  • DE 195 02 646 discloses a method for printing coated surfaces in the transfer printing process, wherein a coating material is used, which is partially crosslinked before the transfer printing, and thus is quasi thermoplastic, and which is crosslinked during transfer or finally.
  • the printed surfaces are postcrosslinked by means of ultraviolet, infrared or electron irradiation.
  • EP 2 042 335 A2 discloses an ink jet printing method wherein a primer liquid is applied to a data carrier and the primer liquid is partially cured. Subsequently, an image with an ink is applied to the primer liquid, which is cured by irradiation.
  • Value documents within the meaning of the present invention are, for example, bank notes, stocks, bonds, certificates, vouchers, checks, lottery tickets, high-quality entrance tickets, passports, identity cards, credit cards and others flat valuables.
  • Such flat valuables can be, for example, packaging for optionally high-quality products.

  • 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-layer 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).

  • the ink accepting layer 5 is suitable for the ink acceptance of high energy radiation curable inks. Accordingly, the resulting surface of the banknote in the region of the optical film element 2 consists of the ink accepting layer 5 and the remainder of the surface of the substrate 1. Accordingly, good printability is created over the entire surface of the entire document of value, ie the ink receptivity of the substrate is achieved by applying of the described, designed as a transfer element optical film element is not affected.
  • FIG. 2a a second embodiment of a value document is shown in the form of a banknote.
  • the value document in turn comprises a substrate 1, which may consist of paper or a paper-like material or else of plastic or a film.
  • the substrate is typically (but not necessarily) opaque.
  • a color accepting layer 5 suitable for the ink acceptance of printing inks which are curable by high-energy radiation can be arranged directly on this common surface.
  • the ink receiving layer 5 can be obtained, for example, from the above-mentioned formulations 1 to 7.
  • This in FIG. 2a illustrated embodiment is a composite film banknote, in which substrate 1, as well as window 6 and security thread 7 of a plastic layer 8, for example a PET film, are coated.
  • the ink receiving layer 5 is arranged directly on the plastic layer 8 in this case.
  • the ink receiving layer 5 thus forms a uniform surface of the document of value and thus provides a uniform ink receptivity to high energy curable inks on the entire document of value.
  • FIG. 2b in section shown another embodiment differs from the in FIG. 2a illustrated embodiment by an additional opaque ink receiving layer 9, which is suitable for the color image of conventional, non-radiation-curing inks.
  • the ink accepting layer 5, which is suitable for color pickup of high-energy-curable printing inks, is disposed above the opaque ink-receiving layer 9, that is, the ink-receiving layer 5 is coated in a later step than the opaque ink receiving layer 9 applied.
  • the ink-accepting layer 5 has the same thickness as the opaque ink-accepting layer 9.
  • the layer thickness of the ink accepting layer 5 suitable for ink-accepting radiation-curing inks preferably has a value within a range of 0.5 to 5 ⁇ m, more preferably 1 to 2 ⁇ m.
  • the layer thickness of the ink-accepting layer 5 is less than the layer thickness of the opaque ink-accepting layer 9, which is suitable for the ink acceptance of conventional printing inks and typically has a value of at least 4 ⁇ m.
  • the invention has been described with reference to security elements formed as optical film elements, which are formed on the basis of a film.
  • security elements formed as optical film elements, which are formed on the basis of a film.
  • the present invention is not limited to optical film elements. It could just as security elements are used, which have a polymer film instead of a plastic film.
  • the security element may be, for example, a feature produced by printing technology, for example a microprint.
