Definitions

  • the invention relates to a security feature in the form of a luminescent marking for incorporation into a recording material and to a heat-sensitive recording material in which a security feature of the proposed type is incorporated.
  • Recording materials determine daily life in society and in professional life. For the use of recording materials, the authorized use of which is generally to be demonstrated by a specific marking of the material approved for this purpose, various solutions of authenticity-proofing security features have already been proposed in the past.
  • a watermark in the original sense is understood to mean a drawing in the paper that is caused by different paper thicknesses.
  • a distinction is made between genuine watermarks which are produced by displacement (so-called light watermarks) or by enrichment (so-called shadow watermarks) of the fiber mass, for example using a dandy cutter in the wire section of a paper machine, so-called molten watermarks.
  • the DE 690 01 677 T2 the proposal for a synthetic print carrier with pseudo watermark, which is a substrate made of plastic, at least one, preferably by means of gravure applied, the opacity of the print carrier changing authentication or safety mark and at least one printable pigment coating covering the mark.
  • the monochrome or polychrome character should hardly be visible in reflected light, but should be clearly visible in transmitted light.
  • a disadvantage of the known print carrier is that the printed pseudo watermark can be forged relatively easily, which can not be prevented even by simple pigment coatings to be applied thereto.
  • thermosensitive recording materials having authenticity-proofing security features in the form of spurious and fluorescent watermarks are also known.
  • EP 0 844 097 A1 for a thermosensitive recording material as a first security feature, a latent image printed on the back surface of the recording material, which is prepared by means of a fluorescent ink containing a fluorescent reagent.
  • the security ink contains a water-repellent agent.
  • the thus constructed security ink with the fluorescent reagent in the form of pigment or dye and with the water-repellent agent is contained or dispersed in an aqueous vehicle, which may contain a binder other than these components.
  • the disadvantage of this proposal is first that the water-repellent character of the security ink complicates the often common arrangement of pictorial Vorbedruckieux or labels by means of the usual printing process.

  • the loss of opacity is explained by the different refractive indexes of the plastic wall of the cavity pigments and the air in the interior of the non-fused cavity pigments.
  • the radiation layer and the masking layer of the proposed security feature should have the same color, since at the heat treated areas the masking layer becomes transparent and releases the view of the radiation layer arranged below it.
  • the color for the radiation layer and for the masking layer of the proposed security feature is particularly suitable for whitening, since the masking layer is already white because of the non-fused state of white cavity pigments without the addition of further pigments or colors.
  • the proposed security feature can also be used without restriction with a bright coloring of the radiation layer and the masking layer and is consequently regarded as a possible form of the proposed security feature.

  • a masking layer is applied to the intermediate layer using a roller blade coater and dried with 16.67% by weight of (atro) binder and 83.33% by weight of voided pigments. In this case, the percentages are based on the total weight (atro) of the finished masking layer whose basis weight is 2.5 g / m 2 .
  • the finished paper is fed to a thermal printer.
  • the cavity pigments of the masking layer are partially fused by the printhead of the thermal printer according to a predetermined check pattern to form areas in the masking layer with fused cavity pigments and areas of unfused cavity pigments. Under daylight, the paper coated with radiation and masking layer appears uniformly white.
  • the paper with substrate already used in Example 1, the intermediate layer formed as a radiation layer and the masking layer applied thereon are provided with a heat-sensitive recording layer which is applied to the masking layer over its entire area with a basis weight of 4 g / m 2 .
  • the heat-sensitive recording layer comprises 13.89% by weight of binder, 27.78% by weight of color acceptor, and 58.33 of encapsulated dye precursors.
  • encapsulation in the DE 198 54 866 A1 described method has been used.
  • a UV-curable protective layer of 2 g / m 2 has been applied by flexographic printing. The thus-finished heat-sensitive recording paper is fed to a thermal printer.
  • the cavity pigments of the masking layer are partially fused according to a predetermined stripe pattern by the printhead of the thermal printer at a temperature T 1 of 101 ° C, so that areas in the masking layer with fused Hohlraumpigmenten and areas with unfused Hohlraumpigmenten arise.
  • a temperature T 2 of 145 ° C a predetermined typeface is formed in the heat-sensitive recording layer by the printhead of the thermal printer.

  • a predetermined typeface is formed in the heat-sensitive recording layer by the printhead of the thermal printer.
  • the heat sensitive recording paper appears uniformly white with thermo typed image.
  • UV light strong fluorescence can be seen at the areas of the masking layer in which the cavity pigments are fused together by the heat input of the printhead of the thermal printer.
  • the fluorescence originates from the fluorescent constituents of the intermediate layer, whose emitted light rays can be recognized by the transparent regions of the masking layer with the cavity pigments fused there.
