Definitions

  • the invention relates to devices and methods for preventing the falsification of statements affixed either by printing or manually to a printed document.
  • the type of falsification targeted by the device of the invention is specifically the alteration of initial data, which are replaced by others, which serve the purposes of the fraudster.
  • the documents covered by the present protection system are, in particular, authentic or authenticated documents, checks, traveler's checks, certificates, identity documents, lottery tickets, titles, etc.
  • the substrate on which these documents are printed will therefore go from normal paper to plastic card, through special paper, watermark, etc.
  • fraudsters start from a worthless document (or of lesser value) and alter by scrubbing or scraping some initial data that interferes with them (nominal value of a check, lottery number, name of beneficiary, etc.) to replace them with others.
  • EP 0 184 529 describes the use of an ink absorbing substrate used by the variable data.
  • Another method consists in giving a relief to the surface of the substrate in particular by the process of soft-cutting (intaglio), which forces the fraudsters to further alter the surface of the substrate.
  • An object of the invention is that an attempt at fraud is easily detectable, even to a little exercised.
  • Another object of the invention is the development of a relatively inexpensive method, which can be easily extended to many types of documents.
  • the object of the invention is a device for protecting against falsification of data carried on a printed document in which, at least in a zone intended to affix the variable data, the document comprises at least one raised pattern, obtained by one of the following methods: screen printing, flexography, rotogravure. This relief is due exclusively to the thickness of the ink layer used to form this pattern.
  • the embossed pattern is affixed either above or below the data to be protected.
  • the ink used preferably contains optical effect pigments; the optical effect is advantageously an iridescence or an opalescence.
  • the operation b can be performed after the operation g, the sequence being as follows: a, c, d, e, f, g, b
  • the printing process is preferably selected from the following methods: screen printing, flexography, gravure printing.
  • the polymerization is activated by an energy supply by electromagnetic radiation, selected from the following: infrared, UV, microwave.
  • Fig. 1 shows the effect of scratching in the case of a conventional printed document on flat substrate 8.
  • a "variable datum” 4 also alters an underlying printed pattern 6, leaving a "white zone” that the fraudster is obliged to maintain. make up to conceal the falsification.
  • Fig. 2 shows the effect of scraping in the case of an embossed substrate 9: the fraudster is brought, during scraping, to penetrate the surface of the embossed substrate 9.
  • Fig. 3 shows the result of an attempt to falsify a document protected by the device of the invention.
  • a pattern 10 is superimposed on the data at 4. This pattern 10 appears in relief because it is formed of an ink deposited in a thick layer 12.
  • the data to be protected 4 is closely related to the reason 10 and it is impossible to proceed with selective scraping. Any attempt to falsify automatically causes a three-dimensional destruction of the pattern 10. It is impossible for the fraudster, even if he had an ink comprising pigments reproducing a color comparable to that of the ink used (which is not already not so easy), to restore the effect given by the relief of the ink layer 12 of the device of the invention.
  • an ink containing, in addition to the pigments and a certain quantity of solvents, polymerizable materials ("varnishes", monomers), which is deposited on the appropriate substrate in using a printing process for the transfer of a thick ink layer and the use of large pigments.
  • These methods include, typically, screen printing, flexography and gravure printing.
  • the current practice in printing is that, in order to obtain the maximum optical effect of the pigments dispersed in the ink, the ink layer is as thin as possible, and therefore practically two-dimensional. A thin layer also has the advantage of making scraping more difficult.
  • a dark and opaque pattern is avoided: it is preferable to use a delicate pattern such as a guilloche pattern (typically width of the order of 0.1 to 0.2 mm, equally spaced), more difficult to reproduce, and made with transparent or translucent inks, for example loaded with pigments producing a particular optical effect when they are are viewed from a certain angle, such as iridescence or opalescence.
  • a delicate pattern such as a guilloche pattern (typically width of the order of 0.1 to 0.2 mm, equally spaced), more difficult to reproduce, and made with transparent or translucent inks, for example loaded with pigments producing a particular optical effect when they are are viewed from a certain angle, such as iridescence or opalescence.
  • the apposition of the ink layer has been performed over the data item to be protected 4, the own apposition of which is included in the printing process of the substrate 8.
  • the data to be protected 4 may itself be a piece of data authenticating the document, such as a holographic image, whose mere presence (even if impaired) may be sufficient for an observer who is not very attentive to concluding that a document is authentic.
  • the most typical case is that of a data item written by hand (signature, etc.).
  • the reliefs formed by the thick layer 12 are crushed locally at the time of handwriting.
  • the deletion, as careful as it is, of the data to be protected 4 can not hide the presence of "damaged" reliefs 16, which makes it possible to easily locate a falsified document.
