  • Metals, plastics, plastic-film composites, paper-based substrates and / or hybrid substrates consisting of a combination of the substrates mentioned come into consideration as the substrate of the luminescent element.
  • the luminescent element according to the invention also provides increased protection against forgery because many adjustments are made using conventional offset printing machines and / or inkjet office printers, and the registration of printing areas in both offset printing machines and inkjet printers different printing inks poses a problem if the printing takes place in two or more process steps or a substrate is transported from one printing unit to the next printing unit. In the case of an offset printing machine, this is the case when the printing is not carried out by means of a common impression cylinder.
  • adjustments are usually generated with a first printer, which is only filled with visually invisible fluorescent inks in the cartridges, and with a second printer, which is only filled with visually visible inks.
