Definitions

  • the invention relates to a security document comprising, as a security element against copying, prints of recto and verso lines observable in reflected light and forming an observable image in transmitted light.
  • suitable patterns have been created in a given area, with patterns on the front and reasons on the back of the note so that that these motifs complement each other to form an image or final representation, for example a set of graphic lines or alphanumeric characters or an image of a character or an animal, etc.
  • an image or final representation for example a set of graphic lines or alphanumeric characters or an image of a character or an animal, etc.
  • patterns are identical to the front and back by superimposing them so as to observe in transmitted light an image which is also identical to the patterns.
  • the means for reproducing the patterns such as photocopiers and scanners, allow the color copying recto / verso and have resolution powers increasingly important, so we search for patterns more difficult to counterfeit.
  • US-A-6,089,614 shows a security document with all the features of the preamble.
  • the applicant therefore aims to propose a security document with an increased level of security against the front and back copy.
  • the final image observable in transmitted light has a 3D effect obtained by density variations in number per unit area and / or print intensity of the lines.
  • density variations in number per unit area is used to vary the distances between the lines.
  • the lines are present in a large number and are very fine.
  • the image to be observed in transvision can be an image as such but also a part of a larger image or portrait and in particular already existing on the document.
  • the lines are black lines and / or in gray gradients and / or in color and / or changing in appearance depending on the angle of observation or under the action of an excitation source such as radiation, especially fluorescent, thermochromic or photochromic and / or have electromagnetic properties including electroconductive, magnetic or magnetic resonance.
  • an excitation source such as radiation, especially fluorescent, thermochromic or photochromic and / or have electromagnetic properties including electroconductive, magnetic or magnetic resonance.
  • the document may also include solid color prints.
  • the security document may include other elements of security, including safety wire, boards, iridescent prints, etc.
  • More particularly the invention relates to a bank note.
  • the prints are made in a zone of reduced opacity.
  • this zone of reduced opacity may be a zone such as that described in the patent application.
  • EP687324 that is to say an area of reduced thickness and opacity with an area of more than 0.4 cm 2 obtained in a paper made in twin-jet of which a jet has a zone of reduced thickness or even zero .
  • the document is therefore a twin-jet paper sheet of which a jet has a zone of reduced or even zero thickness and with an area of more than 0.4 cm 2 , said zone comprising the impressions.
  • the document may have as support a sheet or a plastic film of an opacity allowing the observation of the prints as in the case of a paper.
  • a sheet of paper is printed from a grid on one side of the sheet and the same grid coincides on the back. Since double-sided printing is pinpointed with precision on the machines used to print banknotes and security documents, with the front and back grids overlapping, the image of a single 3D effect grid appears when observes the sheet in transvision and also in reflected light. If a counterfeiter reproduces these grids by means of a copier or a printer (after scanning), there will be a shift of a bar or part of the bars and then the resulting grid of the superposition of the two front grids and back will become a cluster or even a black square although in observation in reflected light we would see a grid on the front or on the back. The man in the street can easily and immediately see that the document or ticket has been forged
