Abstract: There are described various embodiments of an inking system for inking an intaglio printing cylinder (8) of an intaglio printing press (1 I ; 1 II ; 1 III ; 1 IV ; 1 V ), which intaglio printing cylinder carries one or more intaglio printing mediums (8a, 8b, 8c) that are inked by means of a plurality of inking devices (95; 95*; 95**; 905; 905*). The inking system is designed to perform a selective transfer of ink to the one or more intaglio printing mediums by means of a selective inking cylinder (98; 98*; 98**) provided in at least one of the inking devices, preferably in each of the inking devices. More precisely, the selective inking cylinder carries a selective inking plate (90a) receiving ink supplied by an associated inking unit (96/96a/97; 96*/96a*/97*; 96**/96a**; 906/906a/910/915; 906*/906a*/910*/915*), which selective inking plate comprises a coating (900) that is selectively structured to exhibit ink-repellent portions (910) and perform selective transfer of ink at locations (920) corresponding to engraved areas of the one or more intaglio printing mediums that are to be inked with the ink supplied by the associated inking unit. The selective transfer of ink to the one or more intaglio printing mediums is performed indirectly from the selective inking cylinder to the one or more intaglio printing mediums via an ink collecting cylinder (9) and/or via a chablon cylinder (99*; 99**) carrying a chablon plate (99a) comprising relief portions (99A) corresponding to engraved areas of the one or more intaglio printing mediums that are to be inked with the ink supplied by the associated inking unit.

Abstract: There is described a printed security element (10; 10*; 10**) comprising a rainbow feature (15; 15*; 15**) exhibiting, at least in part, a gradual transition from a first colour (C1) to a second colour (C2) distinct from the first colour (C1), wherein the rainbow feature (15; 15*; 15**) extends over a colour-gradient area (A) of the printed security element (10; 10*; 10**) where first and second printed patterns (P1, P2) are partly superimposed or juxtaposed, each of the first and second printed patterns (P1, P2) comprising a first, respectively second set of linear or curvilinear elements (20, 30; 20*, 30*), the first and second printed patterns (P1, P2) being printed in register one with the other by means of two distinct printing plates (PP1, PP2) so that the first and second sets of linear or curvilinear elements (20, 30; 20*, 30*) are partly superimposed or juxtaposed in the colour-gradient area (A) and thereby generate the rainbow feature (15; 15*; 15**), the first printed pattern (P1) exhibiting the first colour (C1) and being printed by means of a first printing plate (PP1) and the second printed pattern (P2) exhibiting the second colour (C2) and being printed by means of a second printing plate (PP2), where at least the first or second printed pattern (P1; P2) exhibits, in the colour-gradient area (A), a modulation of line width or line structure such as to cause, when superimposed or juxtaposed with the other printed pattern (P2; P1), a gradual transition from the first colour (C1) to the second colour (C2), wherein, in the colour-gradient area (A), the second printed pattern (P2) is printed on top of the first printed pattern (P1) and wherein the second colour (C2) is darker than the first colour (C1). Also described is a method of producing the aforementioned printed security element.

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 web-fed or sheet-fed printing machine for security papers, in particular banknotes, comprising a machine frame (100) in which is located a main printing group (10, 13, 15, 20, 23, 25), the printing machine further comprising an additional printing group (1, 2, 8; 1, 2', 8; 1 ,2", 8), independent of the main printing group, placed upstream of the main printing group with respect to a direction of displacement of the web or sheets for performing additional printing of the security papers prior to printing by said main printing group. The additional printing group comprises an inking module (1) containing at least one inking device (3), and a printing module (2; 2'; 2") comprising a cylinder arrangement including a plurality of cylinders (4, 5; 4', 5', 6', 7'; 4", 5", 6", 7"), the printing module being interposed between the inking module and the machine frame of the printing machine. The additional printing group is constructed in such a manner that the printing module can be decoupled from the inking module and the machine frame for replacement by another printing module without this requiring removal of said inking module (1) from the printing machine.
