Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé de production d'un élément de sécurité. Le procédé selon l'invention comprend les étapes suivantes consistant à : a) fournir un support pourvu d'une couche de vernis de gaufrage, qui comporte une première structure en relief formant une structure diffractive et une deuxième structure en relief formant un ensemble de micromiroirs ; b) imprimer la première structure en relief formant une structure diffractive d'une encre d'impression à base de pigments métalliques en formes de plaquettes qui sont de nature telle qu'ils s'orientent spatialement le long de la structure en relief de la couche de vernis de gaufrage formant ainsi une couche réfléchissante ; c) appliquer par impression une encre lavable soluble d'une manière telle que les zones de la structure en relief formant une structure diffractive et de la deuxième structure en relief formant un ensemble de micromiroirs forment des évidements dans l'encre lavable appliquée ; d) appliquer sur toute la surface un élément à couche mince coloré, puis retirer par lavage l'encre lavable de sorte que l'élément à couche mince coloré reste sous une forme spatialement orientée le long de la structure en relief respective dans les zones de la première structure en relief formant une structure diffractive et de la deuxième structure en relief formant un ensemble de micromiroirs ; e) appliquer une couche de colle.
