MANUFACTURING SECURITY DOCUMENTS BY INTAGLIO-PRINTING A THREE-DIMENSIONAL OBJECT

Absstract of: WO2026109150A1

A method is provided for manufacturing a security document by intaglio-printing a rendering of a three-dimensional object on the security document. The method comprises at least the following: S1) providing a model (1) of the object with a plurality of surfaces (A, B, C, D) in three-dimensional space; S2) attributing, to each point on the surfaces (A, B, C, D), a grayscale or color value; S3) using mapping functions (M) for mapping the surfaces (A, B, C, D) into two-dimensional parameter spaces, thereby defining grayscale or color images (2) in the parameter spaces, wherein the grayscale or color value of each point in said images is given by the grayscale or color of the point on the surface corresponding to the point of the image; S4) rendering, in the parameter spaces, the grayscale or color images (2) as halftone images (3) using halftone patterns, wherein at least some of the halftone patterns are different from each other; S5) using inverses of the mapping functions for mapping the halftone images (3) as textures onto the surfaces (A, B, C, D); S6) projecting the model with the surfaces (A, B, C, D) carrying the textures into a two-dimensional printing plane using a three-dimensional projection (P), thereby projecting said halftone images (3) and textures into the printing plane; S7) rendering, within the printing plane, the surfaces (A, B, C, D) with the textures into a two-dimensional array of printing pixels and forming an intaglio printing plate (5) with recesses co

SECURITY FEATURE, PRINTING INK, VALUE DOCUMENT AND VALUE DOCUMENT SYSTEM

Absstract of: WO2025021692A1

The invention relates to a security feature for securing a value document, wherein the safety feature is based on an ESR-active substance and a luminescent substance, wherein the ESR-active substance and the luminescent substance are either the same substance or different substances, wherein - the luminescent substance emits in the IR wavelength range, is based on a host lattice with garnet structure or perovskite structure and has rare earth metals with a rare earth metal content of ≥2.0 %; - the ESR-active substance has an ESR-active transition metal; - the ESR-active substance has an ESR signal with a g value of <1.9 or >2.1, is based on a transition-metal-containing host lattice with garnet structure or perovskite structure, has a transition metal content of the ESR-active transition metal of ≥5 % and contains rare earth metals, wherein the rare earth metal content is ≥2.0 % and <13.0 % in the event of a garnet structure, and ≥2.0 % and <18.0 % in the event of a perovskite structure.

PERSONALIZABLE SECURITY DOCUMENT AND METHOD OF PERSONALIZING THE SAME

Absstract of: EP4748584A1

0001 A personalizable security document (10) includes a first window (6) and at least one second window (3) formed in an opaque substrate layer (31) of a substrate (1). A laser-engravable material layer (2) is provided on another substrate layer (32) such that it overlaps the first window (6), but does not overlap the at least one second window (3). When an image (12) is laser engraved in the layer of laser-engravable material (2), this image can be seen together with a shape that is defined by an overlap region between the at least one second window (3) and the region in which the layer of laser-engravable material (2) is not provided. Accordingly, different security features can be interlocked with each other. A third window (2a) in the layer of laser-engravable material (2) is provided. A portion (1a) of the substrate is visible through the third window and the second window.
