantly from soiling especially after washing out. In addition, a green attack color has a high potential for alerting a user.
Nach einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung weist der erste Wellenlängen-Teilbereich Strahlung mit Wellenlängen zwischen 380 nm und 490 nm und der zweite Wellenlängen-Teilbereich Strahlung mit Wellenlängen zwischen 490 nm und 780 nm auf. Daraus resultiert eine blaue Überfallsfarbe. Diese weist den Vorteil auf, dass sie sich insbesondere nach einem Auswaschen noch deutlich von Verschmutzungen unterscheidet. Eine entsprechend markierte Banknote ist daher eindeutig von nicht markierten Banknoten visuell zu unterscheiden.According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the first wavelength subarea has radiation with wavelengths between 380 nm and 490 nm and the second wavelength subarea radiation with wavelengths between 490 nm and 780 nm. This results in a blue attack color. This has the advantage that it still differs significantly from soiling especially after washing. A correspondingly marked banknote is therefore clearly visually distinguishable from unmarked banknotes.
Nach einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist der Anteil der absorbierten elektromagnetischen Strahlung im Infrarotbereich größer als der Anteil im sichtbaren Spektrum. Die Absorption der Überfallsfarbe weist hierbei im für die Maschinenlesbarkeit besonders wichtigen Infrarotbereich einen höheren Wert auf als die Absorption im sichtbaren Spektralbereich. Dies ist dann besonders wünschenswert, falls das Dokument mit einem Reagenz zur Auswaschung der sichtbaren Färbung behandelt wird, welches auch den im Infrarot absorbierenden Anteil verringert. Dies wird deutlich, wenn man berücksichtigt, dass mit einem Auswaschen der Überfallsfarbe ein möglichst hoher Auswaschungsgrad erreicht werden soll, jedoch durch die Behandlung mit den Chemikalien eine Beschädigung des Dokuments einhergeht, welche insbesondere bei Banknoten zu einem Verlust von Merkmalen führen kann, die für das Bestehen einer Echtheitsprüfung zwingend notwendig sind. Es muss also bei der Auswaschung beachtet werden, dass ein höherer Auswaschungsgrad auch eine stärkere Beschädigung des Dokuments bedingt. Kriminelle, die eine Auswaschung vornehmen, werden versuchen, ein gutes Verhältnis zwischen Auswaschungsgrad und Beschädigung zu erzielen, denn das Banknotenbild soll möglichst unbeschädigt erhalten bleiben. Hierbei wird häufig nach visuellen Gesichtspunkten entschieden. Oft dient das Maß an Auswaschung der sichtbaren Färbung als Anhaltspunkt. Im Fall einer höheren Absorption im Infrarotbereich ist jedoch selbst nach Verschwinden der sichtbaren Färbung immer noch eine unsichtbare Markierung auf dem Dokument vorhanden, anhand derer unrechtmäßig in den Verkehr gelangte Dokumente identifiziert werden können. Würde die Überfallsfarbe demgegenüber etwa gleich hohe Werte für die Absorption in Sichtbaren und im Infrarotbereich aufweisen, könnte der Auswaschungsgrad im Infrarotbereich leichter anhand der Abnahme der Absorption in sichtbaren Bereich abgeschätzt werden.According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the proportion of the absorbed electromagnetic radiation in the infrared range is greater than the proportion in the visible spectrum. The absorption of the attack color in this case has a particularly high value for the machine readability infrared range to a higher value than the absorption in the visible spectral range. This is particularly desirable if the document is treated with a visible dye leaching reagent which also reduces the infrared absorbing moiety. This becomes clear when one considers that washing out of the overprint color is intended to achieve the highest possible degree of washout, but that the treatment with the chemicals entails damage to the document, which can lead to a loss of characteristics, in particular in the case of banknotes Passing an authenticity check are mandatory. It must therefore be taken into account in the leaching that a higher degree of leaching also causes greater damage to the document. Criminals who do a leaching will try to achieve a good ratio between the degree of erosion and damage, because the banknote image should be preserved as undamaged as possible. This is often decided by visual considerations. Often the degree of leaching of the visible color serves as a guide. However, in the case of higher infrared absorption, even after the disappearance of visible staining, there is still an invisible mark on the document which can be used to identify unlawfully placed documents. By contrast, if the attack color had approximately the same values for absorption in the visible and in the infrared range, it would be easier to estimate the degree of washout in the infrared range on the basis of the decrease in absorption in the visible range.
Nach einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung weist die Überfallsfarbe im Infrarotbereich ein Absorptionsmaximum auf. Das bedeutet, die Überfallsfarbe absorbiert die elektromagnetische Strahlung nicht über den gesamten Infrarotbereich, sondern nur innerhalb eines schmalen Wellenlängenbereichs. Die Größe des Wellenlängenbereichs kann zwischen 2 und 50 nm, bevorzugt zwischen 2 und 20 nm, besonders bevorzugt zwischen 2 und 5 nm liegen. Aber auch Bereiche, die lediglich 1 nm betragen, sind denkbar. Von diesen Absorptionsmaxima können mehrere, auch unterschiedlich große, auf den Infrarotbereich verteilt sein. Dies hat den zusätzlichen Vorteil, dass ein Nachweis mehrerer schmalbandiger Absorptionsmaxima durch einen einzigen Sensor, dessen Empfindlichkeitsbereich in der Regel begrenzt ist, sehr schwierig ist.According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the attack color has an absorption maximum in the infrared range. This means that the attack color does not absorb the electromagnetic radiation over the entire infrared range, but only within a narrow wavelength range. The size of the wavelength range may be between 2 and 50 nm, preferably between 2 and 20 nm, particularly preferably between 2 and 5 nm. But even areas that are only 1 nm, are conceivable. Of these absorption maxima may be several, too different sized, distributed to the infrared range. This has the additional advantage that detection of several narrow-band absorption maxima by a single sensor, whose sensitivity range is usually limited, is very difficult.
Nach einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung emittiert die Überfallsfarbe elektromagnetische Strahlung bei einer Anregung durch elektromagnetische Strahlung. Dies ist beispielsweise durch fluoreszierende Eigenschaften der Überfallsfarbe gegeben. Hierbei absorbiert die Überfallsfarbe elektromagnetische Strahlung mit einer niedrigeren Wellenlänge und emittiert elektromagnetische Strahlung mit einer höheren Wellenlänge. Die Anregung der Überfallsfarbe durch elektromagnetische Strahlung kann mit einer Wellenlänge unter 380 nm erfolgen. Die Emission von elektromagnetischer Strahlung erfolgt im sichtbaren Spektralbereich. Es ist jedoch auch möglich, dass die Überfallsfarbe zusätzlich zu den fluoreszierenden Eigenschaften oder alternativ Up-Konverter-Eigenschaften aufweist. Hierbei erfolgt die Anregung durch langwelligere elektromagnetische Strahlung und es resultiert die Emission von kurzwelligerer elektromagnetischer Strahlung. Diese Up-Konverter-Eigenschaft schließt die Absorption elektromagnetischer Strahlung mit einer Wellenlänge im sichtbaren Spektralbereich und eine Emission elektromagnetischer Strahlung, die ebenfalls im Sichtbaren stattfindet, mit ein. Bevorzugt weist die Überfallsfarbe sowohl Fluoreszenz-, als auch Up-Konverter-Eigenschaften auf. Darüber hinaus sind auch weitere Lumineszenz-Eigenschaften der Überfallsfarbe denkbar.According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the attack color emits electromagnetic radiation in an excitation by electromagnetic radiation. This is given for example by fluorescent properties of the attack color. Here, the attack color absorbs electromagnetic radiation having a lower wavelength and emits electromagnetic radiation having a higher wavelength. The excitation of the attack color by electromagnetic radiation can take place with a wavelength below 380 nm. The emission of electromagnetic radiation takes place in the visible spectral range. However, it is also possible that the overpainting color has in addition to the fluorescent properties or alternatively up-converter properties. In this case, the excitation is carried out by long-wave electromagnetic radiation and it results in the emission of short-wave electromagnetic radiation. This up-converter property includes the absorption of electromagnetic radiation having a wavelength in the visible spectral range and an emission of electromagnetic radiation which also takes place in the visible. Preferably, the overcoat color has both fluorescence and up-converter properties. In addition, other luminescence properties of the attack color are conceivable.
Nach einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung weist die Überfallfarbe bei einer Anregung durch elektromagnetische Strahlung im Infrarotbereich eine Absorption von Energie höherer Wellenlänge unter gleichzeitiger Emission von Energie mit einer niedrigeren Wellenlänge auf. Hierzu zeigt die Überfallsfarbe Up-Konverter-Eigenschaften im Infrarotbereich. Das bedeutet, die Überfallsfarbe absorbiert im Infrarotbereich und emittiert elektromagnetische Strahlung mit einer niedrigeren Wellenlänge als die absorbierte Strahlung im Infrarotbereich oder im sichtbaren Spektralbereich. Die Emission erfolgt regelmäßig bei Wellenlängen zwischen 380 nm bis 1100 nm. Dabei ist es insbesondere von Vorteil, wenn die Anregung bei Wellenlängen erfolgt, welche außerhalb des Arbeitsbereiches von CCD- und CMOS-Sensoren liegen, also häufig oberhalb von 1100 nm. Um eine Anregung der Überfallsfarbe mit Strahlung bei Wellenlängen, die außerhalb des Arbeitsbereiches konventioneller CCD- und CMOS-Sensoren liegen, zu gewährleisten, kann ein Bankautomat mit einer zusätzlichen Lichtquelle zur Abgabe elektromagnetischer Strahlung mit entsprechend hohen Wellenlängen ausgestattet sein. Findet die Anregung in diesem langwelligen Infrarotbereich statt, und erfolgt ebenso die Emission im Infrarotbereich, ist es für Kriminelle sehr schwierig, zu beurteilen, ob und wie stark eine Markierung ausgewaschen wurde.According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the attack color at an excitation by electromagnetic radiation in the infrared range, an absorption of higher wavelength energy with simultaneous emission of energy at a lower wavelength. For this, the attack color shows up-converter properties in the infrared range. That is, the attack color absorbs in the infrared region and emits electromagnetic radiation having a lower wavelength than the absorbed radiation in the infrared region or in the visible spectral region. The emission occurs regularly at wavelengths between 380 nm to 1100 nm. It is particularly advantageous if the excitation at Wavelengths occur which lie outside the working range of CCD and CMOS sensors, that is often above 1100 nm. In order to ensure excitation of the attack color with radiation at wavelengths that are outside the working range of conventional CCD and CMOS sensors, can an ATM equipped with an additional light source for emitting electromagnetic radiation with correspondingly high wavelengths. If the excitation takes place in this long-wave infrared range, and if the emission in the infrared range takes place as well, it is very difficult for criminals to judge whether and how much a mark has been washed out.
Nach einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung weist die Überfallsfarbe mindestens ein Farbmittel auf, durch welches die Reflexion der elektromagnetischen Strahlung im sichtbaren Spektralbereich erfolgt. Bei dem Farbmittel kann es sich um ein anorganisches oder ein organisches Farbmittel, ein Pigment oder einen Farbstoff handeln. In einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung weist das Farbmittel zudem eine Absorption im Infrarotbereich auf. In einer weiteren besonders vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung weist das Farbmittel neben der Reflexion elektromagnetischer Strahlung im sichtbaren Spektralbereich und der Absorption im Infrarotbereich eine Absorption im sichtbaren Spektralbereich und/oder Up-Konverter-Eigenschaften auf. Zudem kann das Farbmittel eine UV-Fluoreszenz aufweisen. Im Fall, dass das Farbmittel gleichzeitig mehrere der aufgeführten Eigenschaften aufweist, kann die Konzentration des Farbmittels in der Überfallsfarbe besonders hoch gewählt werden, was Voraussetzung für eine hohe optische Dichte der Überfallsfarbe ist.According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the attack color on at least one colorant through which the reflection of the electromagnetic radiation takes place in the visible spectral range. The colorant may be an inorganic or an organic colorant, a pigment or a dye. In a particularly advantageous embodiment, the colorant also has an absorption in the infrared range. In a further particularly advantageous embodiment, in addition to the reflection of electromagnetic radiation in the visible spectral range and the absorption in the infrared range, the colorant has an absorption in the visible spectral range and / or up-converter properties. In addition, the colorant may have a UV fluorescence. In the case where the colorant has at the same time several of the listed properties, the concentration of the colorant in the overcoat color can be selected to be particularly high, which is a prerequisite for a high optical density of the overprint color.
Nach einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung weist die Überfallfarbe mindestens eine anorganische oder organische Komponente auf, durch welche die Absorption elektromagnetischer Strahlung im Infrarotbereich erfolgt. Handelt es sich bei der Komponente um Up-Konverter, so bestehen diese vorwiegend aus Halogeniden oder Chalcogeniden des Natriums, Lithiums oder Yttriums, welche ein stabiles Gitter bilden und mit bestimmten Elementen, meist mit Übergangsmetallen, Lanthanoiden oder Actinoiden dotiert sind. Auch Oxide können als Gitterstrukturen zur Anwendung kommen. Auch Gemische aus diesen Up-Konvertern sind denkbar.According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the attack color on at least one inorganic or organic component, through which the absorption of electromagnetic radiation takes place in the infrared range. If the component is an up-converter, these are predominantly halides or chalcogenides of sodium, lithium or yttrium, which form a stable lattice and are doped with certain elements, usually with transition metals, lanthanides or actinides. Oxides can also be used as lattice structures. Even mixtures of these up-converters are conceivable.
Gegenstand der Erfindung ist ein Tintenmakulaturkit zum Markieren von Dokumenten bei unbefugtem Zugriff auf die Dokumente, mit einer Überfallsfarbe, mit einem Reservoir zur Aufnahme der Überfallsfarbe und mit einer auslösbaren Schutzeinrichtung zum Freisetzen der Überfallsfarbe aus dem Reservoir. Ein oder mehrere Tintenmakulaturkits können in eine Banknotentransportkassette, einen Koffer oder einen anderen Behälter integriert sein. Als Reservoir zur Bevorratung der Überfallsfarbe kann eine Kartusche dienen. Hierbei ist besonders vorteilhaft, dass die Überfallsfarbe sowohl zur Markierung der Dokumente im sichtbaren Spektralbereich, als auch im maschinenlesbaren Infrarotbereich dient. Hierdurch kann auf die Verwendung von mehreren Reservoirs mit mehreren verschiedenen Markierungen, welche unter Umständen vor dem Ausbringen nicht miteinander vermischt werden dürfen, verzichtet werden. Sobald Sensoren einer Schutzeinrichtung einen unbefugten Zugriff registrieren, wird eine Freisetzung der Überfallsfarbe bewirkt. Die Freisetzung der Überfallsfarbe kann hierbei über eine Beaufschlagung des Reservoirs mit Druck erfolgen, wobei die Überfallsfarbe durch ein Druckventil das Reservoir verlässt. Hierzu wird beispielsweise bei der Auslösung der Schutzeinrichtung über einen CO2-Druckbehälter Gas in das Reservoir gedrängt. Dieser Mechanismus ermöglicht eine äußerst schnelle Reaktion auf einen Zugriff durch Nichtbefugte. Zusätzlich kann das Tintenmakulaturkit mit einer Verteileinrichtung zum Verteilen der Überfallsfarbe auf den Dokumenten ausgestattet sein. Bei der Verteileinrichtung kann es sich um eine Düse, einen Schlauch oder einen Verteilerarm handeln, der zu der gezielten Verteilung der Überfallsfarbe am Druckventil des Reservoirs angeordnet ist. Darüber hinaus sind auch Schutzeinrichtungen zur Freisetzung von Überfallsfarbe mittels einer Sprengkapsel denkbar. Mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Tintenakulaturkit ist es demnach möglich, Dokumente bei einem Zugriff von Unbefugten sowohl im sichtbaren Spektralbereich zu markieren als auch eine maschinenlesbare Markierung mit einer Absorption im Infrarotbereich auf den Dokumenten anzubringen.The invention relates to an ink waste kit for marking documents in the event of unauthorized access to the documents, with an attack color, with a reservoir for receiving the attack color and with a triggerable protective device for releasing the attack color from the reservoir. One or more ink delivery kits may be incorporated into a bill transport cassette, case, or other container. As a reservoir for storing the attack color can serve a cartridge. It is particularly advantageous that the attack color serves both to mark the documents in the visible spectral range, as well as in the machine-readable infrared range. This can be dispensed with the use of multiple reservoirs with several different markers, which may not be mixed together before application, may be. As soon as sensors of a protective device register an unauthorized access, a release of the attack color is effected. The release of the attack color can in this case take place by acting on the reservoir with pressure, the attack color leaves the reservoir through a pressure valve. For this purpose, gas is forced into the reservoir, for example, when the protective device is triggered via a CO 2 pressure vessel. This mechanism allows extremely fast response to unauthorized access. In addition, the ink waste kit may be provided with a dispenser for distributing the overprint color on the documents. The distribution device may be a nozzle, a hose or a distributor arm, which is arranged for the targeted distribution of the attack color on the pressure valve of the reservoir. In addition, protective devices for the release of attack color by means of a detonator are also conceivable. It is therefore possible with the ink-ink kit according to the invention to mark documents in the event of unauthorized access both in the visible spectral range and to attach a machine-readable marking with an absorption in the infrared range to the documents.
Ein weiterer Gegenstand der Erfindung ist ein Verfahren zum Markieren von Dokumenten mit einem Tintenmakulaturkit, umfassend die Schritte:
- a) Bereitstellen der Überfallsfarbe,
- b) Auslösen der Schutzeinrichtung,
- c) Verteilen der Überfallsfarbe auf die Dokumente.
- a) providing the attack color,
- b) triggering of the protective device,
- c) Distribute the attack color on the documents.
Das Bereitstellen der Überfallsfarbe erfolgt in einem Reservoir. Aus diesem Reservoir wird die Überfallsfarbe beim Auslösen der Schutzeinrichtung entlassen. Wird die Überfallsfarbe durch die Schutzeinrichtung mit Druck über ein Ventil aus dem Reservoir entlassen, kann die Verteilung der Überfallsfarbe über Düsen, Schläuche, Verteilerarme und dergleichen erfolgen. Über das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren ist es möglich, gleichzeitig die Dokumente im sichtbaren Spektralbereich zu markieren, als auch über eine Absorption im Infrarotbereich mit einer maschinenlesbaren Markierung zu versehen.The provision of the attack color takes place in a reservoir. From this reservoir, the attack color is released when the protective device is triggered. If the attack color is released from the reservoir by the protective device with pressure via a valve, the distribution of the attack color can take place via nozzles, tubes, distributor arms and the like. By means of the method according to the invention, it is possible to simultaneously mark the documents in the visible spectral range and to provide them with a machine-readable marking via absorption in the infrared range.
