Definitions
- the invention relates generally to watermarking paper and drainage screens for the production thereof.
- the invention relates to a security paper web with a plurality of individual blanks which are arranged in a grid-like manner “ along a longitudinal direction and a transverse direction of the security paper web, the security paper web being provided with the individual uses with watermarks, which at least in some areas are high-resolution, multi-stage Watermarks and / or water filigree marks are formed.
- the invention also relates to a drainage screen for the production of paper with watermarks, with a carrier screen with a plurality of individual usable areas which are arranged in a grid-like manner along a longitudinal direction and a transverse direction of the drainage screen and which each produce one of a plurality of individual usages of the watermark paper, whereby the drainage screen is provided with watermark reliefs with its individual useful areas, which are formed at least in partial areas as high-resolution multi-level watermark reliefs and / or as filigree watermark reliefs.
- EP 2899 314 A1 describes a drainage screen for generating watermarks with filigree dots or lines (“filigree watermark”).
- the drainage screen contains a water drawing insert with a filigree water sign relief, ie a relief that has a plurality of filigree elements in the form of point and / or line-shaped motif elements with a line width of 0.4 mm or less.
- the object of the invention is to provide a security paper web of the type mentioned at the outset with visually attractive watermarks with a high level of security against forgery.
- a corresponding drainage screen for the production of watermark paper is also to be provided.
- the watermark reliefs are formed entirely by high-resolution multi-level watermark reliefs and / or filigree water reliefs.
- the watermark reliefs are formed in the first partial areas by high-resolution, multi-level watermark reliefs and / or filigree watermark reliefs, while in second partial areas they are formed by embossed reliefs.
- the first and second sections are advantageously formed alternately along the longitudinal or transverse direction of the drainage screen and preferably adjoining one another. If the first and second partial areas are arranged at a distance, the mutual distances are preferably small in order to ensure a continuous visual impression of the watermarks generated. The distances are in particular less than half of 10 mm, preferably less than 5 mm. If the first and second partial areas are designed without a distance, they can directly adjoin one another or can also partially overlap.
- the first partial areas are arranged within the second partial areas. It is particularly advantageous to provide a transition area between the first and second sub-areas, in which the spatial resolution of the watermark relief from the high spatial resolution of the high-resolution, multi-level watermark Chenreliefs or the filigree watermark relief passes to the lower spatial resolution of the screen embossing. This enables a smooth transition to be created without visual disturbing jumps in the spatial resolution of the watermark.
- the partial areas spanning the individual usable areas contain high-resolution, multi-level watermark reliefs and / or filigree water reliefs.
- the partial areas spanning the individual useful areas can also consist of high-resolution multi-level watermark reliefs and / or filigree watermark reliefs.
- the partial areas spanning the individual usable areas span two or four individual usable areas, preferably symmetrically.
- the high-resolution, multi-level watermark reliefs and / or filigree watermark reliefs are formed in advantageous configurations by injection-molded watermark inserts, 3D-printed watermark inserts, milled watermark inserts, multi-layer perforated sheet inserts and / or perforated sheets. Even though this is currently still relatively expensive and involves a long manufacturing time, it is also basically possible to produce the entire drainage screen in 3D printing. If the dewatering sieve is a circular sieve, it can also be provided that one of the above-mentioned watermark inserts is designed to run continuously around the circular sieve.
- the watermark reliefs advantageously contain high-resolution multistage watermark reliefs, in particular high-resolution multistage watermark reliefs with elevations and depressions with sharp edges Edge width of 0.6 mm or less, preferably 0.5 mm or less, particularly preferably 0.4 mm or less.
- the watermark reliefs further advantageously contain filigree elements, in particular filigree elements with elevations and / or depressions in the form of point and / or line-shaped motif elements with a stroke width of 0.4 mm or less.
- the watermarks are registered for the individual uses and, at least in some areas, the individual uses are arranged across the security paper web.
- the watermarks are formed entirely by high-resolution, multi-level watermarks and / or filigree watermarks.
- the watermarks are formed in the first partial areas by high-resolution, multi-level watermarks and / or filigree watermarks, while in the second partial areas they are formed by embossed watermarks.
- the first and second subareas are advantageously formed alternately along the longitudinal or transverse direction of the security paper web and preferably adjoin one another. If the first and second partial areas are arranged at a distance, the mutual distances are preferably small in order to provide a continuous visual impression of the watermarks.
- the distances are in particular below 10 mm, preferably below 5 mm.
- the first and second sections are without Formed at a distance, they can connect directly to each other or overlap partially.
- the first partial areas are arranged within the second partial areas. It is particularly advantageous to provide a transition area between the first and second partial areas, in which the spatial resolution of the watermark changes from the high spatial resolution of the high-resolution multi-level watermark or the filigree watermark to the lower spatial resolution of the embossed watermark. This enables a smooth transition to be created without visual disturbing jumps in the spatial resolution of the watermarks.
- the partial areas spanning the individual uses contain high-resolution, multi-level watermarks and / or filigree watermarks.
- the sub-areas spanning the individual uses can also consist of multi-level watermarks and / or filigree watermarks.
- the partial areas spanning the individual areas span two or four individual areas, preferably overlap symmetrically.
- the watermarks advantageously contain high-resolution multistage watermarks, in particular high-resolution multistage watermarks with sharp edges with an edge width of 0.6 mm or less, preferably 0.5 mm or less, particularly preferably 0.4 mm or less.
- the watermarks furthermore advantageously contain filigree watermarks, in particular filigree watermarks in the form of point and / or line-shaped motif components with a stroke width of 0.4 mm or less.
- watermark reliefs of the drainage screen can be combined with other known watermark types, such as E types.
- the watermark motifs represented by the first or second sub-areas are fundamentally independent of one another, but can also be related to one another, complement one another or partially represent the same information.
- the watermark motifs can also be related to other motifs generated by imaging processes such as laser printing, letterpress printing, letterpress printing, flat or digital printing, embossing or micro-optics.
- the Add the motifs mentioned to a new motif or repeat a motif This also applies to motif combinations with motifs of inserted or applied film elements, such as security strips, security threads or applied patches.

- the second partial areas 46 are formed by screen embossing of the carrier screen 32 and produce the low-resolution screen embossing water characters 16 from FIG. 4.
- High and low resolution watermark reliefs or watermarks can also merge smoothly in a transition area.
- the first partial areas 44 can also be arranged on a dewatering screen 30 within the second partial areas 46 (corresponding to FIG. 5 or 6) and thereby with a transition area 50 for a smooth transition from the high-resolution partial area 44 of the FIG Watermark reliefs for the low-resolution partial area 46 of the watermark relief.
- the high spatial resolution possible there is used only in the inner surface area 44.
- the spatial Resolution is reduced and adapted to the lower spatial resolution of screen embossing 46, so that a smooth transition arises in the generated watermark without visual disturbing jumps in the spatial resolution.
- Such a transition region can also be used in the case of first and second partial regions which adjoin one another in one direction, as are illustrated, for example, in FIGS. 7 and 8.
- a transition area 50 is provided between a first partial area 44 with a watermark relief of high spatial resolution and a second partial area 46 with an embossed watermark relief with lower spatial resolution, in which the spatial resolution depends on the high value of the Subarea 44 changes to the lower value of subarea 46, so that there is a smooth transition in the generated watermark without visual disruptive jumps in spatial resolution.
- the transition region 50 is also advantageously formed together with the high-resolution partial region 44 in a watermark insert 52.
- the motif provided for the transition area 50 can be reduced to a desired spatial resolution, for example by soft focus or by low-pass filtering of the image information.
