Definitions
- the invention relates to a substrate suitable for storage for the production of value documents, a security element suitable for storage for the production of value documents, a value document and method for the production thereof.
- Value documents within the meaning of the present invention are, for example, banknotes, stocks, bonds, certificates, vouchers, checks, lottery tickets, high-quality admission tickets, passports, identity cards, credit cards and other flat valuables.
- Such flat valuables can be, for example, packaging for optionally high-quality products.
- the term value document also encompasses all precursors of finished value documents which, for example, are not yet fit for circulation, such as, among others, security paper, film or film composites. Such a value document can also only be part of a valuable item.
- a security element in the sense of the present invention can For example, a window or see-through window, which is formed for example by a transparent film, a security thread to be a typographically generated feature such as a micro-print, a film strip, a patch or a label.
- a security element in particular a security element in the form of a security thread or a film strip, can be designed as an optically variable security element, wherein in the context of the present invention an optically variable security element is understood to be an optical element whose visual impression produced by a viewer depends on the viewing direction that is to say the perspective of the viewer on the optical element and possibly also of the direction of incidence of an illumination light beam.
- optically variable security elements are diffraction structures that produce a viewing angle-dependent visual impression, in particular by reconstructing optically perceivable patterns, such as emboss or volume holograms and other kinegrams, such as achromatic matte structures.
- optically variable elements are optical elements that exhibit a so-called color shift effect, such as single- or multi-layer thin-film interference layers or liquid crystal layers, which can be present as a continuous layer or in pigment form (so-called effect pigments such as iriodines).
- lens or micromirror structures within an optically variable security element Such optical elements have in common that they are usually based on a polymer layer, for example a plastic film, or at least comprise a polymer layer as a cover or protective layer.
- security elements In the specific case that the optical element is constructed on the basis of a plastic film, the element may be referred to as an optical film element.
- the security element is an optically variable element, its optically variable effect can be impaired or completely prevented.
- one measure would be to provide the ink receiving layer with a reduced layer thickness or with such a filler content, so that the opacity and / or the clouding effect of the ink-accepting layer is reduced so as to ensure improved perceptibility of a security element.
- this has the disadvantage that thereby deteriorates the adhesion and drying of the ink of the applied additional imprint. If the requirement for a good ink acceptance, a more or less pronounced turbidity above the security element must be accepted. On the other hand, if there is a requirement, for example, to produce a clear inspection window, then one is satisfactory ink acceptance of the printing ink of the further imprint on the window so far not possible.
- the object of the present invention is therefore to provide a substrate for the production of documents of value, which allows a good ink acceptance, adhesion and drying of a printing ink to be applied another imprint, without causing a matting or opacification of a security element located below the imprint. It is a further object of the invention to provide a value document with such a security element as well as methods for producing the value document. Another object is to provide a security element for the production of documents of value, which allows a color receiving layer with good ink acceptance, adhesion and drying of an ink of an applied further imprint.
- a first aspect of the invention relates to a method for producing a value document comprising the steps:
- the substrate provided in step (a) preferably comprises a security element which is arranged in or on the substrate such that a first surface of the security element forms a common surface with a first surface of the substrate, and the ink acceptance layer over the entire surface, or at least Partial surface above the first surface of the security element or at least part of the surface above the first surface of the substrate is arranged.
- the prior art paint-receiving layers heretofore used in value document substrates have been formulated to be as absorbent as possible in terms of their chemical composition in order to avoid the so-called setting of e.g. in oils and non-reactive components contained in offset and steel engraving inks.
- This drying step is indispensable for the further processing of the printed value documents.
- the absorbency of the ink-accepting layer is also advantageous for the physical drying of water-based or organic solvent-based gravure, flexographic or screen printing inks.
- a strong opacity or at least a clear clouding inevitably resulted.
- a layer thickness of the ink-accepting layer of at least 4 ⁇ inevitably resulted for a sufficiently high pumping speed.
- high energy curable inks are used to make a value document according to the present invention.
- high-energy radiation is meant here UV radiation or electron radiation.
- Printing inks, which are curable by high-energy radiation generally have a high energy content Solid fraction and are based for example on unsaturated acrylates or on epoxides.
