Definitions
- the present invention relates to a value and / or security document with a halftone or duotone image comprising a grid comprising a multiplicity of identically or similarly shaped grid elements.
- the invention further relates to a method for producing a value and / or security document, in which a halftone or duotone image comprising a grid is printed.
- Raster are used in printing technology to represent images, because in printing presses for technical reasons, only a certain, limited selection of colors available. These colors can only be printed in pure form. Thus, most printing processes can not produce true halftones per se. At one point either a color point can be printed or not. To represent different shades of gray and colors, rasters are therefore used, with the help of different hues, saturations or different brightnesses can be displayed in an image. To obtain any desired color, for example, very fine printing dots in primary colors (usually cyan, magenta, yellow and black) are printed side by side in order to achieve the desired resulting color impression.
- primary colors usually cyan, magenta, yellow and black
- an amplitude-modulated dot matrix is used today to represent images, in which an image area is subdivided into a fixed number of raster cells (for example 60 raster with 60 ⁇ 60 cells per square centimeter). The variation of the color impression in such a raster takes place via the size of a point in this cell (the amplitude, see FIG. 4).
- the object of the present invention is thus to provide a value and / or security document having a grid with a higher degree of security against counterfeiting. Furthermore, the object of the present invention is to provide a simple method for producing a value and / or security document with such a grid.
- the security and / or security document according to the invention has a halftone or duotone image with a grid in which each raster element of the plurality of identically or similarly shaped raster elements has an inner surface and a different outer surface, the outer surface partially or completely surrounding the inner surface and in which
- the inner surface of the raster element has no color or a visible second color, which is different in brightness, hue and / or saturation from the first color of the outer surface.
- raster elements that are shaped so that they can be superimposed without scaling congruent.
- such raster elements are referred to, in which at least one outline of inner or outer surface of a first raster element of two identically or similarly shaped raster elements can be imaged by scaling to the corresponding outline of the second identically or similarly shaped raster element. That is, the shapes of such (similar) raster elements are not different only in the area of the inner surface and / or the outer surface However, in the nature of the geometric shape of the inner and outer surface itself, ie in the circular ring shape, the circular shape, the square shape, the square ring shape, the hexagonal ring shape, the circular ring section shape or the like.
- the advantage of the inventive solution is that through the inner surface of the grid a significant refinement of the image structure is achieved, which can only be reproduced by very high-resolution output devices that are only available in security technology. Different colors or brightnesses in a halftone or duotone image can still be displayed.
- a structured grid with an inner inner surface serves as copy protection for counterfeits with photocopier / laser printers / inkjet printers, etc.
- moires / interference patterns may possibly be generated, which would be a forgery attempt Show.
- the comparatively small inner surfaces can taper, for example, circular raster elements can no longer be represented, or fine contour lines can break away in the image represented by the raster. These effects also make imitation more difficult.
- the displayable image content is not restricted by the invention, so that a value and / or security document or a part thereof, such as a single image or security element, completely from raster elements according to the invention, which form a grid according to the invention may be constructed.
- An amplitude modulation of the raster for displaying the image content with different colors is particularly preferably achieved by changing the surface area of the outer surface and / or the surface area of the inner surface and adapting it to the respectively desired color and / or brightness tone.
- either the surface area of the inner surface or the surface area of the outer surface is particularly preferably left constant and only the surface area of the respective other surface is varied.
- the spacing of the raster elements ie, for example, the distance between the center points of adjacent raster elements, remains constant. For example, with a larger surface area of the outer surface, a darker halftone is achieved, while with a smaller surface area of the outer surface, a lighter halftone is displayed when the inner surface has no color and remains constant in its surface area.
- the raster elements as described above, are similar to each other in the geometric sense, the number of raster elements per unit area, ie their density is constant.
- the various halftones can also be represented by means of a frequency modulation in the grid, in each case by using the same raster elements whose spacing varies. For example, with a small spacing of the raster elements and thus higher density of the raster elements per unit area, a darker halftone is displayed in the image, while a brighter halftone can be achieved with a larger spacing of the raster elements and thus lower density of the raster elements per unit area.
- the outer surface of the raster element is designed as a circular ring and the inner surface is arranged as a circle arranged in the circular ring.
- the grid element has a particularly easy to implement form. In such a form of a raster element different surface areas of the inner and outer surface for an amplitude modulation realized by different diameters of the inner circle or widths of the outer circular ring.
- the outer surface of the raster element may be formed as a square or rectangular ring and the inner surface as arranged in the square or rectangular ring square or rectangle.
- the outer surface of the raster element may be formed as a pentagon, hexagon or octagon ring and the inner surface as a pentagon, hexagon or octagon arranged in the pentagonal, hexagonal or octagonal ring.
- the outer surface may be formed as an oval ring and the inner surface as arranged in the oval ring oval.
- raster elements are also referred to below as open raster elements, while closed raster elements designate the raster elements in which the outer surface completely surrounds the inner surface.
- an open grid element may be formed by a section of a circular ring or an oval ring.
- the outer surface has an opening in the region in which the outer surface does not enclose the inner surface.
- the angle of the opening which can be measured from a center of the grid element, is preferably less than 180 °, more preferably between 120 ° and 60 °, otherwise on the one hand, the area coverage with color is too low and on the other hand, the opening angle in the print difficult to realize is.
- the inner surface also carries a color, it may also have an opening in the angular range of the opening of the outer surface.
- the opening of the outer surface preferably points in the same direction. Alternatively, alternately different opening directions tions of the raster elements are used.
- Such an open grid element can be realized analogously with other basic shapes of the grid elements (squares, rectangles, pentagons, etc.).
- the use of the above-described amplitude modulation or frequency modulation for representing different colors in the image can be carried out for open raster elements analogously to the use with closed raster elements.
- a halftone or duotone image comprises a grid as described above.
- the raster elements described above may be printed side by side in cells of the image.
- Such a picture has a higher security against counterfeiting and can therefore serve as security element for the value and / or security document according to the invention such as banknote, passport, ID card, chip card, ticket, check or the like. It can be used advantageously in particular in safety vacuum.
- a halftone or duotone image is used as security in accordance with the invention.
- the inner surface of the raster element has no color or a second color which is different in brightness, hue and / or saturation from the first color of the outer surface.
- the raster elements are preferably arranged so that an image (halftone or duotone image) is represented by the totality of all raster elements.
- the surface area of the outer surface and / or the surface area of the inner surface are varied according to the desired color, with the raster elements having the same spacing.
- a frequency modulation with the grid according to the invention can be realized by the distance between the same raster elements is varied with the inventive form described above depending on the desired color.
- the spacing of the raster elements can be determined, for example, based on the distance between the center points of the raster elements or the side edges of the raster elements. For example, distances of the center points of adjacent raster elements in the range from 370 ⁇ m to 560 ⁇ m, preferably from 400 ⁇ m to 450 ⁇ m, may lie.
- the distance between the side edges of the raster elements can be, for example, 78 to 96 ⁇ m, preferably 80 to 86 ⁇ m.
- Such rasters have a high security against counterfeiting due to the density of the raster elements and allow an appealing display of images.
- the diameter of the inner surface of the raster elements is preferably in the range of 80 ⁇ to 140 ⁇ , particularly preferably in the range of 80 ⁇ to 100 ⁇ .
- the width of the outer surface for example the ring width of the outer circular ring, is preferably in the range of 40 ⁇ to 180 ⁇ , particularly preferably in the range of 40 ⁇ to 130 ⁇ .
