Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、株券、商品券あるいはクレジットカード等有価証券の他、商品用の封印シールやタグ類に偽造・複製の防止用として施す印刷を含めた画像形成体に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来、株券、商品券さらにはクレジットカード等有価証券類の他、商品用の封印シールやタグ類に至るまで偽造・複製による不正使用を防止するため、精巧な印刷技術による印刷等が施されているのが一般的であったが、近年の偽造・複製による不正使用の頻発に鑑み、これら精巧な印刷等に加え特殊な偽造防止策が施されるようになってきた。
【0003】
この特殊な偽造防止策として、例えばホログラムを貼付けるたり、紫外線で発色する材料や画像を施して紫外線照射で真偽判定をする方法などがあり、あるいは、金属箔層に万線方向が異なる万線状凹凸パターン群が複数集合したエンボスパターンを形成したもので、見る角度を変化させると万線状凹凸パターン群の濃淡や輝きが変化する、所謂オパール効果を有する画像体として有価証券類等に貼付けたりする方法や、さらには所定のピッチで万線状に印刷した直線と、この直線と同一ピッチの万線状のエンボスでなる凸部とを平行に形成し、この凸部を略半ピッチずらして潜像部を形成した印刷物があり、これを斜めから観察すると潜像が現れる偽造防止技術がある。
【0004】
上記万線状のエンボスでなる凸部を有する偽造防止技術について、さらに詳しく説明すると、例えば図9(a)の拡大上面図および図1(b)の拡大斜視図に示すように、所定のピッチでなる印刷万線(10)と、この印刷万線(10)と同一ピッチでなり、かつこの印刷万線(10)に対し略1/4ピッチずらした万線状のエンボスでなる万線状凸部(20)が平行に形成され、この万線状凸部(20)に対し1/2ピッチずらして潜像万線状凸部(22)が形成されている印刷物である。この印刷物を上面から見ても何も見えないが、手前から見ると、万線状凸部(20)の部分が白く(基材の色として)見え、潜像万線状凸部(22)の部分が印刷万線(10)の色で浮かび上がって見え、逆に後側から見ると、万線状凸部(20)の部分が印刷万線(10)の色で見え、潜像万線状凸部(22)の部分が白く浮かび上がって見えるようにした偽造防止技術がある。
刷物がある(例えば、特許文献1参照。)。

【0006】
以上いずれの方法も開発当時は、カラーコピー機やスキャナー等を駆使して複写物を作製しても、その複製は困難で偽造防止策として有効な技術であった。
【0007】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、最近では上記のホログラム技術や紫外線照射で真偽判定する技術は一般化されてきて、偽造・複製が比較的容易なものとなってきた。また、上記のオパール効果を利用した技術においても比較的容易に万線形状を読み取ることができ、この技術と機械があれば偽造・複製が容易なものとなってきた。さらにまた、上記の万線状のエンボスでなる凸部を有する偽造防止技術を利用した方法は、潜像部のパターン自体は比較的単純であるため、その偽造防止等に気付き、それなりの知見と技術のある者であれば容易に作製可能なものであり、偽造防止という点では問題のあるものであった。さらにまた潜像部が一つのパターンのみであるためデザイン性に制限があるという問題もあった。
【0008】
本発明は、かかる従来技術の問題点を解決するものであり、その課題とするところは、有価証券類等に偽造防止策として施す画像形成体、特に万線状のエンボスでなる凸部を有する偽造防止技術を利用した画像形成体において、複製や偽造が困難で、かつデザイン性に自由度のある潜像を有する画像形成体を提供することにある。
【0009】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明に於いて上記課題を達成するために、まず請求項1の発明では、基材の片面に、エンボスされた万線状の直線でなる凸部と、該凸部と同一ピッチで、かつ平行に、略1/4ピッチずらして少なくとも前記基材と異なる1色で印刷されている網点とで構成されている背景部と、
前記万線状の直線でなる凸部のうち、その凸部と略1/2ピッチずらして形成されている潜像部と、
でなる一画像形成体に対し、前記一画像形成体を構成する潜像部の形状と異なる他の画像形成体が角度を変えて交差していることを特徴とする潜像を有する画像形成体としたものである。
【0010】
上記請求項1の発明によれば、基材の片面に、エンボスされた万線状の直線でなる凸部と、該凸部と同一ピッチでかつ平行に、略1/4ピッチずらして少なくとも前記基材と異なる1色で印刷されている網点とで構成されている背景部と、前記万線状の直線でなる凸部のうち、その凸部と略1/2ピッチずらして形成されている潜像部とでなる一画像形成体に対し、潜像部の形状が異なる他の画像形成体を角度を変えて交差させて複雑化することによって、複製や偽造が困難で、かつ一画像形成体と他の画像形成体でなるので潜像部が複数のパターンとなるので、デザイン性に自由度が向上する潜像を有する画像形成体を提供することにある。
【0011】
また、請求項2の発明では、上記一画像形成体を構成している網点と、角度を変えて交差している他の画像形成体を構成している網点が共通であることを特徴とする請求項1記載の潜像を有する画像形成体としたものである。
【0012】
上記請求項2の発明によれば、一画像形成体を構成している網点と他の画像形成体を構成している網点を共通させることによって、印刷するための製版が容易で、かつ斜めから見た場合の潜像部と背景部とのコントラストが増し、真偽判定がし易くなる潜像を有する画像形成体とすることができる。
【0013】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下本発明の実施の形態を説明する。
本発明は、有価証券類等の偽造・複製等による不正使用を防止するための偽造防止策が施された潜像を有する画像形成体であり、例えば図1(a)の模式的に表した概略説明図に示すように、紙でなる基材(30)の片面に、縦方向にエンボスされた万線状の直線でなる凸部と、その凸部と同一ピッチで、かつ平行に、略1/4ピッチずらして前記基材(30)と異なる1色で印刷されている印刷網点(12)とで構成されている背景部とこの凸部と略1/2ピッチずらして形成されて「T」の字を形成している潜像部とでなる画像形成体に対し、印刷網点(12)が共通で、潜像部が「P」の字である他の画像形成体が直角に交差している潜像を有する画像形成体(1)であり、これを上から見ると、紙でなる基材(30)上の印刷網点(12)のみが見え、左斜め上から見ると、図1(c)に示すように、背景部(7)が紙基材(30)の色である白く見え、潜像部(5)である「T」の字が印刷網点(12)の色で顕像化されて浮かび上がり、右斜め上から見ると、図1(b)に示すように、背景部(7)が印刷網点(12)の色で見え、潜像部(5)である「T」の字が紙基材(30)の色で白く顕像化されて浮かび上がるもので、さらに後ろ斜め上から見ると、図1(e)に示すように、背景部(7)が印刷網点(12)の色で見え、潜像部(5)である「P」の字が紙基材(30)の色で白く顕像化されて浮かび上がり、手前斜め上から見ると、図1(d)に示すように、背景部(7)が紙基材(30)の色である白く見え、潜像部(5)である「P」の字が印刷網点(12)の色で顕像化されて浮かび上がるもので、従来の前後方向からのみに比べ、潜像部(5)が顕像化されて浮かび上がるのが前後左右の4方向として、デザイン的効果を向上させるとともに、複雑化させているので、複製や偽造が困難な潜像を有する画像形成体(1)とするものである。
【0014】
上記事例では、2つの画像形成体を交差させたものであるが、3〜4つとすることも可能である。しかし、網点に対する万線状の凸部のエンボス見当精度や潜像部の顕像化された場合のコントラスト等の点から画像形成体の組み合わせは、実用上3つまでが限度である。
【0015】
以下に本発明の潜像を有する画像形成体(1)について図面を用いながら詳細に説明する。
【0016】
まず、例えば図2(a)の拡大上面図および図2(b)の拡大斜視図に示すように、基材(図示せず)面に、エンボスで得られた縦方向に延びる万線状凸部(20a)と、この万線状凸部(20a)と同一ピッチで、かつ平行に、略1/4ピッチずらして基材と異なる1色で印刷されている四角形の網点(12)とで構成されている背景部(7)と、この背景部(7)を構成している万線状凸部(20a)に対し、略1/2ピッチずらした潜像万線状凸部(22a)が形成されている潜像部(5)とでなる一画像形成体(1a)とし、その全体は、例えば図3の上面図に示すように、背景部(7)を構成している縦方向の万線状凸部(20a)と潜像部(5)が「T」の字を形成している潜像万線状凸部(22a)から構成されていて、これら万線状凸部(20a)と、潜像万線状凸部(22a)と同一ピッチで、かつ平行に、略1/4ピッチずらしてなる四角形の網点(図示せず)が形成されている一画像形成体(1a)である。
【0017】
さらに、例えば図4の拡大上面図に示すように、基材(図示せず)面に、エンボスで得られた横方向に延びる万線状凸部(20b)と、この万線状凸部(20b)と同一ピッチで、かつ平行に、略1/4ピッチずらして基材と異なる1色で印刷されている四角形の網点(12)とで構成されている背景部(7)と、この背景部(7)を構成している万線状凸部(20b)に対し、略1/2ピッチずらした潜像万線状凸部(22b)が形成されている潜像部(5)とでなる他の画像形成体(1b)とし、その全体は、例えば図5の上面図に示すように、背景部(7)を構成している横方向の万線状凸部(20b)と潜像部(5)が「P」の字を形成している潜像万線状凸部(22b)から構成されていて、これら万線状凸部(20b)と、潜像万線状凸部(22b)と同一ピッチで、かつ平行に、略1/4ピッチずらしてなる四角形の網点(図示せず)が形成されている他の画像形成体(1b)である。
【0018】
そこで、本発明では、例えば上記一画像形成体(1a)と他の画像形成体(1b)との組み合わせで、図6(a)の拡大上面図および図6(b)の拡大斜視図に示すように、縦方向の万線状凸部(20a)と横方向の万線状凸部(20b)とでなる背景部と、縦方向の潜像万線状凸部(22a)と横方向の潜像万線状凸部(22b)とでなる潜像部とで構成され、基材(図示せず)と四角形の網点(12)が共通している潜像を有する画像形成体(1)としたものである。
【0019】
上記本発明の潜像を有する画像形成体(1)の製造は、例えば上記一画像形成体(1a)と他の画像形成体(1b)とが共有する四角形の網点(12)を基材(30)の片面に印刷で施し、この網点(12)に見当を合わせて一画像形成体(1a)の縦方向の万線状凸部(20a)と縦方向の潜像万線状凸部(22a)とを、それらが形成されているエンボス版により押圧で施し、さらに、この網点(12)に見当を合わせて他の画像形成体(1b)の横方向の万線状凸部(20b)と横方向の潜像万線状凸部(22b)とをそれらが形成されているエンボス版により押圧で施して得られるか、あるいは上記一画像形成体(1a)の縦方向の万線状凸部(20a)および縦方向の潜像万線状凸部(22a)と、他の画像形成体(1b)の横方向の万線状凸部(20b)と横方向の潜像万線状凸部(22b)が形成されているエンボス版により1回の押圧で得ることもできる。
【0020】
上記本発明の潜像を有する画像形成体(1)を構成する基材(30)としては、天然繊維紙や合成紙あるいはプラスチックシート等エンボスが可能なものであればよく、例えば印刷適性を有する上質紙、中質紙、証券用紙等洋紙、あるいはマニラボール、白ボール等板紙が好適なものとして挙げられる。
【0021】
また、例えば図7に示すように、上記本発明の潜像を有する画像形成体(1)を構成する縦方向の万線状凸部(20a)と横方向の万線状凸部(20b)およびそれらと平行に、かつ略1/4ピッチずらして形成されている四角形の網点(12)のサイズとして、まず四角形の網点(12)の縦(x)、横(y)は、0.1mm〜2mmの範囲が好ましく、0.1mmに満たないと、網点(12)と万線状凸部(20a、20b)との見当合わせが困難となり、また2mmを越えると、通常の目視の状態で潜像部の付与が視認できるようになるので好ましくない。この網点(12)の縦(x)、横(y)のサイズに基づき縦方向の万線状凸部(20a)の幅(x)と横方向の万線状凸部(20b)の幅(y)が決まるものである。
【0022】
上記網点(12)は、四角形として、比較的大きな面積のものとし、潜像化にコントラストの点で優位なものとしたが、特にこの形状に限定するものではなくこの四角形に対応した円形あるいは楕円形であってもよい。
【0023】
また、例えば図8に示すように、背景部(7)を構成するピッチ幅(P)の縦方向の万線状凸部(20a)と潜像部(5)を構成する縦方向の潜像万線状凸部(22a)とのずらし幅(W)は、1/4〜3/4ピッチの範囲が好ましく、1/4ピッチに満たないと網点と万線状凸部(20a)あるいは潜像万線凸部(22a)との重なりの割合が低くなりすぎたり、一方では多くなりすぎたりし、逆に3/4ピッチを越えると網点と万線状凸部(20a)あるいは潜像万線凸部(22a)との重なりの割合が多くなりすぎたり、一方では低くなりすぎたりして、潜像部(5)の顕像化に際しコントラストに欠けることになるので好ましくない。
【0024】
さらにまた、上記万線状凸部の形状として、例えば図2(b)に示す縦方向の万線状凸部(20a)と縦方向の潜像万線状凸部(22a)のように、その断面が台形状で、両側が傾斜した壁を形成しているので、斜め上から見て顕像化する場合、最も効果的な顕像化が可能な形状であるが、特にこの形状に限定するものではなく、例えば長方形状あるいは半円形状(いわゆる蒲鉾型)であっても構わない。
【0025】
【発明の効果】
本発明は以上の構成であるから、下記に示す如き効果がある。
即ち、上記請求項1に係る発明において、基材の片面に、エンボスされた万線状の直線でなる凸部と、該凸部と同一ピッチで、かつ平行に、略1/4ピッチずらして少なくとも前記基材と異なる1色で印刷されている網点とで構成されている背景部と、前記万線状の直線でなる凸部のうち、その凸部と略1/2ピッチずらして形成されている潜像部とでなる一画像形成体に対し、潜像部の形状が異なる他の画像形成体を角度を変えて交差させて複雑化することによって、複製や偽造が困難で、かつ一画像形成体と他の画像形成体でなるので潜像部が複数のパターンとなるので、デザイン性に自由度が向上する潜像を有する画像形成体を提供できる効果がある。
【0026】
また、上記請求項2に係る発明においては、一画像形成体を構成している網点と他の画像形成体を構成している網点を共通させることによって、印刷するための製版が容易で、かつ斜めから見た場合の潜像部と背景部とのコントラストが増し、顕像化、即ち真偽判定がし易くなる潜像を有する画像形成体とすることができる。
【0027】
従って本発明は、株券、商品券あるいはクレジットカード等有価証券の他、商品用の封印シールやタグ類に偽造・複製の防止用として施す印刷を含めた画像形成体として、優れた実用上の効果を発揮する。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an image forming body including printing applied for preventing forgery / duplication on seals and tags for products, in addition to securities such as stock certificates, gift certificates or credit cards.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, in addition to securities such as stock certificates, gift certificates and credit cards, printing with sophisticated printing technology has been applied to prevent unauthorized use by counterfeiting and duplication, ranging from product seals and tags. However, in view of the frequent occurrence of unauthorized use due to counterfeiting and copying in recent years, special anti-counterfeiting measures have been taken in addition to these sophisticated printing.
[0003]
As a special forgery prevention measure, for example, there is a method of pasting a hologram, applying a material or an image that develops color by ultraviolet rays, and performing authenticity judgment by irradiating with ultraviolet rays, or a metal foil layer with different line directions. This is an embossed pattern in which multiple groups of linear concavo-convex patterns are formed, and the shading and brightness of the line-shaped concavo-convex patterns change when the viewing angle is changed. A straight line printed in a line shape at a predetermined pitch and a convex part made of a line-shaped emboss with the same pitch as this straight line are formed in parallel, and this convex part is approximately half-pitch. There is a printed matter in which a latent image portion is formed by shifting, and there is a forgery prevention technique in which a latent image appears when observed from an oblique direction.
[0004]
The anti-counterfeiting technology having convex portions made of line-like embossing will be described in more detail. For example, as shown in an enlarged top view of FIG. 9A and an enlarged perspective view of FIG. A printed line (10) and a printed line (10) having the same pitch as that of the printed line (10) and a line-shaped emboss that is shifted by about 1/4 pitch from the printed line (10). This is a printed matter in which the convex portions (20) are formed in parallel, and the latent image line-shaped convex portions (22) are formed with a ½ pitch shift with respect to the line-shaped convex portions (20). When this printed matter is viewed from the top, nothing can be seen, but when viewed from the front, the line-shaped convex part (20) appears white (as the color of the substrate), and the latent image line-shaped convex part (22). The part of the line-shaped convex part (20) appears in the color of the printed line (10) when viewed from the rear side. There is an anti-counterfeiting technique in which the portion of the linear convex portion (22) appears to appear white.
There is a printed product (for example, see Patent Document 1).
[0005]
[Patent Document 1]
JP-A-2002-19255 [0006]
At the time of development of any of the above methods, even if a copy was made by making full use of a color copier or a scanner, the copy was difficult and effective technology for preventing counterfeiting.
[0007]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, recently, the hologram technology and the technology for determining authenticity by ultraviolet irradiation have been generalized, and forgery and duplication have become relatively easy. Further, even in the technique using the above-mentioned opal effect, the shape of a line can be read relatively easily. With this technique and a machine, forgery and duplication have become easy. Furthermore, the method using anti-counterfeiting technology having convex portions made of line-shaped embossing as described above, the latent image portion pattern itself is relatively simple, so notice the anti-counterfeiting etc. Those skilled in the art can easily manufacture the device, and there is a problem in terms of preventing forgery. Furthermore, there is a problem that the design is limited because the latent image portion has only one pattern.
[0008]
The present invention solves the problems of the prior art, and the object of the present invention is to provide an image forming body to be applied as a forgery prevention measure to securities and the like, in particular, a convex portion made of line-like embossing. An object of the present invention is to provide an image forming body that uses a forgery prevention technique and has a latent image that is difficult to be duplicated or forged and that has a degree of freedom in design.
[0009]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above-mentioned object in the present invention, first, in the invention of claim 1, a convex portion formed of a line-like straight line embossed on one side of a base material, at the same pitch as the convex portion, and In parallel, a background portion composed of halftone dots printed at least one color different from the base material with a shift of approximately 1/4 pitch;
Among the convex portions formed of line-like straight lines, the latent image portion formed to be shifted from the convex portion by approximately ½ pitch,
An image forming body having a latent image, characterized in that the other image forming body having a shape different from the shape of the latent image portion constituting the one image forming body intersects the image forming body at a different angle. It is what.
[0010]
According to the first aspect of the present invention, at least one of the convex portions formed by embossed straight lines on one side of the base material, and at the same pitch and parallel to the convex portions, shifted by approximately 1/4 pitch. Of the convex portion consisting of a background line composed of halftone dots printed in one color different from the base material and the line-like straight line, the convex portion is formed with a shift of approximately ½ pitch. It is difficult to reproduce or counterfeit by complicating another image forming body with a different shape of the latent image portion by crossing it at a different angle from one image forming body consisting of a latent image portion. Since the formed body and the other image formed body are used, the latent image portion has a plurality of patterns. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide an image formed body having a latent image with improved flexibility in design.
[0011]
According to a second aspect of the present invention, the halftone dots constituting the one image forming body and the halftone dots constituting the other image forming bodies intersecting at different angles are common. The image forming body having a latent image according to claim 1.
[0012]
According to the second aspect of the invention, by making the halftone dots constituting one image forming body and the halftone dots constituting the other image forming body common, plate making for printing is easy, and When viewed from an oblique direction, the contrast between the latent image portion and the background portion is increased, and an image forming body having a latent image that facilitates authenticity determination can be obtained.
[0013]

The image forming body (1) has a latent image that is difficult to be duplicated or counterfeited.
[0014]
In the above example, two image forming bodies are crossed, but it is also possible to use three to four. However, the number of combinations of image forming bodies is practically limited to three in view of the emboss registration accuracy of the line-shaped convex portions with respect to the halftone dots and the contrast when the latent image portion is visualized.
[0015]
The image forming body (1) having a latent image of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.
[0016]
First, as shown in, for example, an enlarged top view of FIG. 2A and an enlarged perspective view of FIG. 2B, a line-like protrusion extending in the vertical direction obtained by embossing is provided on the surface of a base material (not shown). A rectangular halftone dot (12) printed in one color different from the base material at the same pitch and parallel to the part (20a) and parallel to the line-shaped convex part (20a). And the latent image line-shaped convex part (22a) shifted by approximately ½ pitch with respect to the line-shaped convex part (20a) constituting the background part (7). ) Is formed as an image forming body (1a) composed of a latent image portion (5), and the whole is a vertical portion constituting a background portion (7) as shown in a top view of FIG. 3, for example. The directional line-shaped convex part (20a) and the latent image part (5) are composed of a latent-image line-shaped convex part (22a) forming a letter “T”. A quadrilateral halftone dot (not shown) is formed at the same pitch and parallel to the line-shaped convex part (20a) and the latent image line-shaped convex part (22a) and shifted by approximately 1/4 pitch. One image forming body (1a).
[0017]
Furthermore, for example, as shown in the enlarged top view of FIG. 4, a line-shaped convex part (20b) extending in the lateral direction obtained by embossing and a line-shaped convex part ( 20b), and a background portion (7) composed of square halftone dots (12) printed in one color different from the base material at the same pitch and in parallel with the same pitch, and this A latent image portion (5) in which a latent image line-shaped convex portion (22b) shifted by approximately ½ pitch with respect to the line-shaped convex portion (20b) constituting the background portion (7); As shown in the top view of FIG. 5, for example, the entire image forming body (1b) is composed of a horizontal line-shaped convex portion (20b) constituting the background portion (7) and a latent image forming body (1b). The image portion (5) is composed of latent image line-shaped convex portions (22b) forming a letter “P”, and these line-shaped convex portions (20b) and the latent image Linear protrusions at the same pitch and (22b), and in parallel, a dot square formed by shifting about ¼ pitch (not shown) the other image forming member being formed (1b).
[0018]
Therefore, in the present invention, for example, a combination of the one image forming body (1a) and the other image forming body (1b) is shown in an enlarged top view of FIG. 6 (a) and an enlarged perspective view of FIG. 6 (b). As described above, the background portion composed of the vertical line-shaped convex portion (20a) and the horizontal line-shaped convex portion (20b), and the vertical latent image line-shaped convex portion (22a) and the horizontal direction An image forming body (1) having a latent image portion composed of a latent image line-shaped convex portion (22b) and having a common base material (not shown) and a square halftone dot (12). ).
[0019]
The production of the image forming body (1) having a latent image of the present invention is based on, for example, a rectangular halftone dot (12) shared by the one image forming body (1a) and the other image forming body (1b). (30) is printed on one side, and the vertical line-shaped convex part (20a) of the one image forming body (1a) and the vertical latent image line-shaped convex are aligned with this halftone dot (12). The portion (22a) is pressed by an embossed plate on which they are formed, and further aligned with this halftone dot (12), the horizontal line-shaped convex portions of the other image forming body (1b) (20b) and the horizontal latent image line-shaped convex portions (22b) are obtained by pressing with an embossed plate on which they are formed, or the vertical direction of the one image forming body (1a) is obtained. Sideways of the linear protrusion (20a) and the vertical latent image line-shaped protrusion (22a) and the other image forming body (1b) It can also be obtained by one pressing the embossing plate to parallel line-shaped convex portion (20b) and lateral latent image parallel line-shaped convex portion (22b) is formed of.
[0020]
The substrate (30) constituting the image forming body (1) having the latent image of the present invention may be any material that can be embossed, such as natural fiber paper, synthetic paper, or plastic sheet, and has printability, for example. Preferable examples include fine paper such as high quality paper, medium quality paper, and securities paper, or board paper such as Manila balls and white balls.
[0021]
For example, as shown in FIG. 7, the vertical line-shaped convex part (20a) and the horizontal line-shaped convex part (20b) constituting the image forming body (1) having the latent image of the present invention. As the size of the rectangular halftone dots (12) formed in parallel with them and shifted by approximately ¼ pitch, first, the vertical (x) and horizontal (y) of the rectangular halftone dots (12) are 0. The range of 1 mm to 2 mm is preferable, and if it is less than 0.1 mm, it is difficult to register the halftone dots (12) and the line-shaped convex portions (20a, 20b). In this state, the application of the latent image portion can be visually recognized. Based on the vertical (x) and horizontal (y) sizes of this halftone dot (12), the width (x) of the vertical line-shaped convex part (20a) and the width of the horizontal line-shaped convex part (20b) (Y) is determined.
[0022]
The halftone dot (12) has a relatively large area as a quadrangle, and is superior in terms of contrast for latent image formation. However, the present invention is not limited to this shape, and a circle corresponding to the quadrangle or It may be oval.
[0023]
Further, for example, as shown in FIG. 8, the vertical line-shaped convex part (20a) having the pitch width (P) constituting the background part (7) and the vertical latent image constituting the latent image part (5). The shift width (W) with respect to the line-shaped convex part (22a) is preferably in the range of 1/4 to 3/4 pitch, and if it is less than 1/4 pitch, the halftone dot and the line-shaped convex part (20a) or The overlapping ratio with the latent image line convex part (22a) becomes too low, or on the other hand, it becomes too large. Conversely, when the pitch exceeds 3/4 pitch, the halftone dot and the line convex part (20a) Since the ratio of the overlap with the image line convex part (22a) becomes too large or too low on the other hand, the latent image part (5) becomes unsatisfactory when the latent image part (5) is visualized.
[0024]
Furthermore, as the shape of the line-shaped convex part, for example, the vertical line-shaped convex part (20a) and the vertical latent image line-shaped convex part (22a) shown in FIG. Because the cross section is trapezoidal and the walls are slanted on both sides, it is the shape that enables the most effective visualization when visualized from obliquely above, but is limited to this shape. For example, a rectangular shape or a semicircular shape (so-called saddle shape) may be used.
[0025]
【The invention's effect】
Since this invention is the above structure, there exist the following effects.
That is, in the invention according to the first aspect, a convex portion formed by embossed lines is formed on one side of the base material, and the same pitch and parallel to the convex portion, and shifted by approximately ¼ pitch. Of the convex portion formed of at least a background portion composed of at least one halftone dot printed with one color different from that of the base material and the line-like straight line, the convex portion is shifted from the convex portion by approximately ½ pitch. It is difficult to reproduce or counterfeit by complicating another image forming body having a different shape of the latent image portion by crossing it at a different angle with respect to one image forming body composed of the latent image portion being Since the latent image portion has a plurality of patterns because it is composed of one image forming body and another image forming body, there is an effect that it is possible to provide an image forming body having a latent image with improved flexibility in design.
[0026]
In the invention according to the second aspect, the halftone dots constituting one image forming body and the halftone dots constituting the other image forming body are made common to facilitate plate making for printing. In addition, the contrast between the latent image portion and the background portion when viewed from an oblique direction is increased, and an image forming body having a latent image that is easy to be visualized, that is, to determine authenticity can be obtained.
[0027]
Therefore, the present invention has excellent practical effects as an image forming body including a stock certificate, a gift certificate, a securities such as a credit card, as well as printing applied to a seal for products and a tag to prevent forgery and duplication. Demonstrate.
