Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent forgery, facilitate discrimination, and improve light fastness by the use of fluorescent ink consisting of three colors of red, green, and blue in printed images that emit fluorescence through irradiation with UV rays, and permitting ink to be either an aggretate of dots or at least a superimposition of two colors or more, or both of them. SOLUTION: When observed by the use of a UV ray irradiation device that emits UV rays (referred to only UV rays hereinafter) having a wavelength of 400 nm or lower mainly and a peak in 365 nm or 253.7 nm, a fluorochrome head printed image 3 is raised which is visible, and has a superior hue. When further observed in use of a magnifying glass, in a dot-portion having no ink superimposition such as a background color, each fluorescence emits in (primary color), and in an ink superimposition of the head printed image, each fluorescence emits in a secondary color or tertiary color. Since image printing can be performed into a certificate or the like individually by using an inorganic fluorescent body that lights by UV rays, forgery becomes hard. Also, since an inorganic type one as a fluorescent body is used, its printed image has superior lightfastness.

(2) Recently, there is a certificate that can verify the individual who imprinted a photograph of the head of each individual, but since a general dye (no color change) is used, another imprint is read by a CCD camera. By outputting the imprint by a color printer, another certificate or card can be easily forged. (3) The printing of fluorescent dye on a card for an individual such as a credit card is not different for each owner, but the same pattern is printed. Therefore, it is difficult to identify an individual by fluorescent printing.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve these problems, the present invention provides a card for an individual such as a credit card and a certificate capable of verifying an owner such as a passport, a license or an employee ID card. Wherein an image such as a pattern or an image which emits fluorescence when irradiated with ultraviolet light is composed of fluorescent ink of three colors of red, green and blue, and the ink forming these images is an aggregate of dots and at least 2 The printed matter was made of one or both of superimposed colors or more, and using a white inorganic phosphor as the ink.

The above-mentioned inorganic phosphors (pigments) are excellent in light resistance, heat resistance, and solvent resistance, but have a problem of low coloring power. However, the white inorganic phosphor does not absorb a specific visible ray when irradiated with ultraviolet rays, and further, at the interface or inside of the phosphor particles, irregular reflection or scattering of the ultraviolet rays on the incident surface, the inside of the particles. In this case, an action such as wavelength energy conversion of a part of ultraviolet rays (ultraviolet light → fluorescence emission) and irregular reflection or scattering on the exit surface of the remaining ultraviolet rays occur.

For this reason, since the phosphor particles are contained in a large amount in the ink, the ultraviolet light whose wavelength energy has not been converted proceeds to the deep part of the ink while repeating the above-mentioned operations with other particles, and the wavelength energy conversion is efficiently performed. This has the advantage of emitting fluorescent light and of being less affected by the underlying color. The present inventors have conducted extensive studies mainly using ultraviolet light having a wavelength of 400 nm or less and a peak wavelength of 365 nm or 253.7 nm (hereinafter, simply referred to as ultraviolet light). When the fluorescent material has an XYZ color system, x of the red phosphor is 0.55 to 0.70, more preferably 0.57 to 0.68, and y is 0.25 to 0.35. Preferably 0.28-
0.33 x of the green phosphor is preferably 0.05 to 0.35, more preferably 0.10 to 0.30, and y is 0.50 to 0.75, more preferably 0.55 to 0.75.
0.72 In the blue phosphor, x is 0.10 to 0.20, more preferably 0.12 to 0.18, y is 0.01 to 0.25, and still more preferably 0.02 to 0.25.
It was revealed that a clear fluorescent full-color image can be obtained by forming an image using an ink containing a phosphor having a chromaticity characteristic in the range of 0.15. If the amount deviates from these ranges, it becomes difficult to express the secondary colors cyan, magenta, yellow and the tertiary color white, and a good fluorescent image cannot be obtained.

[0008] In order to discriminate whether or not an individual's hidden seal image matches that of the individual, it is preferable that the judgment can be made with the naked eye. From such a viewpoint, the basis weight (pigment basis weight) of the white inorganic phosphor contained in the fluorescent ink ribbon is 0.4 g / m 2.
If it is less than 2 , the fluorescence intensity is not sufficient, and it becomes difficult to visually recognize the fluorescent image obtained when irradiating with ultraviolet rays. Therefore, 0.4 g / m 2 or more, more preferably 1 g / m 2
The pigment basis weight is preferably at least m 2 .

However, when a printed image such as a pattern is read by a reading device, the sensor is generally sufficiently sensitive compared to the naked eye, so that reading is possible even with a smaller amount than the lower limit. The present invention can be used for such a reading device. When the pigment basis weight is increased, the fluorescent image becomes clearer, so it is preferable to introduce more pigment. However, since inorganic phosphors are expensive, even in the case of judgment by the naked eye, 10 g / m 2 is a standard for the upper limit of pigment basis weight in consideration of performance and cost.

The dotted line in the figure indicates the head image position. However, upon irradiation with ultraviolet light, a clear and well-colored image was obtained. Subsequently, the same head image 4 was formed with a commercially available MD color ink ribbon at a position slightly shifted from the image. This was cut into a business card size and observed under visible light and ultraviolet irradiation. Under visible light, a head image 4 of a general ink color emerged, and under ultraviolet irradiation, a fluorescent color head image 3 emerged. Went up.

As described above, according to the present invention,
Since an image of a person or a head is individually provided on a card or certificate owned by an individual using an inorganic phosphor that emits ultraviolet light, forgery becomes difficult. By using an inorganic phosphor having a white appearance, a white hidden pattern can be obtained under visible light. Further, since the inorganic type is used as the phosphor, the printed image is excellent in light resistance. Furthermore, by utilizing thermal transfer printing as the image forming means, individual images can be easily formed by individuals.
