Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a security element, preferably in the form of a film strip, film thread or film patch, with a machine-readable code and a method for producing such a security element.
  • Printing inks with magnetic pigments for intaglio printing or gravure printing are, for example, made of EP 2 417 207 B1 known.
  • the object of the present invention is to propose a solution to the aforementioned problems.
  • a security element with a machine-readable code that can be reliably verified for authenticity.
  • a magnetic coding with the aid of magnetic printing inks or magnetic printing inks which represent part of a visible visual security feature, such as part of a single- or multi-coloured motif print which is visible when viewed from above on the security element.
  • the visual security feature is implemented, for example, by code areas visibly provided in or on the security element, which are printed with different magnetic printing inks, for example in the form of motifs or symbols.
  • the magnetic printing inks used are opaque and preferably correspond to one or more body colors that represent the visual appearance of the visual security feature.
  • the code areas printed with such magnetic printing inks provide a machine-readable magnetic coding that does not disrupt the design or appearance of the visual security feature and is generally indistinguishable from it without additional aids.
  • the code areas are, for example, spatially separated or at least partially overlapping areas in which the magnetic printing inks are inserted or applied.
  • micro-recesses for microimages which are imaged or enlarged by means of micro-optical relief structures to generate the optically variable security feature, typically have very small dimensions and are therefore inherently difficult to imitate.
  • the magnetic pigments of the magnetic printing inks incorporated into the micro-recesses have a diameter of less than 2 ⁇ m.
  • Such small-sized magnetic pigments are particularly suitable for coloring micro-recesses for microimages of optically variable security features, such as moiré magnifiers, and for providing code areas there for machine-readable magnetic coding.
  • the security element has an opaque cover layer which is printed at least partially over its entire surface with at least one of the magnetic printing inks or is formed as an ink layer of at least one of the magnetic printing inks.
  • the magnetic coding is, for example, a motif print with cutouts, i.e. a so-called clear text or negative print, or a motif print in the form of characters and/or patterns.
  • a clear text or negative print with cutouts can, for example, also be produced using just one magnetic printing ink.
  • Fig. 1 shows a schematic plan view of a value document 100 which is provided with different security elements 10, which are preferably arranged in a defined position, in particular in register, relative to one another and with respect to the value document 100.
  • security elements 10 which are designed, for example, as a security thread 10a, window security thread 10b, security strip 10c or security patch 10d.
  • the value document 100 shown, for example, is a banknote with a cotton paper substrate into which the security thread 10a is embedded.
  • the security thread 10b is a so-called window thread, which is embedded in the substrate of the value document 100 in such a way that it is visible alternately on opposite sides of the value document 100 in windows 11b.
  • FIGS. 3 to 14 show security elements 10 with magnetic codings, which provide part of a visual security feature in the code areas C1, C2, C3, in particular the magnetic printing inks M1, M2 introduced in the code areas C1, C2 provide an optically variable security feature at least in part (see Figs. 3, 4 ).
  • the Moire Magnifier of the Fig. 3 further comprises a spacer layer 12, which is arranged between the relief structure 11 and an image layer 13 containing the image elements 16, as well as functional layers 14, 15.
  • the functional layer 14 for example, further machine-readable features can be incorporated in a manner not shown in detail.
  • the further functional layer 15 consists, for example, of an adhesive layer for the intended attachment of the security element 10 to the value document 100.
  • the image layer 13 consists of a transparent embossing lacquer in which micro-recesses 17 are embossed.
  • the image layer 13 can be formed from a translucent material.
  • the micro-recesses 17 are filled with at least one of the magnetic printing inks M1, M2 and form the image elements 16 as so-called microimages.
  • the functional layer 14 shown is designed as an opaque, i.e. essentially impermeable, cover layer.
  • the opaque cover layer is applied to the micro-optical relief structure 11 facing away from the surface with magnetic printing inks M1, M2, M3, so that these are barely visible or not visible at all on the visible side or when viewed from above and thus have little or no disruptive effect on the optically variable appearance of the optically variable security feature.
  • the surface printing with magnetic printing inks M1, M2, M3 enables the realization of larger code areas C1, C2, C3, which can be read reliably using common magnetic sensors.
  • the embodiment of the Fig. 4 comprises a functional layer formed as an opaque cover layer 19 of the magnetic printing ink M3 and defining at least one further, relatively large-area code area C3 of the magnetic coding.
  • the magnetic printing ink M3 preferably comprises magnetic pigments whose diameters are between 2 ⁇ m and 10 ⁇ m, particularly preferably between 3 ⁇ m and 5 ⁇ m.
  • Fig. 8 shows one of the Fig. 7 similar design in which the code areas C1, C2 are designed as diagonal stripes.
  • Fig. 13 shows a security element 10 in plan view, in which two strip-shaped code areas C1, C2 overlap in an overlapping section 26.
  • Fig. 14a to 14d show exemplary code areas C1, C2 of security elements 10 which are unevenly printed with magnetic printing inks M1, M2 or in to which the magnetic printing inks M1, M2 are applied in variable layer thicknesses.
  • the micro-cavities 17 of a moiré magnifier can be filled with magnetic printing inks M1, M2, as in particular the Figures 3 and 4 illustrate.
  • the magnetic printing inks M1, M2, M3 or their magnetic pigments are incorporated or applied into the code areas C1, C2, C3 in such a way that they are not visible, at least when viewed from above, onto the security element 10.
