2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, due to the widespread use of telephone cards, credit cards, tickets, prepaid cards, etc., and the conversion of commuter tickets and tickets to magnetic cards, it has been possible to use securities, certificates, ID cards and licenses. Countermeasures against forgery, which has been a problem, are required for these cards, and various measures are being taken. Various contrivances have been made to the software for recording and decoding for tampering with magnetic recording, which is often caused by counterfeiting or falsification of cards, but the reality is that there is no deciding effective because of the characteristic of rewritable magnetic recording. In addition, the punched holes showing the usage status are also modified so that the holes are cleverly closed, and measures to prevent the modification are urgently needed. The method of using an IC such as an IC card, which is a key factor in preventing forgery, alteration, and falsification, has a limited range of use because the card becomes thick due to the cost and the thickness of the IC itself. The ink used for printing on these cards, banknotes, printed matters such as securities, and bar codes has been devised to prevent forgery. A method is used in which ink mixed with magnetic powder, fluorescent ink, or ink that is invisible or difficult to see in visible light is used. In particular, a phosphor that emits infrared light is used for barcodes and cards (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. Sho 5).
3-60888), a near-infrared light absorbing dye is used (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 64-30788), and two or more kinds of near-infrared dyes having different absorption wavelength regions, or a visible light-absorbing dye ink and near-infrared absorption Color inks may be separately applied or overcoated (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 58-134782, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 3-53994,
3-173691) to make a printed portion such as a barcode inconspicuous. However, these methods merely make the bar code and the like of the printing section inconspicuous, and have the drawback that they are easily forged if the detection device and ink are analyzed. Further, at present, with respect to the alteration for closing the punch holes, which is currently a problem with various magnetic cards, the improvement of the detection device is the main measure, and there is no effective measure for the card itself. Further, recently, there have been increasing examples of printing usage records, balance display, etc. on various prepaid cards for the purpose of preventing fraud, but it is not a direct countermeasure against forgery or alteration. An object of the present invention is to solve the above problems and provide a recording material such as a magnetic card which is hard to be forged or altered and a recording method thereof.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail. The present invention provides an image receiving layer having poor solvent resistance so that a modification action performed by processing a card such as closing a punch hole with an adhesive can be easily detected, and there are currently few countermeasures. It is possible to substantially prevent alterations that block punch holes, and also to prevent forgery due to falsification of magnetic recording by recording information corresponding to magnetic recording such as usage records and collating with magnetic recording.

Recording on the image receiving layer is performed by recording the date and time, the amount of money, etc. by letters and numbers, as well as recording various images such as marks and patterns and signals such as bar codes, and reading these information. By making a comparison with magnetic recording, it becomes possible to detect tampering in the magnetic recording portion. For recording on the image receiving layer, various methods such as electrophotography, ink jet, and thermal transfer can be used. Among these methods, the electrophotographic method such as a laser printer is complicated and difficult to miniaturize, and is more disadvantageous than other methods for printing on a small area such as a card. There is a drawback that it takes time to dry. Therefore, either method can be used in the present invention, but for a card such as a prepaid card, the thermal transfer method is preferable from the viewpoint of simplicity of the apparatus and drying time.

The thickness of the substrate used in the present invention is usually 50.
Those having a range from 1 to 500 μm are often used. The thickness of the image receiving layer is 0.1 to 30 μm, preferably 1 to 20 μm, and the thickness of the intermediate layer is 0.1 to 10 μm, preferably 0.5 to 10 μm. The image receiving layer is colored with a dye,
It is possible to add a filler or pigment such as silica or titanium oxide, or to perform opacity or whitening treatment by foaming treatment or the like. Further, it is also possible to form characters, symbols, patterns or images on the entire image receiving layer or on the surface.
The formation of these images and the like is performed by various types of printing or printing by a printer. As the printer, an ink jet printer, a laser printer or the like can be used in addition to the thermal transfer printer. When printing or image formation on the image receiving layer is performed by a printer, it can also be performed at the time of information recording. By performing these treatments on the image receiving layer, for example,
It can be easily recognized when the image receiving layer is removed or deformed by mechanically rubbing the image receiving layer or rubbing with a solvent in order to make alterations to fill the punch holes or falsify the recording on the image receiving layer. Further, even in the case of optical recognition, it is possible to easily discern even a slight modification due to a change in reflectance and a change in image pattern condition.

These treatments can also be performed on the surface of the substrate. Treatment of the surface of the base material is performed on the surface of the base material before forming the image receiving layer or on the surface hardened layer formed to improve solvent resistance, etc., and in some cases, on the intermediate layer for improving the adhesiveness of the image receiving layer. You can also In this case, it is necessary to perform a treatment that is optically different from that of the image-receiving layer, and if the image-receiving layer is peeled off by this treatment, it is possible to more easily distinguish it. The surface treatment of the substrate in the present invention does not necessarily mean the treatment of the outermost surface of the substrate, and the treatment such as coloring and image treatment is performed on the inner layer of the substrate, and a protective layer or a protective layer is formed on top of it. Even if several layers such as a solvent layer are laminated, if they can be optically detected through these layers, they are included in the treatment of the substrate surface.

Various known dyes and pigments are used as dyes used for coloring the surface of the image receiving layer and the substrate and for forming characters and images. In addition to the usual dyes for visible light, near-infrared light is used. Absorption dyes, fluorescent dyes, phosphorescent dyes, photochromic dyes, thermochromic dyes and the like can also be used. Inorganic pigments such as carbon black pigments and inorganic fluorescent pigments can also be used.

Examples of the dye transferred to the image-receiving layer include the above-mentioned inorganic or organic pigments and dyes that can be used for heat transfer by melting, and organic dyes for heat transfer by sublimation. Since commercially available dyes for sublimation thermal transfer generally have low light absorption intensity in the near infrared light region, when the near infrared light absorbing dye is used for the image receiving layer or the substrate surface, the detection of both dyes can be performed separately. It has the advantage of being easy.

Recording of information on the image receiving layer is performed by recording usage of telephone cards and various prepaid cards.
Recording corresponding to recording on the magnetic recording layer, such as date and time, amount of money, and location, is performed by recording signals such as characters, patterns, images, or barcodes. It is possible to detect tampering of the magnetic recording by simultaneously reading and comparing these recordings when reading the magnetic recording. Conventionally, there is an example in which such a record is printed on a prepaid card, but since the record is made directly on the surface of the base material, it is not known if it is wiped off with a solvent and it is easy to falsify the record. On the other hand, tampering with the recorded contents in the image receiving layer as in the present invention is easy because the image receiving layer is easily removed or deformed by wiping with a solvent because the solvent resistance of the image receiving layer is poor. It is extremely difficult to tamper with the change in the state of the image receiving layer. If a part of the image receiving layer is wiped off with a solvent or the like, the pattern signal such as a pattern formed on the image receiving layer is changed or the absorption spectrum of the colored portion is changed, and these abnormalities can be easily detected. Further, it can be easily detected by detecting the surface of the substrate exposed by removing the image receiving layer.
As described above, it is apparent that the formation of the image receiving layer of the present invention makes it extremely difficult to irreversibly tamper with or alter the recording.

When a fluorescent dye, a phosphorescent dye, a photochromic dye, a thermochromic dye or the like is used, detection is performed while irradiating ultraviolet rays or heat rays suitable for the characteristics. In order to more reliably prevent tampering of information recording on the image receiving layer, it is preferable to protect the recording portion with a protective layer after information recording. The protective layer is formed by laminating a transparent film over the recording area and thermocompression bonding, and by laminating the thermal transfer layer provided on one side of the heat-resistant substrate on the recording area and applying a heat roll from the opposite side of the thermal transfer layer. Or a method of transferring the thermal transfer layer onto the recording portion by heating with a thermal head (Japanese Patent Publication No. 4-15).
Although 118) is performed, the latter is preferable as a method of forming the protective layer in a small area of the information recording portion. The resin used for the protective layer is preferably a resin that has good adhesiveness to the image receiving layer, has high mechanical strength, and has better solvent resistance than the image receiving layer, but the same resin as the image receiving layer can also be used. These resins include polyester resins, vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymer resins, polyacrylic resins, epoxy resins,
Examples thereof include polystyrene resin. The protective layer is preferably transparent, but it may be colored to the extent that it does not hinder the detection of recorded information.

The thermal transfer layer and the peeling layer can be formed in the same manner as the image receiving layer, and the film thickness thereof may be about 1 to 20 μm for the thermal transfer layer and about 0.1 to 5 μm for the peeling layer. If the image receiving layer is formed instead of the thermal transfer layer, the image receiving layer can be formed on the surface of the substrate by the same method as that for laminating the protective layer. In this case, in addition to forming the image receiving layer on the surface of the substrate in advance by the thermal transfer method, the image receiving layer can be formed at the time of recording information. In this case, first, the image receiving layer is formed by thermal transfer, and then information is recorded. The thermal transfer method is more advantageous than the coating method for forming an image receiving layer on a part of a card. The protective layer may be formed over the entire image receiving layer, but it is preferable to keep the image receiving layer portion around the information recording area and leave the image receiving layer portion where the protective layer is not formed for the reason described above for preventing alteration. The resin of the protective layer is a thermoplastic resin and is removed by solvent treatment, but since it has more solvent resistance than the image receiving layer, it requires considerable mechanical force and strong solvent treatment to remove the protective layer. As a result, the surface of the substrate including the image receiving layer is considerably disturbed, and the state can be easily optically detected, and the effect of preventing alteration is great.

INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY According to the present invention, punching is performed by recording information on an image-receiving layer having a solvent resistance lower than that of a substrate, laminating and protecting a protective layer, and detecting the recorded contents and the state of the image-receiving layer at the time of use. In the case of alterations such as filling holes with adhesives, the image receiving layer part is easily affected by the solvent, and the change can be easily detected, and the printed part is protected by the protective layer, and it cannot be rewritten unless the protective layer is destroyed. Even if the magnetic recording is falsified, it can be easily discriminated by collating it with the recording on the image receiving layer, and it is extremely effective for preventing falsification, forgery and alteration of a card or the like, which has been difficult in the past. Further, according to the present invention, the use record of a prepaid card or the like can be visibly recorded, so that it is much clearer than the display using the punch holes, and the convenience for the user is greatly improved.
