The invention relates to improvements in paper, and in particular to the use of watermarks alone or with embossings for strengthening paper sheets and documents made therefrom. The invention therefore provides a sheet having corners and sides joined at said corners, wherein corner reinforcing watermarks are provided at at least two of said corners, and at least one of which reinforcing watermarks has a border, at least a section of which has a complementary shape with respect to and is located close to at least a section of a border of a further watermark. The watermarks may additionally or alternatively be provided with embossings in a pattern dissimilar to that or the reinforcing watermarks.

A security element comprising a magnetic layer and a print layer disposed on a translucent substrate is provided. The print layer is disposed between the magnetic layer and the substrate, and the magnetic layer comprises a composition having magnetic or magnetisable particles therein, each particle having at least one substantially planar surface. The print layer includes printed authentication data and the magnetic or magnetisable particles are orientated such that in a region of the magnetic layer covering at least part of the authentication data, at least some of the magnetic or magnetisable particles are orientated with their planar surfaces substantially parallel to the plane of the substrate, such that the authentication data is substantially concealed when the security element is viewed in reflected light at least along the normal to the substrate. The printed authentication data is of sufficient optical density that the authentication data is visible through the region of the magnetic layer when viewed in transmitted light.

The invention relates to improvements in paper, and in particular to the use of watermarks and security elements for strengthening paper sheets and documents made therefrom. The invention therefore provides a sheet having at least four corners and at least four sides joined at said corners, wherein corner reinforcing watermarks are provided at each of said corners. An elongate security element is at least partially embedded within the sheet along and close to an edge of each of at least a pair of opposing sides.

A security element is provided, comprising a layer disposed on a substrate. The layer comprises a composition having magnetic or magnetisable particles therein, each particle having at least one substantially planar surface. The magnetic or magnetisable particles vary in orientation across the layer such that: at a first part of the layer, the particles are orientated with their planar surfaces substantially parallel to the normal to the layer, the angle between the planar surfaces of the particles and the normal gradually increasing with increasing radial distance from the first part to a maximum of approximately 90 degrees at a first radial position of the layer before decreasing gradually again until a second, father, radial position of the layer, the normals to the planar surfaces of the particles disposed between the first part and the second radial position intersecting one another at points on a first side of the layer, and from the second radial position, the angle between the planar surfaces of the particles and the normal of the layer gradually increases with increasing radial distance, the normals to the planar surfaces of the particles intersecting one another at points on a second side of the layer, opposite to the first side. The security element displays a bright edge corresponding to the first radial position, between a first dark area which includes the first part of the layer, and a second dark area, at least when the security element is viewed along a direction substantially normal to the plane of the substrate.
摘要:
A method of preparing a security document which comprises printing on at least one side of a security paper and thereafter applying to at least one side of the printed security paper over the printing a substantially transparent coating composition comprising an unpigmented polyurethane and/or polyacrylate, said coating composition being such as to provide a film, when cast on a glass surface, that has a König hardness of from 15 to 130 seconds, and also passes the water resistance test as defined by the following steps:
(a) the total formulation to be used in the coating is cast on a glass plate so as to produce a film with a dry weight of 80 g/m 2 ; (b) the film is initially dried at 23 °C and once tack free dried for an additional hour at 80 °C; (c) the film is weighed before being wetted and tested for tensile strength and Young's Modulus and is visually checked for any change in transparency; (d) a sample of the film is boiled in water containing 10 g/litre Na 2 CO 3 for 30 minutes; (e) the film is then rinsed in cold water and the steps (b) to (c) are then repeated; wherein when the film is dried and re-weighed the film meets the following criteria:
(i) the wet tensile strength and Young's Modulus of the boiled film are not less that 90% of the initial film wet tensile strength and Young's Modulus; (ii) the film shows no perceptible loss of transparency; and (iii) the dried weight of the film is not less than 98% of the original weight.
