Definitions

  • the invention relates to a novel printing medium having both good electrical conductivity and good printability.
  • a current trend in the field of print media, especially playing cards, is the ability to record information on these media using both a traditional printing technique and a detectable data writing technique. by appropriate reading means.
  • the transmitted information is readable only with the aid of appropriate reading devices and is not in principle recognizable by optical means.
  • the invention therefore aims to provide a printed medium, comprising printed information, which can also be detected other than by strictly optical devices.
  • the patent FR 2370323 already provided for recording information on a support using conductive ink, and to read the information thus printed using a corona generator sensitive to differences in conductivity in the support.
  • the disadvantage in this technique is the absence of a direct measurement of electrical conductivity, which can lead to significant loss of information, especially in the case where the medium is intended to transmit precise identification or verification information. .
  • the Applicant has therefore attached, in a first step, to provide a device for reading the electrical conductivity that allows a simple measurement, direct and transmissible to a computer and, in a second step, to improve the electrical conductivity of a layer applied to an information carrier by selecting a suitable conductive pigment.
  • the conductive layer used is a layer based on a magnesium fluorosilicate sold under the name "LAPONITE” by Rockwood Additives Limited (UK).
  • This synthetic pigment resembles, both because of its structure and its chemical composition, a natural mineral hectorite.
  • the resulting product is filtered, washed, dried and milled to produce a finely divided white powder.
  • the silicates thus synthesized can then have the following empirical chemical formula: Na 0.7 + [(Si 8 Mg 5.5 Li 0.3 ) O 20 (OH) 2.5 F 1.5 ] 0.7-
  • the fluorosilicate powder When added to water, the fluorosilicate powder disperses rapidly to primary particles.
  • These primary particles are comparable to disk-shaped crystals with a diameter of between 20 and 30 nm and a thickness of about 1 nm.
  • each fluorosilicate unit contained in the crystal has a charge deficiency of -0.7.
  • the Applicant therefore carried out tests by depositing a layer based on calcium carbonate or kaolin, which pigments are frequently used to improve the printability of the printing-writing papers, and based on "LAPONITE" on a support intended to be printed. conductivity of said support being able to be detected, thereafter, using a reading device as shown in Figure 1.
  • a first object of the invention is therefore to provide a printing medium having both good electrical conductivity and good printability.
  • the Applicant therefore envisaged adding a coating pigment giving the paper an ink absorption capacity greater than that of traditional coating pigments, such as kaolin or calcium carbonate.
  • the fixing of the ink on the paper is generally the result of two complementary processes: the absorption of the fraction of the ink suitable for conveying the color pigment, generally of fine oils, and often containing the necessary antioxidants storage stability and oxidative polymerization of the "hard” resins or varnishes left on the surface of the paper, this fraction also containing the ink pigments.
  • Coated papers are particularly suitable for high quality printing because the ink vehicle part is easily absorbed into the layer by capillary action, while the varnish and pigment are left on the surface where they have a better effect.
  • the varnish therefore has difficulty in fixing.
  • Some coating pigments are therefore used to increase the ink absorption capacity of the layer.
  • the Applicant has therefore preferred the use of coating pigment having an oil absorption capacity of at least about 80 g / 100 g pigment.
  • Another object of the invention is therefore to provide a printing medium covered with a layer, in which the coating pigments impart to the paper a good ink absorption capacity and limit the dusting phenomenon during the coating. impression.
  • the present invention thus provides a printing medium coated with an electrically conductive layer, wherein said conductive layer contains at least one electrically conductive synthetic pigment and at least one coating pigment having an absorption capacity of oil greater than 80 g / 100 g pigment as measured using American standard ASTM Standards D 2414.
  • the conductive synthetic pigment is a magnesium fluorosilicate.
  • the coating pigment is an amorphous silica, said silica preferably having an oil absorption capacity of about 200 g / 100 g pigment as measured using US ASTM Standards. D 2414.
  • the layer contains a mixture of magnesium fluorosilicate, amorphous silica and calcium carbonate.
  • the layer contains a mixture of 20 to 100 parts by dry weight of magnesium fluorosilicate, 0 to 80 parts by dry weight of calcium carbonate and 0 to 10 parts by dry weight of amorphous silica, and advantageously, from 60 to 80 parts by dry weight of magnesium fluorosilicate, from 20 to 40 parts by dry weight of calcium carbonate and from 2 to 5 parts by dry weight of amorphous silica.
  • the printing medium has an optical density of less than 0.8, optical density determined using the fürbau printing test and for a drying time of 15 seconds.
  • the printing medium has a surface resistivity of less than 10 ohms, resistivity determined using US ASTM D257-99 and a relative humidity of 10%.
  • the printing medium contains information in the form of an insulating pattern deposited on the conductive layer, said insulating pattern defining, preferably in combination with the underlying conductive layer, a bar code, in which the bars are of varying widths and are alternately conductive and insulating.
  • the print medium contains information read using a device sensitive to electrical conductivity changes and subsequently transmitted to a computer for storage and possible treatment.
  • the present invention also provides a playing card comprising a print medium as defined above.
  • a coating composition is applied using a dragging coater. comprising a pigment of the calcium carbonate type at a rate of 12 g / m 2 .
  • a composition coating comprising a magnesium fluorosilicate conductive synthetic pigment at a rate of 4 g / M 2 .
  • a composition coating material comprising a synthetic magnesium fluorosilicate conductive pigment and a kaolin pigment at a rate of 5.1 g / m 2 .
  • a composition coating comprising a magnesium fluorosilicate conductive synthetic pigment and a kaolin pigment at a rate of 5 g / m 2 .
  • a composition coating comprising a magnesium magnesium fluorosilicate conductive synthetic pigment and a calcium carbonate pigment at a rate of 5.2 g / m 2 .
  • a composition coating material comprising a synthetic magnesium fluorosilicate conductive pigment and a calcium carbonate type pigment at a rate of 4.9 g / m 2 .
  • a composition coating material comprising a magnesium fluorosilicate conductive synthetic pigment and an amorphous silica pigment at a rate of 5.1 g / m 2 .
  • a composition coating material comprising a magnesium fluorosilicate conductive synthetic pigment and an amorphous silica pigment at a rate of 5.1 g / m 2 .
  • a composition coating composition comprising a synthetic magnesium fluorosilicate conductive pigment, a calcium carbonate type pigment and a silica pigment at a rate of 5.5 g / m 2 .
  • a composition coating composition comprising a synthetic magnesium fluorosilicate conductive pigment, a calcium carbonate type pigment and a silica pigment at a rate of 5.5 g / m 2 .
  • a composition coating material comprising a synthetic magnesium fluorosilicate conductive pigment, a calcium carbonate type pigment and a silica type pigment at a rate of 4.8 g / m 2 .
  • a composition coating material comprising a synthetic magnesium fluorosilicate conductive pigment, a calcium carbonate type pigment and a silica-type pigment at a rate of 4 g / m 2 .
  • the Applicant has carried out a number of tests to assess in particular the electrical conductivity and printability of the paper obtained.
  • Figure 1 shows, schematically, a possible tubular configuration of this electronic pen (30).
  • It consists of a tip electrode (22) and a second electrode (24).
  • the electrode (22) is configured to provide a flat circular contact with a diameter of about 1 mm. It is tensioned by spring, not exceeding a maximum voltage of 0.1 N so as not to damage the surface of the support.
  • the second electrode (24) is constituted by the aluminum tubular body of the pen (30).
  • the hand of the operator comes into contact with the external surface of the pen, and thereby with the electrode (24), and completes the electrical circuit formed between the conductive support and the tip electrode (22).
  • An energy source is arranged to apply a voltage of 6 volts across the electrodes (22,24).
  • the measuring device comprises a preamplifier (31) and a voltage oscillator-translator (32).
  • the high input impedance preamplifier (31) produces a 50-fold gain in the input of the oscillator (32).
  • the input value of the oscillator (32) varies according to whether the electrode (22) is in contact or not with a conductive part of the support, ie whether or not there is an electrical circuit between the two electrodes.
  • a variation of the input of the oscillator (32) produces a variation in the frequency of the output signal, and this frequency change is used to detect the contacting of the electrode (22) with a conductive or insulating zone of the support.
  • the oscillator (32) has been configured so that contacting the electrode (22) with a conductive portion of the medium produces an output of frequency 11 kHz and a contact between the electrode (22) with an insulating part produces a frequency output of 4 kHz.
  • the signal from the oscillator (32) then flows in a coaxial cable (35) of small diameter, terminated by a plug (36), this plug being inserted into an input terminal of a computer so as to allow the storing and analyzing the input signal by said computer.
  • the coated paper conventionally used for offset printing has a high electrical resistivity and therefore a low electrical conductivity.
  • the pen test confirms that the layer does not transmit information due to this low conductivity.
  • Comparative Example 2 which corresponds to the conductive layer containing a conductive pigment but no pigment improving the printability, on the contrary, a low resistivity and therefore a high conductivity are observed.
  • the pen test is therefore positive.
  • optical density in the smear test is greater than 0.8, after 15 sec of drying, which should be judged to be insufficient for offset printing of acceptable quality.
  • Example 3 a variable amount of coating pigment traditionally used to improve printability, namely kaolin and calcium carbonate, was added to the conductive layer of Example 2.
  • Example 7 a variable rate of amorphous silica having a better oil absorption rate than kaolin and calcium carbonate was added to the conductive layer of Example 2.
  • the paper undergoes a noticeable tearing during the printing, which can be annoying for a quality offset printing.
  • the Applicant therefore used an amorphous silica content in the layer of less than 10 parts by dry weight, and preferably less than 5 parts by dry weight, to avoid these dusting phenomena and compensated by a rate of variable calcium carbonate.
  • Example 11 It is actually verified in Example 11 that a magnesium fluorosilicate content of less than 20 parts by dry weight results in unacceptable electrical conductivity.
