Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for generating a high marginal edge sharpness in printing elements produced in gravure printing, in particular filigree elements such as letters, characters, motifs, symbols and the like, which simultaneously have an anti-counterfeiting protection.
  • the method should be able to be used in particular for the production of packaging, for example flexible packaging films, plastic containers and container covers and the like.
  • the outline is usually introduced in its definition already in the electronic image processing.
  • elements that are to be provided with a grid are defined with ⁇ 95% and the outline area, ie the area with a sharp edge at 100%.
  • the sharp edge usually has a width of 1 to 20 ⁇ m depending on the requirements, in most cases outlines of a width of 5 to 10 ⁇ m are produced.
  • a native file produced in the usual Illustrator, ArtPro or PACKZ or similar program is converted into an EPS file and converted into an Opo file. This conversion is necessary to perform the splitting function between grid area ( ⁇ 95%) and outline (100%) automatically. However, this function is only applicable to linework elements (stroke elements) and not to halftone elements.
  • the opacity mask is a simplistic image-shaping tool that greatly simplifies the creation of data files, so that this feature should also be preserved in image processing.
  • EP 0477442A For example, there is known a method of making such a sharp border or outline in letters, wherein the outline of the letters is formed by continuous groove-shaped cells and the inner area of the letters by punctate cells.
  • the corresponding printing tool is produced by laser engraving.
  • the outline (the sharp edge) is introduced into the vector data.
  • Out JP 3829216 B A method for producing an outline is known in which a line drawing template is integrated in a bitmap image by means of a high-resolution flatbed scanner. The outline of a line drawing image is then provided as vector data and the printing tool is produced accordingly.
  • the object of the invention was to provide a security element and a method of producing it, which has sharp edges (outlines) of printing elements, in particular halftone elements, which are produced in the intaglio printing method, and optionally additionally a forgery-proof feature is produced.
  • the method should be particularly suitable for the production of packaging, in particular flexible packaging films of plastics or metallic foils, plastic containers and container covers made of plastic films or metallic or metallized carrier substrates.
  • the invention therefore provides a security element for packaging, wherein the security element has a carrier substrate, characterized in that the security element is a printed security feature in the form of letters, logos, characters, numbers, symbols, motifs and the like, wherein the security feature is present as a halftone element and has at least partially a sharp edge (outline) has formed and the security element may have a fractal halftone image as another security feature.
  • the security element according to the invention has on a Strombtrat at least one printed security feature that is generated by gravure printing or another known printing method, such as flexo, offset, screen, digital printing or the like.
  • flexible carrier films are preferably plastic films, for example, PI, PP, MOPP, PE, PPS, PEEK, PEK, PEI, PSU, PAEK, LCP, PEN, PBT, PET, PA, PC, COC, POM, ABS, PVC , PTFE, ETFE (ethylene tetrafluoroethylene), PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene), PVF (polyvinyl fluoride), PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride), and EFEP (ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene-hexafluoropropylene fluoropolymer).
  • the carrier films preferably have a thickness of 5 to 700 .mu.m, preferably 5 to 200 .mu.m, particularly preferably 5 to 50 .mu.m.
  • thermally activated paper or composites with paper such as composites with plastics having a basis weight of 20 - 500 g / m 2 , preferably 40 - 200 g / m 2 . be used.
  • woven or nonwovens such as continuous fiber webs, staple fiber webs and the like, which may optionally be needled or calendered, may be used as the carrier substrates.
  • fabrics or webs of plastics such as PP, PET, PA, PPS and the like, but it can also be woven or nonwovens made of natural, optionally treated fibers, such as viscose fibers are used.
  • the nonwovens or fabrics used have a weight per unit area of about 20 g / m 2 to 500 g / m 2 . If necessary, the nonwovens or fabrics must be surface-treated.
  • the carrier substrate is printed, for example by gravure printing with at least one security feature.
  • a security feature fragile elements in the form of letters, logos, characters, numbers, symbols, motifs and the like are preferably suitable.
  • a TIFF file is created in electronic image processing.
  • this has a resolution of 320 to 25600 dpi, more preferably 3200 to 12800 dpi.
  • a threshold is then defined, from which on the halftone element a sharp edge (outline) is added.
  • the threshold is preferably 90-95%.
  • a halftone element has information between 0 and 100%. In the range between 96 and 100%, no visual difference is generally discernible. For example, this range is calculated at 95%. As a result, no visual difference is recognizable, the image information contained in the range of 96-100% is compressed so to speak, whereby a sharp edge is formed.
  • the halftone element may be a halftone image and / or a text consisting of letters, numbers or the like.
  • two threshold values are defined, on the one hand the upper limit for full-tone representation, and on the other hand the lower limit for white.
  • the threshold values are dependent on the saturation of the image content, in particular on the expression of the black channel.
  • the Line width for the fractal halftone image which is finally in the form of a line image defined.
  • a corresponding data file is created in the electronic image processing with the elements to be printed, wherein for the sharp edge or even for the representation of a fractal halftone image, the half-tone representation is converted into a stroke representation.
  • the fractal halftone image is preferably created from a motif or from an image.
  • individual motifs can be processed according to customer requirements.
  • individual fractal halftone images can be created, which are then unique, for example, for a specific packaging.
  • an increased security against counterfeiting is achieved, the fractal halftone image is then clearly attributable, for example, to a defined packaging for a defined product.
  • the choice of the threshold value also depends on the chosen motif. In general, it is advantageously placed in the area where the main modulation is to be found.
  • the proof of a forgery of the fractal half-image can be done in a simple manner.
  • the fractal image is scanned in with a high resolution scanner and the pixels of that image are compared to the pixels of the original image using conventional comparison software such as Esko Graphics Viewer, Global Vision, EyeC, Gradient Pixelproof or the like.
  • conventional comparison software such as Esko Graphics Viewer, Global Vision, EyeC, Gradient Pixelproof or the like.
  • a method is preferably used in which a corresponding printing cylinder with the aid of the laser or Electron beam technology according to the desired patterns, images, lines, letters, shapes and the like is illustrated.
  • the data file produced as described above is then exposed to a prepared printing cylinder in a corresponding exposure system.
  • a gravure cylinder with a core of iron tube with wall thickness about 20 mm and the following layers: 5-7 microns nickel layer, about 300 microns copper layer; existing photosensitive layer with the corresponding patterns; Shapes, lines, letters in the form of the previously defined grid are illustrated, developed and etched.
  • the coating of the cylinder is carried out in the usual way with a Kunststoffübertragungsrad, or by spraying, rolling, brushing, dipping, or by a curtain coating method, preferably in a layer thickness of 2-10 microns with a commercially available photosensitive composition-for example, LD 100, Fa. OHKA Kogyo Ltd or TSER-2104 E4 Fa. Think Laboratory.

  • the development takes place after the exposure in the usual manner, for example, contactless with sodium carbonate (0.5% solution), this is usually followed by a cleaning process with water, after which the cylinder is dried.
  • the image, patterns, shapes and the like defined by the laser or electron beam imaging become visible the surface of the cylinder is reflected.
  • the etching can be carried out in various ways, for example by means of a Fe (III) chloride solution or a Cu (II) chloride solution, optionally with the addition of HCl or H2SO4. If appropriate, commercially available and known additives for flank protection can also be added to the etching solution.
  • the duration of the action of the etchant depends on the etchant used and is for example when using a Cu-chloride solution with the addition of an acid about 90-2400 sec.
  • the cylinder looks blunt and visually dark after the etching process.
  • a surface treatment with electrolytic or chemical shining the impression structure can be refined and a brilliant surface can be produced.

  • the corresponding angles of the stylus are selected depending on the above-mentioned desired properties of the desired structure.
  • the AC voltage can be deactivated or modulated.
  • the modulation of the AC voltage can be modulated amplitude or envelope curves. This makes it possible by modulation of the DC voltage different depths, for example, in 256 different depths to introduce into the cylinder: Through this modification no longer arranged in the grid cells are generated, but the cylinder is structured. As a result, the corresponding webs can be introduced in point form.
