Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for producing a security feature for value documents, in particular banknotes, identity cards and the like, wherein the security feature has at least one tactile detectable structure which is applied to a substrate of the value document.
  • the at least one tactile structure here consists of paint or varnish, wherein the color and / or the varnish is applied by means of a printing process to the substrate of the value document.
  • value documents such as banknotes, securities, credit or identity cards, passports, certificates and the like, labels, packaging or other elements for product protection are provided with security elements with tactile structures.
  • a data carrier in particular value document, such as banknote, identity card and the like, with a substrate known having at least one paper layer and which is covered on both sides in each case over the entire surface of a polymeric cover layer.
  • the substrate and the polymeric cover layer have substantially congruently arranged, tactile detectable embossed structures which are produced by the action of an embossing tool on the polymeric cover layer and the substrate and which have a relief height of 20 ⁇ m to 400 ⁇ m in total.
  • the tactile structure In order to ensure good haptic recognition for almost all groups of people, the tactile structure must have at least a certain height. Ideally, a tactile structure should have a height of more than 50 microns, preferably more than 80 microns and more preferably more than 120 microns have. This ensures that the perceived threshold for tactile detectable increases is exceeded and a user who sweeps his fingertip over the tactile structures can perceive this as an increase in relation to the surrounding substrate surface. A tactile structure can thus be perceived haptically independently of its optically perceptible appearance, so that the value document can also be unambiguously recognized by individuals with limited or reduced visual strength and checked for authenticity.
  • tactile structures are applied to a substrate by embossing, printing or transfer methods or by a combination of these methods. Furthermore, tactile structures can also be applied to a substrate by means of laser radiation, the laser radiation breaking the surface of the substrate or allowing the substrate to swell.
  • Embossing methods are also common methods for value documents in order to produce tactile structures.
  • the embossing is dependent not only on the shape of the embossing stamp on the quality of the substrate.
  • paper-based substrates can be partially deformed by an embossing process.
  • the embossing height is usually between 50 .mu.m and 80 .mu.m in the case of paper banknotes with an embossing stamp having an embossing depth of 120 .mu.m.
  • the impression height is only between 20 .mu.m and 50 .mu.m, ie only about half as high as with paper banknotes and below or at the perception threshold for tactile structures ,
  • embossing is generally carried out by means of the so-called intaglio printing method, in which an embossing stamp is pressed onto the substrate with high mechanical pressure.
  • intaglio printing In the case of banknotes, embossing is generally carried out by means of the so-called intaglio printing method, in which an embossing stamp is pressed onto the substrate with high mechanical pressure.
  • both the classical ink-conducting intaglio printing is used, in which the depressions of the embossing stamp are at least partially filled with a color, as well as the so-called blind embossing, in which the depressions of the embossing stamp are not filled.
  • the haptic experience is due to the elevation itself, but above all to the partially different micro-roughness of the surface of the elevations, which, however, is only slightly perceptible.
  • it is disadvantageous in all embossing methods that the embossing of the substrate during the lifetime or circulation of a
  • Tactile structures can also be generated without simultaneous substrate embossing with printing processes.
  • tactile structures such as Braille fonts, can also be produced by screen printing.
  • the tactile structures are usually built up in layers by printing individual color layers with a smaller thickness one over the other, so that the overall result is a thickness or height of 0.2 mm to 0.3 mm.
  • UV-drying inks or paints are used. These paints or varnishes usually contain no or only low concentrations of volatile components, such as e.g. Iso-propyl alcohol (IPA), a colorless, flammable liquid.
  • IPA Iso-propyl alcohol
  • the production of tactile structures by means of a transfer process, in which prefabricated the tactile structure on a support is transferred and then transferred to the substrate.
  • the transfer method requires a high cost, so that this method is not usually used for securities or banknote printing.
  • tactile structures which consist of a tactile imprint, wherein the imprint has additional features.
  • additional features include, for example, different colors, effect colors, magnetizable pigments, fluorescents, different shapes, or retroreflective glass beads.
  • WO 2009/106799 A1 tactile structures are known in which at least three tactile detectable particles per mm 2 are in a paint layer, said tactile detectable particles protrude at least 10 microns from the paint layer.
  • the invention is therefore the object of developing a generic security element such that the disadvantages of the prior art is eliminated and the protection against counterfeiting is further increased.

  • the substrate preferably comprises paper and / or a film, in particular a translucent or transparent film (for example in the window region of a banknote).
  • the substrate is completely made of either paper or plastic.
  • the substrate can also be made of different materials in some areas, and in particular in a range of paper and at the same time in another area made of plastic, preferably from a translucent film exist. This makes it possible to emboss different materials as a substrate in one operation.
  • Translucent film is here understood to mean either a transparent or a semitransparent film, for example a translucent film which contains, for example, polyamide, polyester, polyethylene or biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP).
  • a printing process for producing tactile structures is, for example, the "X-Dot" spray nozzle process developed by hss baumer. This printing process was specially developed for the production of Braille typefaces and is very similar to the inkjet process. However, the transferred amount of ink is greater by several powers of ten than with a conventional inkjet printer from the office sector. The transferred ink drop is not achieved as in a conventional inkjet printer via a piezoelectric element or a short-pulse thermal heating in the print head, but via a mechanical opening and closing of a closure. With In this method, tactile structures with a height of up to 300 ⁇ m can be produced.
  • the screen printing method according to the invention is also known.
  • the ink is printed with a rubber squeegee through a fine mesh fabric onto the substrate.
  • Non-printing areas are previously rendered opaque in the screen by means of a coating by an exposure process.
  • the layer thickness of the printing ink applied to the substrate is determined essentially by the sieve thickness. The greater the thickness of the screen, the greater the height of the transferred layer thickness.
