Definitions
- the invention relates to a value and security document, which consists of a substrate with a front and a back, wherein on the front or back of the substrate, a color layer is applied.
- a first motif in the form of a pattern, character or a coding is introduced in the color layer.
- the first motif is in the form of an embossed structure, which consists of a plurality of raised embossing elements with surfaces of different orientation, which are characterized by the parameters size, outline shape, relief shape, reflectivity and spatial orientation.
- This embossing structure shows a first tilting or movement effect when tilting the value and security document by at least two different groups of embossing elements with different characteristic parameters reflecting incident light into different spatial areas.
- the embossing elements each have a lateral dimension of more than 30 ⁇ and a height of more than 10 ⁇ .
- the invention further relates to a method for producing a corresponding value and security document.
- a generic value and security document is known for example from EP 2608964 A2.
- Securities and security documents such as banknotes, valuables or ID documents, but also other valuables, such as branded articles, are often provided with security elements for security that allow verification of the authenticity of the data carrier and at the same time serve as protection against unauthorized reproduction.
- the security elements may, for example, be in the form of a security embedded in a banknote. thread, a cover sheet for a banknote with hole, an applied security strip, a self-supporting transfer element or in the form of a directly applied to a value document feature area be formed.
- the viewing angle-dependent visual effects show, as they can not be reproduced even with the latest copiers.
- effect pigments are used, which show different representations and thus a tilting effect at different viewing angles.
- the invention has the object of developing a generic value and security document in such a way that the protection against counterfeiting is further increased.
- the first motif is combined with a second motif in the form of a pattern, character or a coding, wherein the second motif is arranged on the same side of the substrate as the first motif.
- the second motif is hereby designed in the form of an embossed structure, which consists of a multiplicity of raised embossing elements with surfaces of different orientation, which are characterized by the parameters size, outline shape, relief shape, reflection capacity and spatial orientation.
- the embossed structure forms the second motif with a second tilting or movement effect by having different groups of embossing elements different incidental parameters reflect incident light into different spatial areas.
- the embossing elements each have a lateral dimension of less than 30 ⁇ and a height of less than 10 ⁇ .
- the pattern, the character or the encoding of the first motif is at least partially adapted to the pattern, the character or the coding of the second motif.
- An embossed structure with embossing elements in the form of micromirrors, each having a lateral dimension of less than 30 ⁇ and a height of less than 10 ⁇ , is known from WO 2007/079851 AI.
- first motif with a first tilting or movement effect and a second motif from an embossing structure with a second tilting or movement effect
- second motif in the form of embossed structures
- an optical security feature that also increases the security against counterfeiting of the value and security document, since the embossed structures can be analyzed by a counterfeiter or imitator only with increased technical effort and therefore difficult to imitate.
- the two individual effects in one better correlated and thus easier to authenticate relationship with each other.
- the interplay of both individual effects is formed by a meaningfulness which is only possible through their special combination and thus offers an additional possibility of authentication.
- An object in the sense of this invention is, for example, a letter or text, a numeral or number, a motif, a portrait, a combination of the aforementioned objects or any geometric shape or graphic image, such as an oval, a star or a Wheel.
- the at least partial adaptation of an image to another image or the pattern, the character or the coding of the first motif to the pattern, the character or the coding of the second motif means, for example
- both images or patterns each represent a partial image of an overall image and the overall image results in the interaction of the two partial images, for example, one image represents a first part of a digit or a text and the other image represents the remaining part of the digit or text Text or
- the one picture shows the name "bird" as text and the other picture shows the pictorial representation of a bird or shows one picture the name of a person and the other picture the portrait of this person.
- At least partially means that at least partial areas of one image, pattern or motif are adapted to partial areas of the second image, pattern or motif, wherein the remaining partial areas can show no or another dynamic movement effect.
- the entire area of the one image, pattern or motif is preferably adapted to a partial area or the entire area of the other image, pattern or motif.
- the first and second motif have a similar but not exactly the same appearance, which is due to the characteristic features of the associated, preferably different production methods.
- a second motif can be realized by a film element (eg embossing structures in a thermoplastic or radiation-curing lacquer, which are subsequently metallized), which shines much more strongly than a first motif, which is realized by intaglio blind embossing in a screen printing ink.
- the area with intaglio blind embossing can be tactile, ie palpable with the fingers and, for example, noticeably rough or ribbed, while a second motif realized by a film element has a smooth surface without any noticeable relief.
- the second motif is applied on the same side of the substrate on which the first motif is located.
- the first and the second motif may be arranged directly or directly on the surface of the substrate.
- the second motif can also be arranged indirectly or indirectly on the surface of the substrate, in which case the second motif is arranged on a further substrate.
- the further substrate on which the second motif is arranged is arranged directly on the substrate or at least partially within the substrate of the security and value document.
- the second motif is arranged in the form of an embossed structure on a security thread or security strip, which is applied to the substrate or at least partially introduced into the substrate.
- the security thread is preferably a so-called window or pendulum thread which is embedded in the substrate and guided at certain points of the substrate to the surface of the substrate, wherein the first motif and the second motif are arranged in register with each other.
- the color layer is preferably made translucent and arranged in at least a portion above the security thread or security strip.
- the first motif reflects two or more different image motifs into different spatial regions, so that a first tilt or motion image is created for a viewer upon corresponding movement of the value and security document.
- the second motif also creates the impression of a second tilt or movement image. The first tilt or movement image is now at least partially adapted to the second tilt or movement image or the second tilt or movement image at least partially to the first tilt or movement image.
- the first tilt or motion image shows a rotating object as the asset and security document is tilted.
- the second motive also gives the impression of a rotation as the asset and security document is tilted, which picks up or continues the rotation of the object of the first subject.
- the second motif is arranged around the first motif around and turn the two subjects in the same direction, so that the viewer the impression of a single rotating object results.
- the rotational movements may also be opposite, resulting in a very dynamic appearing movement.
- Translucency in the sense of this invention means that an object, such as the substrate or the color layer, allows light incident in a certain proportion to pass through. When light strikes one side of the object, a certain portion of the light is transmitted to the other side of the object and exits there again. The greater the percentage of transmitted light in relation to the incident light, the greater the transmittance lucent is the object. If the percentage is at least 90%, ie if the object allows the incident light to pass through almost unimpaired, as in the case of a window, the object is called transparent. On the other hand, an object that transmits about 0% of the incident light, that is, in which the amount of transmitted light is small or close to zero, is called opaque or non-translucent.
- a laser inscription is placed on at least one side of the substrate such that the laser inscription overlaps at least partially both the first motif and the second motif.
- the substrate according to the invention can be designed as a single-layer or multi-layer security paper.
- Multi-ply security paper contains at least one ply of paper.
- the further layers can likewise be made of paper, but also of other materials, for example by plastic films.
- the security paper is particularly preferably made of cotton fibers, as used for example for banknotes.
- the substrate may also consist of paper of other natural fibers, also preferably of synthetic fibers, ie a mixture of natural and synthetic fibers or also preferably of at least one plastic film.
- the substrate consists of a combination of at least two superimposed and interconnected different substrates, a so-called hybrid, for example a combination plastic film-paper plastic film, ie a paper substrate is covered on each side by a plastic film, or paper Plastic film paper, ie a substrate a plastic film is covered on both sides by a paper substrate.
- the weight of the substrate used are given, for example, in the document DE 102 43 653 A9, the statements of which are fully incorporated in this application in this regard.
- the document DE 10243653 A9 states in particular that the paper layer usually has a weight of 50 g / m 2 to 100 g / m 2 , preferably from 80 g / m 2 to 90 g / m 2 .
- any suitable weight can be used.
- Security elements or documents of value for which such a substrate or security paper can be used are, in particular, banknotes, stocks, bonds, certificates, vouchers, checks, high-quality admission cards, but also other counterfeited papers, such as passports and other identity documents, as well as Cards, such as credit or debit cards, whose card body has at least one layer of security paper, and also product securing elements, such as labels, seals, packaging and the like.
- the color layer consists of at least one effect color.
- the effect colors are in particular substrate, flexographic or screen printing inks, in particular screen printing inks with high reflectivity and a relatively small pigment size. This property is exhibited, for example, by UV-curable screen printing inks (silver, Gold, bronze). A sparkleness can be achieved by overprinting with translucent colors. Of course, a multicolor can be displayed in this way.
- Colorshift inks made from interference-layer pigments colors based on pearlescent pigments or liquid-crystal pigments are also suitable.
- banknote paper has a rough surface
- This primer can be applied either underground, screen or flexographic printing and smoothes the rough surface of the substrate.
- the screen-printed pigments are thus better aligned.
- the ink film is smoother and has a higher reflectivity.
- Printing inks containing magnetically-alignable effect pigments are expressly excluded from the scope of this invention because they are expensive to purchase and to process.
- An alignment directed effect reflective pigments is rather preferably provided by embossing, for example by means of Intaglio blind embossing.
- the screen printing ink 1 is the lower screen printing layer or the primer and the screen printing ink 2 is the upper screen printing layer, if it has been printed on a printer.
- the gloss values were measured with a glossmeter "micro-gloss" from BYK-Gardner at an angle of 60 ° with respect to the vertical, the measurement results of the glossmeter are not related to the amount of light irradiated, but to a black, polished
- UV silver color GD Silver 4410 alone shows a very high reflectivity
- selectively reflective ink systems have much lower gloss values (15 to 30 gloss units), which can be increased to 35 to 50 gloss units by combining them with a primer.
- overprinting the UV silver color GD Silver 4410 with background colors leads to a reduction in the gloss value, the effect of the embossing is nevertheless very clearly visible.
- the size of the effect pigments is also decisive for the quality of the effect, since small pigments can follow the structures of the embossing much better, whereas larger pigments can possibly break.
- the size of the effect pigments is between 1 ⁇ to 50 ⁇ ⁇ , preferably between 5 ⁇ to 25 ⁇ to allow embossing of the ink layer, resulting in a clearly recognizable change of information or a clearly discernible dynamic motion effect.
- the color layer can also consist of at least one vapor-deposited metal layer or of multilayer thin-film layer interference layers, which are known, for example, from WO 2009/149831 A2.
- Recesses in the overprinting increase the design possibilities, so that in the supervision also so-called "bimetallic" impressions (silver / gold) can be implemented, whereby a yellowish overprint on a silver background creates a golden hue. If the yellow overpressure is omitted in some areas, the result is an alternating gold-colored and silver-colored and thus "bimetallic" area.
- the invention further relates to a method for producing a value and security document according to the invention, wherein the color layer is printed on the substrate with effect pigments.
- all known from the prior art printing methods can be used, particularly preferably the screen printing method or the flexographic printing process.
- a color layer with a high layer thickness is applied to the substrate, for example with the aid of an anilox roller an inking with a weight per unit area of 20 g / m 2 .
- the embossed structures are preferably produced with an embossing plate or an embossing cylinder, particularly preferably a intaglio printing plate or a gravure printing cylinder, into which the embossed structures are introduced, for example by means of lasering.
- the dimensions of the embossed structures are laterally more than 30 ⁇ , preferably more than 30 ⁇ to 2000 ⁇ , more preferably more than 30 ⁇ to 300 ⁇ and most preferably more than 30 ⁇ to 150 ⁇ and in height more than 10 ⁇ , Preferably more than 10 ⁇ to 150 ⁇ , more preferably more than 10 ⁇ to 100 ⁇ and most preferably more than 10 ⁇ to 60 ⁇ .
- embossed structures are known, for example, from WO 2013/045055 A1.
- Fig. 1 shows an oval print 1, which is printed on one side of a substrate of a banknote.
- the imprint 1 consists here of individual embossed structures which are not visible to a viewer and which show a second motif with a dynamic movement effect in the form of moving lines.
- recesses 2 in the form of the text "CT100” and recesses 3 in the form of the number "100".
- a security thread 4 which is introduced in the form of a window thread in the substrate of the banknote.
- three regions of the window thread are arranged on the surface of the banknote and two regions of the pendulum thread lying between these regions are arranged inside the substrate of the banknote and thus are not visible.
- a first motif 5 which, like the imprint, shows a moving effect with moving lines, this effect of movement being produced by an effect color.
- the effect color are recesses 5 in the form of the text "CT100”.
- the numeral "100" here represents the value of the banknote, which is thus located both on the security thread 4 and in the imprint 1. In this way, a viewer can recognize a logical connection between the motifs of the security thread 4 and the imprint 1. Further The viewer perceives that both motifs have the same or at least a very similar movement effect.
- Fig. 2 shows a similar embodiment as Fig. 1, in which case the oval imprint 1 is printed on the surface of the bill that it overlaps the security thread 4 slightly. Furthermore, recesses 6 in the form of the number "100" in the imprint 1 are arranged in such a way that they apparently protrude beyond the edge of the imprint 1 and are continued or supplemented with imprinting with black ink outside the imprint 1. Additionally, also on the security thread 4 recesses 7 in the form of part of the text "CT100" are arranged so that they complement each other with recesses in the imprint 1 and a black imprint on the banknote to the overall text "CT100".
- FIG 3 shows an imprint 8 in the form of the number "100."
- the outline shape of the imprint 8 thus corresponds to the recesses on the security thread 4.
- FIG. 5 shows in FIG. 5 a, in vertical plan view, a detail of one side of a banknote with a strip-shaped security strip 10 and an optically variable imprint 12.
- the optically variable imprint 12 consists of a color layer of an effect color, which in some areas forms the first motif 11 in the form shows the numeral "50", which changes into a five-pointed star during tilting
- the embossing structure 12 consists of embossing elements arranged in parallel, as are known, for example, from WO 2013/045055 A1, and partially shows the first motif 13.
- the security strip 10 also exhibits a tipping effect between the value "50" and a five-pointed star forming the second motif here
- the "50" and the star may also appear arched, which in the case of a smooth-feeling security strip e.g. On film basis is particularly amazing and memorable.
- the realization of such tilting images with arching effect is known, for example, from WO 2014/060089 A2.
- the motifs can also tilt just opposite.
