- Printing objects of the first row on the substrate sheet to be provided with successive identification marks, as well as each of the printing objects in the subsequent series, wherein the marking values of the identification marks of a last printed object in a row and a first printed object in the subsequent row follow each other. If, as in the above example, a plurality of identification marks are to be applied in the area of a printed object, these are identical.
- the numbering units are to be mounted and controlled on the holding element in such a way that they can imprint the identification marks on the printed objects on the printing sheet as explained.
- the number works are located on the rotatable support member, for example, in a relative arrangement to each other, which corresponds to that of the print objects on the printing material, ie when unrolling the printing forme device on the substrate results in the relative arrangement of the markers in the arrayed pressure fields.

- the marking values of all the numbering works are set to new values, the lowest value now being one unit higher than the highest marking value of the preceding printed substrate sheets.
- the positions of either all the numbering works can be independently adjustable. Or only the positions of some of the numbering works are adjustable, while the positions of others are not adjustable.
- the positions of number works located in a central transport area on the holding element can be fixed (not adjustable), while the positions of number works located in the edge area can be adjusted.
- the positions of all the numbering mechanisms are adjustable, some numbering units are not equipped with corresponding actuators, so that they can only be fine-tuned manually.
- the fact is taken into account that it is to be expected that deviations of the determined positions from the desired positions are significant only in the edge region of the printing material, while the deviations in the middle region are relatively small.
- the printing forme device can be used for use in a printing unit for direct high pressure.
- the printing unit in addition to at least one printing forme cylinder (printing forme device) provided with the numbering units, the printing unit in each case has a counterpressure roller and at least one inking unit, wherein the printing unit is designed such that the ink originating from the at least one inking unit acts on the at least one printing forme device and from there to the printing material.
- the indirect high pressure can be used (Letterset).
- the printing unit in addition to at least one provided with the numbering printing block cylinder (printing forme device) each have an inking unit that supplies color to the numbering works, also a blanket cylinder (transfer roller) to which the number works transferred the color and from the color on the substrate is transferred, and a pressure cylinder (counter-pressure roller) on. If you want to print with a single color, it is sufficient that only one inking unit and one printing forme cylinder are provided. For multi-color printing, multiple inking units and printing forme devices must be provided according to the number of colors.
- the printing object can be designed so that the marking fields are not true of one in the visible spectral range. but detectable in another spectral range, for example in the IR or UV range, so that the position of an identification mark printed in the marking field can be easily detected without the material surrounding and thus indicating the marking field visually is perceptible.
- the actual position of the identification mark is easily detected by the contrast of the identification mark, which can be detected in the corresponding spectral range, with respect to the material surrounding the marking field.
- the material may be in a surface area immediately adjacent to the marker field. It can be incorporated into the substrate or applied to this, for example, printed on his.

- Fig. 8 shows an inventive printing form apparatus in an isometric schematic view
- FIG. 9 shows a detail of a printing form device according to the invention in a schematic sectional view.
- the back side 102 of a banknote 100 (value document) shown in FIG. 1 is produced in the usual way by imprinting a printed image (printed object) 101 on a printing material 105, here a cotton paper.
- This banknote 100 has an identification mark 200 in the form of a serial number of alphanumeric characters for its unambiguous identification on the rear side 102 shown, wherein the serial number 200 consists of two leading ones
- the serial number 200 is printed in full length in a first marker field 310 in the upper right corner area of the banknote 100.
- a fragment 200 'of the serial number 200 which is formed of the last six digits thereof, is located in a second marker field 320 approximately in the middle in the lower half of the banknote 100.
- Such banknotes 100 are first made in multiple-use 500, for example in a 5 x 8 matrix, by forming a 720 mm x 650 mm printed sheet 500 having eight rows 520 of five print fields / banknotes 510.xx (in five columns 530) becomes (Fig. 2).
- the printed print images 101 (FIG. 1) are printed in the corresponding print fields 510.xx.
- 8500 sheets are produced 500 per hour at a linear speed of 1, 5 to 3 m / s.
- In each of the print fields 510.xx are the two marker fields 310, 320 for the markers 200, 200 ', which are only indicated here.
- the tolerance for the positioning of the markers 200, 200 'on the individual banknotes 100 is for example 1, 2 mm.
- the sheet material is rolled out. This results in a trapezoidal shape, with the longer base side of the trapezoid forming the leading edge 501, 501 '(in the transporting direction T in the printing machine) (FIG. 4, distortion shown relative to the transport path TB).
- the numbering units 800 of the printing form apparatus 700 (FIG. 8) attaching the markings 200, 200 'at predetermined positions on the printing sheet 500, 500', the markings 200, 200 'can easily occur in the marking fields 310, 320 but partially printed outside these fields 310, 320 ( Figure 3).
- the printing method used for the number printing is the letter set printing method, which is an indirect high-pressure method. Alternatively, a direct printing method can be used.
- a printing device 600 suitable for the letter set printing method is shown schematically in FIG. 5: The printed sheet 500, 500 'is interposed from above a pressure cylinder (counter-pressure roller) 610 and a blanket cylinder 620 passed, wherein the counter-pressure roller 610 presses the signature 500, 500 'to the blanket cylinder 620.
- An inking unit 630 supplies via intermediate transfer rollers 640 ink to the printing plate cylinder 700 (printing forme device) which carries the numbering machines 800.
- the raised areas 81 1 of the marking elements 810 (FIGS.
- the printing form cylinder 700 has the number of works 800.
- Such numbering 800 are known. A typical number 800 is described in DE 20 2007 019 477 U1. An isometric view of such a numbering 800 is shown in FIG.
- This numbering 800 has a plurality of juxtaposed dials 815 with raised areas 81 1 with alphanumeric symbols on the front sides.
- the numbered disks 815 are rotatably mounted on an axle 820.
- the discs 815 are each driven by a geared reduction motor 830 so that the position of each disc 815 can be individually adjusted.
- the printing form cylinder 700 is equipped in the present case with 40 numbering units 800 which sit in an arrangement on a roller 710 which corresponds to the matrix-like arrangement of the banknotes 100 on the printed sheet 500, namely in eight rows of five numbering units 800 (FIG. 8th).
- the numbering units 800 form segments of the jacket of the printing form cylinder, but these segments do not necessarily cover the entire jacket, but only the angular range in the circumferential direction, which corresponds to the extension of all rows 520 of printing fields 510.xx on the printing substrate 105 (FIG. 7).
- FIGS. 7, 8 do not show that there are minimum distances between the individual numbering units 800, which ensure that the positions of the numbering mechanisms 800 can be adjusted independently of one another parallel to the lateral surface 71 1 of the roller 710.
- the number plates 815 of the numbering machines 800 project beyond the periphery of the rollers.
- seat rings (retaining element rings) 720 are mounted on the roller 710 with a diameter of, for example, 140 mm (not shown).
- the outer diameter of the seat rings 720 is 220 mm, for example.
- These seat rings 720 surround the roller 710 and have an output for each number 800 they carry. 721 as sliding guide in the form of a dovetail guide parallel to the surface line of the roller 710 (FIG. 9).
- the numbering machines 800 themselves are equipped for this purpose with a complementary dovetail 840, which is held in the dovetail guide 721.
- the adjustment can be made by means of an actuator 850, for example a servomotor, which is located below the respective numbering 800 within the roller and receives an actuating pulse from the outside.
- Actuator 850 acts via a driver tongue 860 of the numbering works 800 passing through a slot in seat ring 720.
- the plate cylinder 700 having printing works cylinder 800 has a diameter of, for example, 370 mm.
- the numbering units 800 of the printing plate cylinder 700 are initially adjusted, for example, to successive marking values, eg YA123456770, YA123456771, YA123456772, ... from a first row of the number works 800, which print marks in the banknote printing fields 510.1 1, 510.12, 510.13 at the leading edge 501 of the print sheet 500, and within the rows from left to right to the last row, so that the print fields 510.81, 510.82, 510.83, 510.84, 510.85 of the last series 520 of the sheet 500 the marking values ..., YA123456808,
- the first printing sheet 500 After the first printing sheet 500 is provided with the marking values, it passes through a camera (sensor) 900, which reproduces the printing sheet 500 and passes the obtained data to an image processing unit 910 (FIG. 4), wherein the actual positions of the printed marks 200, 200 'be detected. If individual of the markers 200, 200 'are not arranged completely within the marking fields 310, 320 provided for this purpose or are already approaching an edge of the fields, electrical setting pulses 920 are passed to the actuators 850 of the numbering units 800 of the printing form device 700, which correspond to the position of the corresponding Print fields 510.xx on the sheet 500 correspond. As a result, the positions of these numbering units 800 are adjusted.
- This positional adjustment is made before the next (second) signature 500 'is provided with the markers 200, 200'. Further, the marking values of the number plates 800 are changed before printing on the next (second) signature 500 'so that they now start with the next not yet printed label value, thus according to the above example starting with YA12345681 1, YA123456812, YA123456813, ... and ending with ..., YA123456848, YA123456849, YA123456850. As a result of the positional adjustment of the number plates 800, these markings 200, 200 'are printed exactly in the marking fields 310, 320 provided for this purpose, so that the required tolerances are maintained.
- the numbering at 40 uses per sheet can be carried out as follows: on a first sheet, the print fields become 510.xx with the sequence
- the print fields 510.xx are accordingly printed with an ending digit '2'. Accordingly, the following sheets are printed.
- the hundredth sheet is printed with YA000000100, YA000000200, ... to YA000003900, YA000004000.
- Sheet 101 begins with the numbering YA000004001.
- the following marks are numbered YA000004101, ... to YA000007801, YA000007901.
- Sheet 200 is numbered YA000004100, YA000004200, ... to YA000007900, YA000008000.
