Abstract: There is described a security element (EL) or document (BN), such as a banknote, comprising (i) a substrate (S) with first and second sides (I, II) and exhibiting at least one window region (W) made of a substantially transparent material, (ii) a micro-optical structure (OP) provided on the first side (I) of the substrate (S) and extending over at least a part of the window region (W), and (iii) a printed feature (P1-P3) printed on the second side (II) of the substrate (S) over at least a part of the window region (W), the printed feature (P1-P3) being provided in register with the micro-optical structure (OP) to produce an optically-variable effect (EF) upon looking at the printed feature (P1-P3) from the first side (I) of the substrate (S) through the micro-optical structure (OP) and the window region (W). The security element (EL) or document (BN) further comprises a protective layer (L) acting as printable primer layer and provided on the second side (II) of the substrate (S) over the window region (W) and on top of the printed feature (P1-P3), which protective layer (L) covers the printed feature (P1-P3) when seen from the second side (II) of the substrate (S) and further acts as a contrast-enhancing layer for the optically-variable effect (EF).

Abstract: There is described a printing press (100***; 100****) adapted to carry out printing on a sheet-like or web-like substrate (S), in particular for the production of security documents such as banknotes, comprising a printing unit (2*; 2**; 2***; 2****) designed to print a first side (I) and/or a second side (II) of the substrate (S). The printing press (100***; 100****) further comprises an in-line casting device (80; 80*; 80**; 80***) adapted to apply a layer of material acting as an optical medium on a portion of a first side (I, II) of the substrate (S) and to replicate and form a micro-optical structure (L) in the layer of material acting as optical medium. The printing unit (2*; 2**; 2***; 2****) is furthermore adapted to print at least one printed pattern on the first or second side (I, II) of the substrate (S) in register with the micro-optical structure (L), wherein the printing unit (2*; 2**; 2***; 2****) comprises at least a first printing group (93) being adapted to print at least one printed pattern on the second side (II) of the substrate (S) in register with the micro-optical structure (L) and wherein the in-line casting device (80; 80*; 80**; 80***) comprises at least one embossing cylinder (85), which embossing cylinder (85) also is acting as counter-pressure cylinder and cooperates with a printing cylinder (8) of the at least first printing group (93) and/or whereas the in-line casting device (80; 80*; 80**; 80***) and the at least a first printing group (93) being arranged at the Substrate transport path such way, that in-line casting of the micro-optical structure, on one side of the sheets S, and printing of the associated pattern, on the other side of the sheets S, are performed in a same step, without this involving any sheet transfer operation.

Abstract: There is described a method of creating a transparent window (W*) in a security, especially paper, substrate (1) for security printing applications, the method comprising the steps of (i) providing a security substrate (1), (ii) forming an opening (10*) into and through the security substrate (1), and (iii) filling the opening (10*) with transparent material (2) thereby forming the transparent window (W*). The filling of the opening (10*) with the transparent material (2) is carried out in a state where the opening (10*) is open on both sides of the security substrate (1) and extends through the security substrate (1), the filling of the opening (10*) including the application of a first side (I) of the security substrate (1) against a supporting surface (21A) of a supporting member (20′, 21) in such a way as to block one side of the opening (10*), while the transparent material (2) is applied inside the opening (10*) from the other side (II) of the security substrate (1). Advantageously, the method further comprises the step of forming a field of lenses (L) on one side of the transparent window (W*), in particular by replicating the field of lenses (L) directly into the transparent material (2) filling the opening (10*). Also described is a suitable device designed to fill the opening (10*) with the transparent material (2).

Abstract: There is described a printing press adapted to carry out printing on a sheet-like or web-like substrate, in particular for the production of security documents such as banknotes, comprising a substrate feeding device for feeding the substrate to be treated, at least a printing unit designed to print a first side and/or a second side of the substrate and a delivery unit for receiving the treated substrate. The printing press in the conveying path for the substrate between the feeding device and the delivery unit further comprises an in-line casting device adapted to apply a layer of material acting as an optical medium on a portion of the second side of the substrate and to replicate and form a micro-optical structure in the layer of material acting as optical medium, wherein the printing unit comprises a first printing group comprising a printing cylinder and being adapted to print at least one printed pattern on the first or second side of the substrate in register with the micro-optical structure.

Abstract: There is described a hot-stamping press (10; 10″; 10′″) comprising a foil application unit (2; 2*) designed to allow transfer or lamination of foil material (FM) by hot-stamping onto a substrate (S) supplied in the form of successive sheets or successive portions of a continuous web, which foil material (FM) is fed to the foil application unit (2; 2*) in the form of a foil carrier (FC) supplied by means of a foil feeding system (3). The hot-stamping press (10; 10″; 10′″) further comprises at least one UV-curing unit (61; 62; 63) located along a path (A) of the substrate (S) downstream of the foil application unit (2; 2*) to subject the foil material (FM) transferred or laminated onto the substrate (S) to a UV-curing operation. The foil material (FM) is provided with an adhesive intended to ensure adhesion of the foil material (FM) onto the substrate (S), which adhesive comprises a combination of hot-melt compounds reacting to the application of heat produced by the foil application unit (2; 2*) and UV-curing compounds reacting to the application of ultraviolet radiation produced by the UV-curing unit (61; 62; 63).
