Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention is a photographic printing method in which card information such as a name and code number attached to a credit card, cash card, ID card, etc. is printed on a photosensitive resin layer provided on the front side of the card. This invention relates to a card having a convex portion formed by a method and a method for manufacturing the same.

Traditionally, credit cards, cash cards, identification cards, etc. are printed in a predetermined manner on a plastic sheet, and then the typefaces in the embosser are combined using an embossing machine, usually called an embosser.
The printed text was formed in a convex shape on the front side by applying pressure from the back side.

However, card information such as the name and code number formed on the card surface is formed by a combination of fonts in the embosser. In the conventional embossing method using an embosser, since the embosser does not have kanji print, the size and type of characters, symbols, etc. that form the card information in kanji in a convex shape on the card surface. There were many restrictions regarding location, etc. Furthermore, if you try to incorporate kanji, other characters, symbols, etc. into the embosser, the number of printed characters will be a certain number, and special skills are required when selecting the type for embossing, just like handling a Japanese typewriter. This may make it difficult to handle, the shape of the embossed part may become uneven due to unbalanced pressure, or it may be difficult to emboss multiple or small characters, symbols, etc. It has various disadvantages such as.

Therefore, the present invention provides a card having a convex portion and a method for manufacturing the same in view of the above-mentioned points.

Next, the present invention will be explained based on an embodiment shown in the drawings.

A card (1) having a convex portion according to the present invention is shown in FIG.
As shown in (b), the card (2) is made of synthetic resin such as plastic, aluminum plate, hard cardboard, etc., and has fixed items such as the card name, member signature, and expiration date on the front side, and instructions for use of the card on the back side (3). are provided by printing, and a transparent photosensitive resin layer (4) is further laminated on top, and card information (5) such as name and code number is formed in a convex shape on the photosensitive resin layer (4). This is what happens.

In addition, the surface of the photosensitive resin layer (4) may be colored with a transparent colorant so that the card information (5) can be easily read, and the code number may be machine-readable. It may also be in the form of OCR, barcode, etc.

In addition, in order to prevent falsification of card information (5) due to peeling of the photosensitive resin layer (4) of the card (2),
) may be printed with background patterns, thin lines, etc.

Furthermore, a magnetic band may be provided at a desired location on the card, and data such as the code number and expiration date of the card may be recorded on this magnetic band.
It is also possible to have a configuration in which the C chip is embedded in the card and its terminals are provided at the end of the card.

Next, in order to manufacture a card (1) having a convex portion according to the present invention, a transparent sheet (6) as shown in FIG. Predetermined card information (5') such as the user's code number and card expiration date is written on the card information writing sheet (10) which is integrated with the negative sheet (8) and the backing paper (9) below. After the card user writes the card user's name on the negative sheet (8) on the card issuer's side, or before or after the card issuer, write the card user's name on the negative sheet (8), and then write the card user's name on the backing paper (9).
is kept as a copy by the issuer, and the colored copy transfer agent (7) on the back of the negative sheet (8) where the card information (5') is written is transferred to the surface of the copy paper (9) by pressure of the pen, as shown in Figure 3. A negative sheet (8), which has become a negative type as shown, is coated with a card (2) made of synthetic resin such as plastic or an aluminum plate, and a photosensitive resin layer (4) is placed on the card (2) as shown in FIG.
) is brought into close contact with the surface of the photosensitive resin layer (4) of the card provided with the card, and then exposed in the exposure area (A) as shown in FIG.
The card information (5') written on the negative sheet (8) is printed on the photosensitive resin layer (4), and the unexposed areas are dissolved in a developer and washed out in the washout section (B).
Only the portion 5) is formed into a convex shape and dried in a drying section (C) to produce a card (1) having a convex portion as shown in FIG.

The present invention consists of the above-mentioned configuration, but the card (2
) may be made of an appropriate synthetic resin sheet such as a vinyl chloride sheet, an aluminum plate, a hard base paper, etc.
The photosensitive resin layer (4) may be formed by coating a photosensitive resin layer, or may be formed by adhering a photosensitive resin plate onto a substrate, and the resin is photocured by ultraviolet rays and developed. It is made of a photosensitive resin that is insoluble in liquids, and examples of such materials include Daicryl plate (Edupon) and KRP (Edupon).
Kodak Co.), nylon plate (Time Co., Ltd. BASF), etc. are known, and these may be applied to the present invention, and the printed content on the front side of the card (2) can be seen through. Those things are preferable.

In addition, the negative sheet (8) is one in which the pressed part becomes transparent due to writing pressure, typing pressure, etc.; however, when heated, the colored copying transfer agent in the heated part is transferred to the backing paper, and that part becomes transparent. It is also possible to use a plate-making method that uses a film in which a photosensitive emulsion layer made of gelatin, silver halide, etc. is provided on a film base, and allows card information written in advance on the manuscript to be added onto the film by exposure. The negative sheet (8) may be composed of a film such that the image portion of the card information on the negative sheet (8) is transparent, and the portion other than the image portion is opaque. Unexposed areas may be completely washed out.

As described above, according to the present invention, a photosensitive resin layer is laminated on a card, a negative sheet is closely attached to the photosensitive resin layer, and the so-called plate-making process consists of the steps of exposure, baking, development washing, and drying. Since card information is formed in a convex shape, it is possible to provide card information such as all kinds of characters and symbols, and there is no concave part on the back side of the card, which is the case with cards processed with a conventional embosser, so the card is in a uniform flat state. Therefore, even if instructions for use of the card are printed on the back side, it can be read accurately without deforming the printed surface, and the convex card information can be scraped off and new convex card information can be created using an embosser to prevent tampering. In this case, the back side corresponding to the tampered part on the front side becomes concave, and therefore,
This makes it easy to detect tampering, organize and store the card, and load the card into the imprinter smoothly.

Furthermore, since the same card information written on the negative sheet is placed in a convex shape on the card using plate-making technology, the character information is printed on the card in a convex shape using pressure using a conventional embosser. There is no bulging or blistering, and therefore small characters, lines, dots, etc. can be accurately formed into a convex shape, and card information can be written in any case regardless of the size and shape of the card. In addition, since the card information can be confirmed on the negative sheet, there is no possibility that mistakes will be left on the card, and expensive cards will not be wasted, making it possible to manufacture cards extremely efficiently. It is something that can be done.

In addition, if the user writes his or her name on a negative sheet or manuscript when applying for a card, the user's handwritten letters will already be placed in a convex form on the card when the card is issued. This eliminates the need for a signature panel for the card, and there is no need to sign the card after it is issued, so even if the card is handed over to a third party due to an accident during mailing or distribution, the third party will still be able to sign the card. It is also possible to prevent unauthorized use of the card since it is not possible to use the card again.

Furthermore, when using a card, when the card information is imprinted onto a form using an imprinter, the name on the card is printed on the form, so when using the card, the signature on the card and the signature written on the form can be compared on the same form. This method has various effects such as making it possible to easily confirm the identity of the card holder and the user.
