Definitions
- the invention relates to an optically variable security element for securing valuables, which has at least one piece of information and a translucent, optically variable layer arranged above the information.
- Valuables such as branded goods or documents of value
- security elements for the purpose of protection, which allow verification of the authenticity of the object of value and at the same time serve as protection against unauthorized reproduction.
- Valuables within the meaning of the present invention are in particular banknotes, stocks, bonds, certificates, vouchers, checks, high-quality admission tickets, but also other documents susceptible to counterfeiting, such as passports and other identity documents, as well as product security elements, such as labels, seals, packaging and the same.
- the term "valuable item” in the following includes all such items, documents and product securing means.
- the security elements In order to prevent the reproduction itself with high-quality copiers, the security elements often have optically variable elements, which give the viewer a different image impression, for example a different color impression, at different viewing angles.
- document EP 0435029 A2 discloses a security element with a plastic-like layer made of a liquid-crystal polymer which displays a pronounced color change at room temperature.
- the document WO 97/19818 shows and describes a data carrier with an optically variable element, in which an information is applied in a color contrasting the data carrier and at least partially from a translucent, optically variable layer is covered.
- the object of the invention is to provide a generic security element with high security against forgery and high visual attractiveness.
- the information is formed by a layer sequence which has a colored background layer and an intaglio printing layer printed over the background layer.
- the intaglio printing layer is preferably provided with a dark printing ink, in particular with black, violet, brown, dark blue or dark green Color printed. Dark portrait colors can thus be used advantageously.
- the printing plate needed for intaglio printing is preferably milled with the stylus, but can also be made by laser, etching or Auswachstechnilcen. If reference is made to "milling" in the following, of course, the other techniques can be read.
- the surface area covered by the intaglio printing layer includes the surface area covered by the colored background layer.
- the preferably dark stichief printing ink thus covers any register variations to the background layer, so that the impression of perfect registration arises for the observer.
- the intaglio printing layer at least contains a recess whose shape forms an information.
- the intaglio printing layer can have a fine structure of differently oriented, parallel lines whose shape forms information.
- the lines of the fine structure expediently have a line thickness b of 50 ⁇ m to 500 ⁇ m, preferably of 100 ⁇ m to 200 ⁇ m, and are preferably arranged at a distance a which lies between 0.8 * b and 1.6 * b.
- a line distance a is the distance between each. same, for example, left edges of adjacent lines called. If the line spacing a corresponds to the line width b, then the parallel lines lie side by side without a gap.
- the preferred range for the line spacing a thus extends from a 20% overlap of adjacent lines to line patterns with an intermediate space whose width is 60% of the line width.
- the milling depth of the lines is preferably between 5 .mu.m and 250 .mu.m, more preferably between 70 .mu.m and 120 .mu.m.
- the line parameters mentioned: line width, line spacing and milling depth can be uniform for the entire intaglio printing layer. Often, however, it makes sense to design different areas of the gravure printing layer with different line parameters, depending on the desired appearance.
- a positive edge contour is a circumferential, dark edge line visible in the print image, with a negative edge contour around a corresponding circumferential recess.
- the security against forgery of the security element can be further increased by providing the intaglio printing layer with machine-readable feature substances, in particular magnetic feature substances, infrared-absorbing or infrared-transparent feature substances, phosphorescent, fluorescent or other luminescent substances.
- the background layer may be a liquid crystal layer having a color shift effect, an interference layer, a metal layer or a print layer.
- the background layer is preferably a background printing layer which is printed in a uniform color with a colored or metallic color, for example a gold or silver color. Offset printing, indirect printing, screen printing or other printing processes known to those skilled in the art come into consideration as printing processes.
- the background layer may also contain machine-readable feature substances, in particular infrared-transparent feature substances, phosphorescent, fluorescent or other luminescent substances.
- the background printing layer contains at least one recess, the form of which forms information.
- the background printing layer can be printed in a structured manner, the form of the structuring forming an information.
- the colored background layer can be executed in one color or also in several colors.
- the information of the gravure printing layer and / or the background layer may represent a picture motif, a portrait, a logo or an encoding, such as a barcode or an alphanumeric character string.
- both intaglio and undercoat contain information.
- the information of the two layers are in this case advantageously related or complementary to each other.
- the simplest case of related information is a repetition of the information.
- the denomination of a banknote can be introduced into a recess or structuring both in the background layer and in the gravure printing layer.
- Complementary information is the combination of the both partial information the entire information. For example, complementary subgroups of a serial number or complementary parts of a portrait may be incorporated into the two layers.
- the optically variable layer advantageously contains optically variable pigments, interference-layer pigments or pigments prepared on the basis of liquid-crystalline polymers. It preferably has a color shift effect as an optically variable effect.
- the application of the optically variable layer to the security element is expediently effected by printing, for example by screen printing, by painting or spraying.
- the optically variable layer contains at least one recess whose shape forms a further information.
- the further information of the optically variable layer is advantageously based on the information of the intaglio printing layer and / or the Unterbeckdruck ⁇ layer or supplements them. For example, the Farbkipp ⁇ effect of the optically variable layer and the color impression of the ground color coordinated so that the optically variable layer from certain viewing directions has the same color as the background pressure. From these viewing directions, the further information coded in the recess can not be recognized, while it clearly emerges from other viewing directions, from which the color impression of the optically variable layer differs from the color impression of the background layer.
- the surface area covered by the optically variable layer advantageously includes the surface area covered by the intaglio printing layer.
- the security element is covered by the surface area covered by the optically variable layer and uncovered by the straddle layer preferably a light color, such as paper white.
- the translucent, optically variable layer is then almost invisible outside of the intaglio printing layer above the light background, while its optically variable effect clearly appears above the dark intaglio printing layer.
- the combination of background printing layer and Stichtiefdruck ⁇ layer can also be a very dark background can be achieved, which is the significant highlighting of Farbkippeff ect at least in some areas of the security element advantage.
- the invention also includes a method for producing a security element of the type described above, in which
- a colored background layer preferably printed, is,
- a gravure printing layer is printed over the background layer, the layer sequence consisting of background layer and intaglio printing layer having information, and
- the invention further includes a valuable article, such as a brand article, a document of value or the like, with a security element of the type described above.
- the information of the security element is hereby referred to or supplemented with particular advantage on information provided elsewhere in the article of value these.
- the information of the security element can be the denomination of a banknote printed on another place or a printed on a value document graphic motif, such as a portrait, repeat.
- the valuable item may in particular be a security paper, a value document or a product packaging.
- the described design options for the undercoat layer, the intaglio printing layer and the optically variable layer offer a high degree of flexibility for the design of security elements according to the invention.
- the optically variable layer is applied only as the last layer in the production method according to the invention, so that a low reject rate and thus cost-effective production can be achieved. Since the optically variable layer does not have to be embossed, its color shift effect is very evident.
