Definitions

  • the invention relates to printed documents supporting hidden confidential information by a removable opaque layer. This information does not can normally only be revealed after destruction by scraping of said layer.
  • This category of documents includes in particular so-called "instant lottery” game tickets.
  • the ticket buyer can immediately know the winning nature or not of its purchase by scratching the layer, operation which discovers the message or number concealed from below.
  • Such a scratch-off layer can also be used on different types of documents - such as: gift voucher, sales voucher, etc. - which give rise, for example, to the award of a prize or a gift based on a message, a number, of icons, revealed by scraping the opaque layer.
  • Any document bearing a part of information including the sender wishes to guarantee confidentiality, as for example a secret code to communicate to a person particular can also be provided with a layer scratchable.
  • Document FR-2 595 987 describes an opaque layer made of brittle ink, covered with a design complicated print, such as a guilloche, so the fraudster who would operate by abduction and replacement of the diaper would be imposed the very delicate additional work to reconstruct the drawing original overlay.
  • WO 9640394 discloses a printing method multilayer supposed to make reproduction impossible after alteration of the scrapable layer.
  • WO 95/14579 starts from another approach to the problem: crucial information is only printed on the document that at the time of the sale, via a thermal process controlled by a central computer.
  • the ink covering information can react with certain solvents, so that any attempt to detach the layer is easily identified.
  • An object of the invention is to obtain documents to scratch-off layer in which the hidden information is safe from fraud, notably due to scratching and of the fraudulent reconstruction of the masking layer this information, overlay or peel and redeposition of that layer.
  • Another object of the invention is to obtain more scratch-resistant documents elaborate than that of a simple printed image even complicated, and whose visual effect is remarkable.
  • Another object of the invention is that the control can be done at any time in the chain distribution, without the documents themselves affected.
  • the object of the invention is a printed document carrying confidential information masked by an opaque scrapable layer
  • the outer face includes a layer containing pigments reacting by a reversible color change to a change in the temperature hereinafter called "thermochromic layer”.
  • the pigments are arranged in the opaque scrapable layer itself.
  • the pigments are scattered in a separate layer on the face outer of the opaque scrapable layer.
  • the document comprises a layer external superimposed on the thermochromic layer.
  • one of the layers covering confidential information includes pigments having a variable optical effect depending on the surrounding conditions.
  • This variable optical effect depends, for example, on the angle from which an observer looks at the document.
  • This variable optical effect can be obtained by a iridescent ink, or by a reactive ink reversible to ultraviolet radiation.
  • this variable optical effect is obtained by affixing a holographic layer.
  • the temperature at which produces this change is close to that of the epidermis, about 25 ° C.
  • the removable opaque layer and the thermochromic layer are confused.
  • thermochromic layer can be applied by serigraphy or flexography. It can also be a transferable layer.
  • Fig. 1 is a perspective view with tearing of a document according to the invention.
  • the document includes a support 1 on which is carried printed information 2 (usually a series of figures, figures, icons, etc.).
  • This information 2 is in principle impossible to decipher without at least partially destroying a layer which conceals it from sight or any other means of reading (photography, photocopier, etc.).
  • a layer protective 3 which separates it from an opaque layer 4, which has mechanical characteristics and physical such that it can only be removed by a deliberate scratching.
  • This opaque layer 4 is itself covered with a layer 5 containing an ink thermochrome. As shown in Fig. 1, this layer 5 is covered by an outer layer 6, which can be at decorative function.
  • a classic method for fraudsters is to take note of the information sought in locally destroying the scrapable layer in a series of strategic points (global information being extracted both by interpolation and by extrapolation) then to mask surfaces - which, depending on their skill; can be extremely reduced - destroyed by their intervention.
  • thermochromic pigments acts, on the contrary, as "active" protection due to the presence of patterns made with thermochromic pigments.
  • the peculiarity of these pigments is to react quickly by visible color changes to a variation of the temperature.
  • the legitimate recipient suffices of the document exposing it to a change in temperature: if the entire surface of the document or pattern has a matching color shift, it can conclude that the confidentiality of the information that is intended has been respected. If, on the contrary, localized areas or points retain their color original, even show a discordant variation, it must infer from this that the document has been forged.
  • thermochromic pigments The presence (a priori improbable) of zones falsified with discordant variation would indicate that the fraudster, despite their high cost and their restricted distribution, was able to obtain thermochromic pigments.
  • thermochromic layer 5 can itself be covered with a layer of overprint 6, consisting for example of a guilloche difficult to reconstitute after alteration. This overprinting is generally done in offset.
  • thermochromic layer 5 Note that the presence of a layer of overprint 6 is not fundamental but that it nevertheless allows to produce cross effects interesting in combination with- the thermochromic layer 5.
  • the layer scratchable 4 is applied by screen printing.
  • the polyester gauze used for this process must have a mesh length of at least 50 ⁇ m, and preferably between 60 and 80 ⁇ m.
  • variable optical properties OVI SICPA producing including a variation from gold to green.
  • Thermochromic inks are water-based and must be applied uniformly by frames with a density of 77 threads / cm. These inks change usually colored in intervals of 25, 30 and 47 ° C (we can quote for example blue inks whose color change threshold is set at 20 ° C).
  • Photochromic inks can be used to make the other layers: the latter have a color change after being exposed to UV radiation (in particular, at a wavelength of 350-370 nm at a rate of 3 mW / cm 2 ) . A few seconds are enough to produce such a color change, which persists for several minutes.
  • Flexography is a form of lithography in which the plate is flexible.
  • BASF® Nyloflex FA
  • a transfer machine such as the machine Gietz® allows to transfer a layer 5,6, by a combination of pressure and heat, on the layer removable 4.
  • a pressure of the order of 200 kg / cm 2 and a temperature of around 125 ° C. are used.
  • the transfer speed does not exceed a rate of 3600 documents per hour.
  • the plates used are made of steel; the sheet used is, for example, a single sheet of gold or silver.
  • thermochromic pigments are dispersed in the layer scratchable 4 itself, not in a layer 5 separate.
  • the amount of pigments, in this case, is obviously more important since the layer is thicker and that colors should appear despite the charge opaque.
