[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  The present invention is used for printing slips and the like that require collation after separation, such as an order form and an order confirmation.Printing paper setAnd a manufacturing method thereof.
[0002]
[Prior art]
  For example, a plurality of slips having the same contents may be required, such as an order form and an order confirmation, a bill receipt and a bill receipt receipt. This type of slip is printed on a sheet of paper with a perforation at the planned separation position by a laser printer or the like, and then manually printed so as to straddle the perforation. Ensuring identity is done. However, when there are a large number of this type of slips, the operation of pressing the mark is slightly troublesome, and as a result, the efficiency of office processing is reduced. In order to eliminate such inconvenience, conventionally, for example, a printer (see, for example, Patent Document 1) or a slip printing system (for example, Patent Document 2) having a function of printing a tally image at the same time when printing slip contents. (See, for example, Patent Document 3) and an image forming apparatus (see, for example, Patent Document 4).

[Problems to be solved by the invention]
  According to the above-mentioned proposal, it is possible to save a lot of time and effort for engraving and printing, but it is necessary to introduce a dedicated printer or system having the above functions, and a conventional general-purpose printer can be used as it is. There was a difficulty that new capital investment was necessary because it was not possible.
[0005]
  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described background, and improves the reliability that a plurality of separated slips are printed at the same time while using a conventional printer device as it is. Separation and verification printing paper used as paper for printing slips that can be used separatelysetIs intended to provide.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
  This invention changes from the conventional proposal, that is, the idea of how to form a tally image at the scheduled separation position when printing slips by devising the printer side, to the idea of devising the printing paper itself. Thus, a ground pattern that can be separated and collated in advance is provided on the printing paper itself.
[0007]
  That is, separation verification according to the present invention is possible.In the printing paper set, a plurality of printing papers that can be separated and collated on the assumption that they are separated along the scheduled separation position constitute a lot unit,
Each of the printing sheets has characters, figures, symbols, patterns, colors or colors on at least one side thereof. At least one separation verification printing element made of a combination of these is provided as a ground pattern,
The at least one separation verification printing element is arranged in such a manner that continuity is visually or conceptually recognized from the scheduled separation position; and
In the lot unit, the separation collating printing element has a different form or arrangement for each printing paper, and includes a plurality of printing papers.It is characterized by this.
[0008]
  As described above, this printing paper is provided with at least one separation verification printing element as a ground pattern on at least one side of the printing paper, and the printing element is visually or conceptually continuous from the scheduled separation position. It is arranged in a recognized manner. In other words, since the printing paper itself in the state before printing the original print contents such as the order form / order confirmation can already be separated and collated, the slips are printed on the paper as usual with the conventional printer. With this, it is possible to perform separation verification without imprinting a tally. Therefore, while using a conventional printer as it is without preparing a new dedicated printer, it is possible to reliably obtain the reliability that a plurality of separated individual slips are printed at the same time at low cost. it can. In addition, since the separation verification printing element is provided as a ground pattern, the original print contents can be visually recognized without any trouble, and forgery such as falsification of the print contents can be effectively prevented. It becomes possible.Further, the form or arrangement of the ground pattern composed of the separation verification printing elements is different for each printing paper within the lot unit. Therefore, it is practically extremely difficult to obtain the same background pattern paper as each printing paper performs the above-described separation / collation function, so that counterfeiting can be effectively prevented.In this specification, “ground pattern” means various patterns formed in advance on the paper itself as a base, separately from the print contents to be originally printed.
[0009]
  It is desirable to form easy-to-break parts such as perforations along the planned separation position. In this case, it can be easily separated without using a cutting tool such as a scissors or a cutter. Alternatively, a cut line may be printed instead.
[0010]
  A plurality of separation verification printing elements may be repeatedly arranged at predetermined intervals over the entire back surface of the printing paper. By providing a separation verification printing element on the back side of the printing paper, original printing on the front side can be performed without any trouble, and at first glance there may be no separation verification function such as tally. Although it can be seen, it can be surely provided with the same function.
[0011]
  A plurality of separation verification printing elements may be arranged along the length direction on the scheduled separation position. In this case, the separation verification accuracy is improved because a plurality of separation verification printing elements serve as a tally when separating paper.
[0012]
  The plurality of separation verification printing elements may be arranged symmetrically with respect to the scheduled separation position. In this case, the collating operation can be performed by superposing the separated paper sheets in a state where the separation edge portions coincide with each other and seeing them through.
[0013]
  The print element for separation verification includes, for example, a combination of characters having a predetermined meaning such as a company name and a slogan, or a mathematical expression such as, for example, 123456789 + 1234 × 4321 = 12888903, and intersects the planned separation position. You may make it provide. In this case, since the combination of characters or the mathematical expression is conceptually continuous with the scheduled separation position as a boundary, the separation / collation function can be achieved. In addition, since it has ideal continuity, when some of these separation verification print elements are not located on the planned separation position, in other words, there is no separation verification print element portion corresponding to the tally. Even if it exists, the separation verification function can be fulfilled.
[0014]
  The separation verification print element may be composed of a watermark. In this case, forgery can be more effectively prevented.
[0015]
  The printing paper may be one in which an adhesive layer is formed on the back surface and a release paper is attached via the adhesive layer. In this case, as a collable label
Can be used.
[0016]
  According to the present invention, there is provided a method of manufacturing a print sheet set capable of separation and collation, wherein the arrangement of the ground pattern constituted by the above-described separation and collation printing elements is different from each other for each print sheet within a lot unit. A step of continuously printing a ground pattern including the separation verification printing element by using a printing drum while rewinding the base paper wound up in a roll, and the paper on which the ground pattern is printed. A step of forming perforations for separation along a predetermined scheduled separation position, and a paper on which the ground pattern is printed and on which the perforations for separation are formed is a peripheral length of the printing drum or a plurality thereof. And a step of cutting continuously for each different length. According to this manufacturing method, while using a conventional printing apparatus as it is, it is possible to obtain printing paper in which all the arrangements of the ground patterns are different from each other within the lot unit. Therefore, the manufacturing cost is not significantly increased.
[0017]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described based on illustrated embodiments. FIGS. 1 and 2 show an embodiment in which the present invention is applied to a document (1) in which an order form (2) and an order confirmation (3) are connected in a state where they can be separated into a pair.
[0018]
  In the above order form (2) and order confirmation form (3), the same contents are printed except for bibliographic items such as title and address, and the orderer and the contractor keep the other, respectively. Is. The document (1) according to this embodiment has an A3 size, that is, a size of 420 mm long × 297 mm wide, and has a perforation (4) for separating it vertically at the planned separation position in the middle in the vertical direction. Is formed. Thus, it is divided into two parts up and down along the perforation (4) for use.
[0019]
  Thus, this type of separation-type document has a practice of imprinting a tamper along the perforation (4) before separation in order to prevent fraudulent creation of a forged document whose contents have been altered after separation. That is, it is determined by this mark whether or not the document is a genuine document created simultaneously by matching the separated documents. However, the document (1) according to this embodiment uses a printing paper (P) on which a map as shown in FIG. 2 is printed on the back side of the paper in advance, and the printing paper (P) has a front side shown in FIG. The contents shown in the above are printed using a normal printer (laser printer or the like).
[0020]
  As shown in FIG. 2, the ground pattern preliminarily printed on the printing paper (P) of the order document (1) is a figure (10) in which a logo is designed in a flower-shaped circular frame with a predetermined interval in the vertical and horizontal directions. Are arranged. These figures (10) are formed so as to gradually increase from the left side to the right side of the sheet, and these figure rows are formed in a total of seven stages in the vertical direction. Note that only half of the uppermost and lowermost figures (10) are printed. Moreover, the some figure (10) located in a middle step is printed on the perforation (4) in the aspect over this. The ground pattern is line-symmetric with respect to the perforation (4). Therefore, after separating the order document (1) along the perforation (4), it is matched and matched, or, further, the perforation (4) is overlapped and the watermark is overlapped. By looking, it can be determined whether or not both are genuine documents separated by the perforation (4). In other words, the figure (10) arranged along the perforation (4) in the middle stage has the same separation / collation function as the tally, and the other figure (10) also has the separation / collation function at the same time. All of these constitute the separation verification printing element of the present invention.
[0021]
  As described above, in the printing paper (P) of this embodiment, the ground pattern composed of the separation verification printing elements is preliminarily printed only on the back side thereof, so printing on the surface of the printing paper should be performed without any trouble. Can do. In addition, since a separation verification printing element is provided on the back side, separation verification can be performed with certainty even though it looks like a simple print sheet that does not have a separation verification function, so that forgery can be easily identified. .
[0022]
  Next, a print sheet set capable of separation and collation according to the present invention will be described.
[0023]
  In this embodiment, it is assumed that the arrangement of the separation verification printing elements is different for each printing paper (P) within a lot unit composed of, for example, thousands of the above-described separation verification possible printing paper (P). Yes. More specifically, in the printing paper (P) having the ground pattern shown in FIG. 2, the entire ground pattern is shifted little by little along the left-right direction for each sheet, so that all the ground patterns within the lot unit. It becomes a printing paper (P) in which the position of the pattern is different, and it is possible to provide a sheet having a different ground pattern on virtually every sheet. In this way, when the lot unit is composed of several thousand sheets, it becomes practically impossible to obtain a sheet having the same background pattern, so that the effect of preventing forgery can be further improved. The number of sheets constituting the lot unit, and hence the printing sheet set is not necessarily limited, but the counterfeit prevention effect can be improved as much as possible.
[0024]
  Note that only the method of shifting only the position of the same ground pattern described above has a limit on the number of sheets that can be manufactured in lot units. Further increase in the number of sheets can be easily achieved by changing the color of the printing ink for each lot. In this way, by changing the color of the printing ink little by little for each lot, it is possible to produce virtually unlimited number of printing papers with different ground patterns.
[0025]
  Hereinafter, a specific method for obtaining sheets with different ground pattern positions in a lot unit of about several thousand sheets per lot will be described.
[0026]
  FIG. 5 shows an outline of a printing machine unit for printing a ground pattern on a printing paper, and the above-mentioned ground pattern is printed on a roll paper by using a general-purpose offset printing apparatus as it is. This printing apparatus has an unwind unit, a printing unit, a processing unit, and a rewind unit in order from the left end in FIG. In the unwind unit, a base paper (20) having a width of about 431.8 mm and a total length of 3000 m wound in a roll shape is sequentially rewound. The printing unit is provided with a relief printing roll (21) and an offset printing roll (22). In this embodiment, the ground pattern is printed using only the offset printing roll (22). The processing unit is provided with a marginal punch punching roll (23), a horizontal perforation forming roll (24), and a vertical perforation forming roll (25). In this embodiment, the marginal punch forming roll (23) and the horizontal perforation forming roll (24) are not used, but only the vertical perforation forming roll (25) is used, and the entire length is formed at the center in the width direction of the sheet. A perforation (4) is formed. The rewind unit is provided with a take-up roll (26), and a sheet on which a predetermined ground pattern is printed and a perforation (4) is formed is taken up sequentially.
[0027]
  As described above, the configuration of the printing press unit, the printing method, and the like are the same as in the past. In this embodiment, a 36-inch drum is used for the offset printing roll (22). As shown in FIG. 6, a printing plate making corresponding to the ground pattern shown in FIG. 2 is formed on the peripheral surface, and each figure (10) forming the ground pattern is gradually increased in the circumferential direction. Has been. Thus, as shown in FIG. 6, the figure (10) having gradually different sizes along the length direction of the paper is repeatedly printed every time the drum (22) rotates once. .
[0028]
  Next, after the predetermined ground pattern is printed in this way and the perforation (4) is formed, the paper (P) wound around the winding drum 26 of the rewind unit is rewound, and the cutting machine is rewound. (Not shown), both ends in the width direction are cut and aligned along the Y1-Y1 line and the Y2-Y2 line shown in FIG. 6 so that the width dimension is 420 mm corresponding to the vertical dimension of the A3 size. 6 are sequentially cut along the line XX shown in FIG. As a result, as shown in FIG. 2, the whole is A3 size and about 9000 sheets of printing paper having a ground pattern (10) (separated perforation (4) formed in the middle in the longitudinal direction) P), which are different from each other in the position of the background pattern, are sequentially obtained.
[0029]
  Thus, in this embodiment, about 9000 sheets are made into lot units, and the layout of the ground pattern is slightly different. However, if the color of the printing ink is changed for each lot, it is almost infinite, or mutually in the same sales. It is possible to provide all different sets of printing paper.
[0030]
  The number of sheets constituting the printing sheet set can be further increased by using a printing drum of 36 inches or more. In this embodiment, since the conventional printing apparatus is used as it is and only cutting is devised, there is no inconvenience of an increase in printing cost, and a practical ground pattern that can be separated and verified is ensured. It has the advantage of being able to be secured. Of course, instead of the background pattern slightly different in this way, it is possible to print a background pattern in which the separation verification printing elements themselves are different for each sheet by using a known computer-controlled printing technique.
[0031]
  FIG. 3 shows another embodiment and is a rear view of the printing paper corresponding to FIG. In this embodiment, a ground pattern composed of a diagram (11) (separation verification printing element 10) such as a jigsaw puzzle is formed on the entire back surface of the paper (P). In the figure, (4) is a perforation. This ground pattern is also continuous in a manner straddling the perforation (4), and is formed symmetrically with respect to the perforation (4). Also on the printing paper (P) according to this embodiment, separation and collation can be performed in the same manner as in the previous embodiment. Other configurations and the manufacturing method thereof are the same as those of the first embodiment.
[0032]
  FIG. 4 shows still another embodiment and is a rear view of the printing paper corresponding to FIG. In this embodiment, the mathematical formula is printed at the right end portion in a manner orthogonal to the perforation (4). This mathematical expression is printed in a manner straddling the perforation (4) and completed with upper and lower sheets. Accordingly, it is possible to confirm the continuity of the vertically separated sheets by judging whether or not the mathematical formula is established by matching the mutually separated sheets. In this embodiment, the numbers and symbols constituting the mathematical formula are not separated by the perforation (4). In other words, the separation / collation is not performed visually as in the embodiments of FIGS. 2 and 3, but the separation / collation is performed conceptually. Therefore, a combination of characters having a certain meaning or the like may be used instead of the mathematical expression. Other configurations and the manufacturing method thereof are the same as those of the first embodiment.
[0033]
  FIG. 7 shows an embodiment in which the printing paper according to the present invention is applied to a label. For example, this label can be separated and collated using labels that indicate the date of manufacture, expiration date, food additives, etc. that are affixed on food packaging, or slips that are affixed on courier packaging. Is preferably used as a label in the case where the price is required (cash on delivery and its receipt, etc.).
[0034]
  In the label according to this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, the printing paper (P) is divided into three (P1) (P2) (P3) at two cuts (scheduled separation positions) (14) (14). The adhesive layer (13) is formed on the back surface of the paper, and the release paper (15) is attached via the adhesive layer. On the front side of the printing paper (P), the separation collating printing element (10) as described in the above-described embodiment is thinly printed in advance, thereby enabling collation after separation. Thus, in this label, each sheet (P1) (P2) (P3) is peeled off from the release paper (15) for use. Since each sheet has an adhesive layer (13) on its back surface, it can be attached to, for example, a packaging container or a storage ledger.
[0035]
  In any of the above embodiments, the ground pattern is formed only on one side of the paper. However, in the present invention, the ground pattern may be formed on both the front and back surfaces. In addition, when forming a ground pattern on the surface side, it is necessary to make it a thin color so as not to hinder the visual recognition of characters printed later. The ground pattern may be a so-called watermark. The material of the paper itself is not limited, and it may be made of not only ordinary paper but also, for example, thermal paper, pressure-sensitive paper, synthetic resin sheet or film, or a laminate thereof.
[0036]
  Further, in the first embodiment, the whole is A3 size and is divided into the A4 size by dividing it vertically into two. However, in the present invention, the paper size, the number of divisions, the division position, etc. are particularly limited. Is not to be done. For example, the A4 size may be divided into three parts vertically, the B5 size may be divided into four parts vertically, horizontally, or a non-standard size sheet may be divided as necessary. Moreover, although the combination of the order form and order contract used in the construction industry was illustrated, of course, it is not limited to this.
[0037]
  In the case of two divisions, an order form / purchase order, a bill receipt / billing receipt slip, a purchase order / order receipt, a contract / record, a quotation / book, etc. can be exemplified. In the case of 3 or 4 splits, invoice / invoice / receipt, invoice / invoice / invoice, invoice / invoice / invoice / invoice, invoice / invoice / invoice / An invoice or the like can be exemplified.
[0038]
  In addition, the application field is not particularly limited, and the present invention can be applied to all fields in the industry that issue documents using a printer. Specifically, in the food industry, when storing the original seal of the manufacturing date, expiry date, food additive, etc. with a label printer, when storing the original drug instructions for pharmacies, in the shipping industry When it is necessary to ensure the consistency of Takkyubin slips (price exchange and receipts) with a laser printer, when securing an applicant copy of application documents at a government office, when content certification forms are required in relation to laws and regulations, etc. Can be illustrated.
[0039]
  In each of the above-described embodiments, all the contents including the bibliographic items to be printed on the paper are printed by the printer. For example, a title such as an order form or an order confirmation, an issuer's name, an address Bibliographic items such as those that are common to each sheet may be printed in advance, and only other items such as unit price and quantity may be printed by the printer.
[0040]
【The invention's effect】
  Printing paper capable of separation and collation according to the present inventionsetAs described above, at least one separation collating printing element is provided as a ground pattern on at least one side of the printing paper, and the printing element is visually or conceptually recognized continuity from the scheduled separation position. It is what is arranged in. In other words, since the printing paper itself can be separated and collated, it is possible to perform separation and collation without pressing a tally just by printing the contents of the slips on the paper with a conventional printer as usual. Therefore, while using a conventional printer as it is without preparing a new dedicated printer, it is possible to reliably improve the reliability that a plurality of separated individual slips are printed at the same time at low cost. it can. In addition, since the separation verification printing element is provided as a ground pattern, the original printing can be performed without any trouble, and the counterfeiting such as falsification of numerical values and contents can be made difficult.
[0041]
  Further, in the printing paper set, a plurality of printing papers that can be separated and collated constitute a lot unit, and the form or arrangement of separation collating printing elements is different for each printing paper in the lot unit. It has been made. That is, the form or arrangement of the ground pattern composed of the separation verification printing elements is different for each printing paper within the lot unit. Accordingly, it is practically extremely difficult to obtain the same background pattern paper as well as each printing paper performing the above-described separation / collation function, so that counterfeiting can be effectively prevented.
[0042]
  When an easy-to-break part such as a perforation is formed along the planned separation position, it can be easily separated without using a cutting tool such as a scissors or a cutter. Further, in the case where the cut line is printed, it is possible to achieve an expected separation / collation function by cutting along the cut line.
[0043]
  When a plurality of separation verification printing elements are repeatedly arranged at predetermined intervals over the entire back surface of the printing paper, original printing on the front side can be performed without any trouble. Needless to say, it may seem that there is no separation / collation function such as tally, but the function can be surely provided.
[0044]
  When a plurality of separation verification printing elements are arranged along the length direction on the planned separation position, the separation verification accuracy is achieved because the plurality of separation verification printing elements serve as a tally when separating paper. Will improve.
[0045]
  When a plurality of the separation verification printing elements are arranged symmetrically with respect to the scheduled separation position, the separated paper sheets are overlapped and viewed with the separation edges aligned. Thus, verification can be performed.
[0046]
  When the separation verification printing element is composed of a combination of characters or a mathematical expression having a predetermined meaning and is provided in a manner that intersects the planned separation position, the combination of characters with the planned separation position as a boundary Alternatively, since the mathematical formulas are conceptually continuous, a separation / collation function can be achieved. In addition, since it has ideal continuity, when some of these separation verification print elements are not located on the planned separation position, in other words, there is no separation verification print element portion corresponding to the tally. Even if it exists, the separation verification function can be fulfilled.
[0047]
  When the separation verification print element is a watermark pattern, forgery can be more effectively prevented.
[0048]
  When the printing paper has an adhesive layer formed on the back surface and a release paper is pasted through the adhesive layer, it can be used as a collable label.
[0049]
  According to the method for manufacturing a print sheet set capable of separation and collation according to the present invention, the above-described print sheet set can be manufactured very easily and inexpensively.
