Methods for producing an information carrier comprising the steps of: (1) providing an information carrier precursor comprising a rigid sheet or support; a receiving layer configuration having an image-receiving side and a non-image-receiving side, the receiving layer configuration comprising at least one pigment and at least one binder, wherein at least one constituent layer of the receiving layer configuration is opaque; at least the outermost layer on the image-receiving side or a layer in diffusive contact with the outermost layer on the image-receiving side is opaque and porous; and the receiving layer configuration is capable of being rendered substantially transparent by penetration by a lacquer; and a layer or element, or pattern in the layer or element, capable of a machine-readable change upon absorbing UV, visible or IR radiation, the layer or element being either the surface of the rigid sheet or support or interposed between the rigid sheet or support and the non-image-receiving side of the receiving layer configuration; (2) pattern-wise or integrally at least partially transparentizing the receiving layer configuration with a vaporizable liquid thereby providing a transparent pattern on the at least partially transparentized receiving layer; (3) using a light source to write a pattern or modify the pattern in the layer or element capable of a machine-readable change upon absorption of UV, visible or IR radiation after transmission through at least part of the transparentized areas of the receiving layer configuration; evaporating the vaporizable liquid; and after the vaporizable liquid has been evaporated pattern-wise or integrally rendering the receiving layer configuration permanently at least partially non-transparent with a non-transparentizing lacquer, thereby producing an information carrier.

Methods for producing an information carrier produced by: (1) providing an information carrier precursor comprising a 5 rigid sheet or support; a receiving layer configuration having an image-receiving side and a non-image-receiving side, the receiving layer configuration comprising at least one pigment and at least one binder, (2) pattern-wise or integrally at least partially transparentizing the receiving layer configuration with a vaporizable liquid thereby providing a transparent pattern on the at least partially transparentized receiving layer; (3) using a light source to write a pattern or modify the pattern in the layer or element capable of a machine-readable change upon absorption of UV, visible or IR 25 radiation after transmission through at least part of the transparentized areas of the receiving layer configuration; evaporating the vaporizable liquid, thereby producing an information carrier.
摘要:
A coating device for coating a peripheral surface of a sleeve body with a coating formulation includes a vertical support column for supporting a sleeve body in a vertical position coaxial with a coating axis, a carriage slideable along the vertical support column, and an annular coating stage attached to the carriage and moveable therewith for containing the coating formulation and for coating a layer of the coating formulation onto the peripheral surface of the sleeve body during a sliding movement of the carriage along the vertical support column. The coating device includes an irradiation stage that is arranged to be moveable with the annular coating stage and to provide radiation to at least partially cure the layer of coating formulation onto the peripheral surface so as to prevent flow off of the coating formulation.
摘要:
A method of ink-jet printing an authentication mark on an article including, in order, the steps of: a) providing an article including an ink-receiving layer; b) applying a curable fluid on an ink-receiving layer according to a first image; c) at least partially curing the curable fluid; and d) jetting at least one ink-jet ink on the ink-receiving layer according to a second image partially overlapping with the first image. The method can be advantageously used to generate a security document.

According to the present invention there is provided a heat-sensitive non-ablatable wasteless imaging element for providing a lithographic printing plate, comprising on a support a top layer which is capable of forming by image-wise exposure image-wise hydrophobic and hydrophilic areas, characterized in that said imaging element contains an IR-dye capable of changing its optical density by exposure of the imaging element.
摘要:
A material is disclosed which is suitable for making a flexographic printing plate and comprises in the order given a base, a photopolymer layer and a photothermographic or thermographic recording layer which contains an organic silver salt. By image-wise exposing the recording layer, a photomask is obtained through which the photopolymer layer can be subsequently exposed. Using a suitable solvent, the (photo)thermographic recording layer can be removed and the unexposed areas of the photopolymer layer can be washed out simultaneously in a single development step. The relief image thus obtained can be used as a print master for flexographic printing.
