Definitions

  • the invention relates to a security element for embedding in a paper-based security document, the security element having a carrier substrate which is provided with alphanumeric and/or graphic usage instructions.
  • the publication US 2014/0070525 A1 describes a security document having a substrate and a thermal imaging coating soluble in one or more solvents on at least a portion of the surface of the substrate.
  • a warning message will appear on the substrate in one Printed ink that is substantially insoluble in the one or more solvents.
  • An obscuring coating covers the warning message so that the warning message is not visible to an observer.
  • the concealing coating is soluble in the one or more solvents so that it is removed from the substrate when the document is subjected to washing with the one or more solvents to remove thermally printed images on the imaging thermal coating.
  • an optically variable security thread which has a substrate and a first and a second optically variable layer, a first color-constant layer with a color that corresponds to the color impression of the first or second optically variable Layer corresponds to a first viewing angle, a second color-constant layer, which has a color impression matching the color impression of the first or second optically variable layer at a second viewing angle, and comprises one or more material-free areas.
  • the object of the invention is to effectively protect paper-based security documents against manipulation or to make manipulation attempts easily recognizable.
  • the invention provides an improved security element for embedding in a paper-based security document.
  • the security element contains a carrier substrate which is provided with alphanumeric and/or graphic usage instructions.
  • the carrier substrate also has a tampering indicator, which is overprinted with a camouflage print that is soluble in an organic solvent and is therefore hidden.
  • the camouflage print conveniently dissolves in an organic solvent, thereby exposing the evidence of tampering.
  • Organic solvents often used by counterfeiters are, for example, polar solvents such as: B. alcohols, or non-polar solvents such as. B. Tetrachloromethane.
  • the manipulation notice is advantageously applied several times, in particular alternately with an alphanumeric and/or graphic usage notice, on the carrier substrate.
  • the manipulation notice is preferably formed by patterns, characters or a coding, in particular an alphanumeric character string (negative or positive text).
  • the manipulation notice can, for example, be formed by the words “void”, “invalid”, “invalid”, “wrong” or another indication of manipulation that has taken place.
  • the camouflage print can be formed by a homogeneous printing surface that covers the indication of tampering.
  • the camouflage print can also be formed by patterns, characters or a coding, in particular as negative or positive text, and in this case it can in particular form useful information.
  • the camouflage print and the useful information it forms dissolve and other information indicating the manipulation appears in their place with the manipulation notice. It is understood that the manipulation notice differs from the useful information.
  • the manipulation notice is advantageously designed to be solvent-resistant.
  • the useful information is also advantageously designed to be solvent-resistant, in contrast to the useful information mentioned, which may be formed by the camouflage print.
  • the useful information of the camouflage print can represent the same information as the useful information or can be related to them or supplement them to form overall information.
  • the carrier substrate of the security element preferably comprises a plastic film, in particular made of polyethylene terephthalate (PET).
  • PET polyethylene terephthalate
  • At least one printing ink that absorbs in the infrared wavelength range of electromagnetic radiation (hereinafter referred to as IR-absorbing printing ink) and at least one printing ink that is transparent in the infrared wavelength range of electromagnetic radiation (hereinafter referred to as IR-transparent printing ink) can be on the carrier substrate of the security element.
  • IR-absorbing printing ink at least one printing ink that absorbs in the infrared wavelength range of electromagnetic radiation
  • IR-transparent printing ink can be on the carrier substrate of the security element. be upset.
  • the authenticity of a security document, such as a passport paper can also be proven by checking the printing inks under IR lighting.
  • Such security features represent hidden security features, so-called “Level 2” features or hidden features.
  • the camouflage print accordingly contains at least one printing ink that absorbs in the infrared wavelength range of electromagnetic radiation and has a first reflectance value
  • the manipulation notice and/or one or more of the usage notices contain at least one printing ink that is transparent in the infrared wavelength range of electromagnetic radiation and has a second reflectance value.
  • the distance between the first and second reflectance values is advantageously at least 40%.
  • the tampering notice can contain an IR-absorbing printing ink.
  • one or more of the usage instructions can also contain an IR-absorbing printing ink.
  • Both the camouflage print and the tampering notice are advantageously formed by patterns, characters or a coding, in particular an alphanumeric character string.
  • the tampering notice is then preferably formed by patterns, characters or a coding which consists/consist of only a part of the patterns, characters or the coding of the camouflage print, for example from every second character of the camouflage print or even just a single character of the camouflage print. It therefore provides clear evidence that manipulation has taken place.
  • the patterns, characters or the components of the coding of the manipulation notice are advantageously a precise fit to the corresponding patterns, Characters or components of the coding of the camouflage print are provided, so that the indication of manipulation is hidden by the camouflage print.
  • the at least one IR-absorbing printing ink of the camouflage print and the at least one IR-transparent printing ink of the usage instructions advantageously have the same color when illuminated with visible electromagnetic radiation. If text, characters or patterns are composed of two printing colors that have the same color tone when illuminated with visible electromagnetic radiation but have different IR transparency, the printed image, when viewed under illumination with visible electromagnetic radiation, suggests that it is with a single printing color was produced. However, when illuminated with electromagnetic radiation in the infrared wavelength range, the viewer recognizes that parts of the printed image were applied with an IR-transparent printing ink.
  • the wavelength of the electromagnetic radiation in the infrared wavelength range for the IR-transparent and IR-absorbing printing inks to be tested is particularly preferably in the range from 700 nm to 1000 nm.
  • the at least one IR-absorbing printing ink advantageously has a first reflectance value of ⁇ 50% , which has at least one IR-transparent printing ink a second reflectance value of > 90%.
  • the at least one IR-transparent printing ink and the at least one IR-absorbing printing ink are particularly preferably formed by solvent-based, water-based or UV-curable printing inks or toners, which are used in gravure printing, digital printing, UV offset printing, screen printing, inkjet printing or Flexographic printing can be printed onto the carrier substrate of the security element.
  • IR-absorbing and IR-transparent printing inks are usually printed with precise registration in two work steps with intermediate drying.
  • the camouflage print is preferably done as the last printing step.
  • different printing ink systems are used. Printing inks that appear transparent when illuminated with electromagnetic radiation in the infrared wavelength range are usually colors with dyes, while IR-absorbing printing inks are usually pigment-based printing inks.
  • the authenticity of the security element can be checked by only using the IR when illuminated with electromagnetic radiation in the infrared wavelength range, for example at a wavelength between 850 nm and 940 nm -absorbing printing elements, but not the IR-transparent printing elements can be seen.
  • electromagnetic radiation in the infrared wavelength range
  • IR-transparent printing elements can be seen.
  • visible electromagnetic radiation or light with a wavelength of approximately 380 nm to approximately 750 nm when illuminated with visible electromagnetic radiation or light with a wavelength of approximately 380 nm to approximately 750 nm, however, all printing elements of the IR-transparent and IR-absorbing printing ink(s) are visible.
  • the IR transparency therefore acts as a hidden feature.
  • the security element represents in particular a security thread or a security band.
  • security threads for passport papers in the prior art are known as so-called CountryCode threads with a flag and a negative or positive text in gravure printing, UV offset or digital printing on a plastic substrate, for example made of PET. manufactured.
  • the invention also contains a paper-based security document with an at least partially embedded security element of the type described above.
  • the security element is advantageously completely embedded in the security document.
  • the security element can also only be partially embedded in the security document and be exposed in window areas on one or both opposite surfaces of the security document.
  • the camouflage print expediently dissolves when the security document is soaked in an organic solvent, thereby exposing the evidence of manipulation of the embedded security element.
  • the advantage of security elements embedded at least partially in a paper-based security document is, in particular, that a camouflage print that has been removed by the counterfeiter using solvent treatment cannot easily be replenished in the embedded security element.
  • the at least partially embedded security element is preferably a security thread.
  • the paper-based security document is in particular an ID card, a passport, a passport page or a document of value, such as a banknote, a share, a bond, a certificate, a voucher, a check, or a high-quality admission ticket.
  • FIG 1 shows a schematic representation of a passport page 10 of a passport book, not shown.
  • the passport page 10 is provided with a security thread 20 that is completely embedded in the paper on the passport page 10.
  • the security thread 20 has a carrier substrate, for example a plastic film made of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), on which alternating useful areas 22 and tampering display areas 24 are provided.
  • a carrier substrate for example a plastic film made of polyethylene terephthalate (PET)
  • PET polyethylene terephthalate

  • the tampering notices 28 are each overprinted with a camouflage print 30 that is soluble in an organic solvent, so that the tampering notices 28 are visible in FIG Fig. 2(a) hidden in the normal situation shown.
  • the camouflage prints 30 are dissolved by the solvent and the manipulation indications 28 are thereby exposed, as in Fig. 2(b) shown.
  • the usage instructions 26 and the manipulation instructions 28 themselves are printed with solvent-resistant ink and show no change when the passport page is soaked in solvent.
  • the manipulation is obvious through the exposed manipulation indications 28, so that the manipulated thread is the Fig. 2(b) cannot be used to recreate a passport book page 10.
  • the combined security of “paper + security thread” provides highly effective protection for passport book page 10 against manipulation by soaking.
  • Figure 3 shows a security thread 20 according to a further exemplary embodiment of the invention, in which useful areas 22 and tampering display areas 24 are also arranged alternately on a carrier substrate.
  • the usable areas contain, in addition to a colored imprint 26 of a country flag, also an alphanumeric imprint 32, for example in the form of the name of the country issuing the passport book.
  • a tampering notice 28 ( Fig. 3(b) ) printed.
  • the tampering notices 28 are each overprinted with a camouflage print 30 that is soluble in an organic solvent, so that the tampering notices 28 are visible in FIG Fig. 3(a) hidden in the normal situation shown.
  • the camouflage prints 30 are dissolved by the solvent and the tamper evidence 28 is thereby exposed, as shown in Fig. 3(b) shown.
  • the usage instructions 26, 32 and the manipulation instructions 28 themselves are printed with solvent-resistant ink and show no change when the passport page is soaked in solvent.
  • the manipulation is obvious due to the exposed manipulation indications 28, so that the manipulated thread is the Fig. 3(b) cannot be used to recreate a passport book page 10.
  • the camouflage print 30 is each formed by a homogeneous printing surface.
  • the camouflage print itself can also be in the form of patterns, characters or coding and in the initial state Fig. 2(a) or 2(b) form useful information. When soaking The useful information on the passport page then disappears due to the dissolution of the camouflage print and the manipulation notice 28 appears instead.
  • the useful areas 22 can, for example, contain a colored print in the form of the lettering "COUNTRY”, which is supplemented in the manipulation display areas 24 by a camouflage print in the form of the lettering "GERMAN” to form the overall information "GERMANY”.
  • the camouflage prints formed by the lettering "DEUTSCH” are dissolved by the solvent and the tampering indications in the tampering display areas 24, which in this design are formed, for example, by the letter sequence "XXX”, are thereby exposed.
  • the usage instructions and handling instructions are printed with solvent-resistant ink and do not change when soaked in solvent. The manipulation is obvious through the exposed evidence of manipulation.
