Definitions

  • the invention relates to an intaglio printing plate which consists of brass, steel, copper or an alloy with brass and/or steel and/or copper and has an abrasion-reducing layer arranged on its surface facing a substrate to be printed.
  • the invention further relates to a method for producing such an intaglio printing plate.
  • the intaglio printing process is usually used. It is characterized by the fact that linear or punctiform indentations are introduced into an intaglio printing plate, which are partially or completely filled with ink.
  • a substrate such as paper
  • a substrate is pressed into the depressions of the intaglio printing plate with high pressure, so that the ink is transferred to the substrate and the substrate is deformed.
  • the intaglio printing plates used Due to the high line pressure, the permanent wiping process and the abrasive components in the substrate and ink in the intaglio printing process, the intaglio printing plates used must be provided with an abrasion-reducing layer that enables a sufficient service life of around 1,000,000 cycles.
  • a chromium layer as an abrasion-reducing layer to the surface of an intaglio printing plate, which can be deposited either galvanically or in the gas phase (physical vapor deposition—PVD).
  • PVD physical vapor deposition
  • EP 0906193 A1 and EP 2039529 A2 It is known to introduce the depressions to be printed or embossed directly into the surface of an intaglio printing plate by means of a processing module.
  • the processing module is a mechanical milling module for mechanical engraving or a laser module for laser engraving or a scoring module for scoring or turning.
  • This intaglio printing plate is produced without galvanic molding from a master.
  • nickel is not suitable as a material for these intaglio printing plates, so they consist of brass, steel, copper or an alloy with brass and/or steel and/or copper. In the case of brass, steel, copper or an alloy with brass and/or steel and/or copper, there is a sufficiently high removal rate while at the same time being harmless to health.
  • the adhesion of a layer of chromium on a workpiece made of brass is not sufficient and that the chromium layer detaches from the brass at an early stage.
  • the layer thickness of the chrome layer plays a subordinate role here.
  • the layer applied in the galvanic process with a layer thickness of approx. 4 ⁇ m to 6 ⁇ m is thicker than the layer vapor-deposited by means of PVD with a layer thickness of approx. 1 ⁇ m to 2 ⁇ m, but both detach.
  • the object of the invention is to improve the service life of intaglio printing plates which are provided with a wear-reducing layer and are made of brass, steel, copper or an alloy with brass and/or steel and/or copper.
  • an adhesion-promoting layer is arranged between the surface of the intaglio printing plate made of brass, steel, copper or an alloy with brass and/or steel and/or copper and the abrasion-reducing layer.
  • an intaglio printing plate which consists of brass, steel, copper or an alloy with brass and/or steel and/or copper, then onto the surface of the intaglio printing plate facing a substrate to be printed an adhesion-promoting layer is applied and then an abrasion-reducing layer is applied to the adhesion-promoting layer.
  • this adhesion-promoting layer should be kept as small as possible; the thickness is preferably 0.05 ⁇ m to 5 ⁇ m. An even, homogeneous wetting of the surface of the intaglio printing plate with the adhesion-promoting layer must be ensured.
  • the adhesion promoter layer can be applied to the intaglio printing plate either chemically, electrolytically or with a PVD process, or with a dipping or spraying process. After this, the abrasion-reducing layer is then applied to the adhesion promoter layer, preferably galvanically or using a PVD process.
  • the intaglio printing plate, the abrasion-reducing layer and the adhesion-promoting layer have different metals.
  • the intaglio printing plate has an electrochemically nobler metal than the metal of the abrasion-reducing layer.
  • the adhesion promoting layer has a metal whose electrochemical potential lies between the electrochemical potential of the metal of the intaglio printing plate and the electrochemical potential of the metal of the abrasion-reducing layer. The large electrochemical potential difference between the metal of the intaglio printing plate and the metal of the abrasion-reducing layer results in reduced adhesion between the intaglio printing plate and the abrasion-reducing layer.
  • the electrochemical potential of the metal of the adhesion promoting layer lies between the electrochemical potential of the metal of the intaglio printing plate and the electrochemical potential of the metal the abrasion-reducing layer. According to current opinion, this gradation of the difference in the electrochemical potential ultimately leads to an improvement in the adhesion of the abrasion-reducing layer to the intaglio printing plate.
  • the wear-reducing layer consists of chromium.
  • the adhesion promoting layer particularly preferably consists of nickel, copper or an alloy with nickel and/or copper.
  • nickel is preferably used in the case of an intaglio printing plate made of brass.
  • multi-layer systems such as, for example, copper and nickel are preferably used in order to generate a graded electrochemical potential difference between the intaglio printing plate and the wear-reducing layer.
  • the adhesion-promoting layer consists of a zinc phosphate treatment which brings about a chemical activation of the intaglio printing plate or the intaglio printing cylinder.
  • the surface of an intaglio printing plate has indentations to be printed or embossed, with the indentations to be printed or embossed being introduced directly into the surface of an intaglio printing plate by means of a processing module before the adhesion-promoting layer and the abrasion-reducing layer are applied to the intaglio printing plate.
  • the processing module is in particular a mechanical milling module for mechanical engraving or a laser module for laser engraving or a scoring module for scoring or turning.
  • the intaglio printing plate is particularly preferred already before the introduction of the indentations to be printed or embossed, it is bent or designed in the form of a roller, so that it can be clamped directly onto an intaglio printing cylinder or already forms one.
  • the intaglio printing plate according to the invention consists of brass, steel, copper or an alloy with brass and/or steel and/or copper.
  • the intaglio printing plate preferably consists essentially or for the most part of the materials mentioned, wherein further materials such as carbon can be added to a small extent to the materials mentioned in order to influence or improve the mechanical properties of the intaglio printing plate.
  • a particular advantage of the invention is that the improved adhesion of the abrasion-reducing layer on the intaglio printing plate leads to an increase in the service life of intaglio printing plates provided with an abrasion-reducing layer made of brass, steel or copper or an alloy with brass and/or steel and/or copper.
  • Documents of value that can be printed with an intaglio printing plate according to the invention are, in particular, banknotes, stocks, bonds, certificates, vouchers, checks, high-quality admission tickets, but also other papers at risk of forgery, such as passports and other identification documents, and cards, such as credit or debit cards, whose card body has at least one layer of security paper, and also product security elements such as labels, seals, packaging, folding boxes, package inserts and the like.
  • the simplified term document of value includes all of the above materials, documents and product security means.
  • the substrate to be printed in such documents of value particularly preferably consists of paper made from cotton fibers, as is the case, for example used for banknotes, or of other natural fibers, or of synthetic fibers, or of a mixture of natural and synthetic fibers, or of at least one plastic film.
  • the substrate preferably consists of a combination of at least two different substrates arranged one above the other and connected to one another, a so-called hybrid.
  • the substrate consists, for example, of a combination of plastic film-paper-plastic film, ie a substrate made of paper is covered on each of its two sides by a plastic film, or of a combination of paper-plastic film-paper, ie a substrate made of a plastic film is covered on each of its covered with paper on both sides.
  • the advantages of the invention are explained on the basis of the following exemplary embodiment and the supplementary figures.
  • the exemplary embodiment represents a preferred embodiment to which, however, the invention is not intended to be limited in any way.
  • the illustrations in the figures are highly schematic for better understanding and do not reflect the real situation.
  • the proportions shown in the figures do not correspond to the conditions present in reality and are used solely to improve clarity.
  • the embodiment described in the following exemplary embodiment is reduced to the essential core information for the sake of better comprehensibility. In practical implementation much more complex embodiments can be used.
  • Figures 1 and 2 show schematically an intaglio printing plate 1, which consists of brass, steel, copper or an alloy with brass and/or steel and/or copper and on whose surface, which faces a substrate to be printed, an abrasion-reducing layer 2, also chromium, is arranged. Between the surface of the intaglio printing plate 1 and the abrasion-reducing layer 2 there is an adhesion-promoting layer 3 made of nickel, copper or an alloy with nickel and/or copper or made of a zinc phosphate coating. The thickness of the adhesion-promoting layer is 0.05 ⁇ m to 5 ⁇ m.
