    Abstract: There is described a substrate (S) for security documents, such as banknotes, comprising one or more paper layers (11, 12) and a polymer layer (20) which is made to adhere to a side of at least one of the paper layers (11, 12), which polymer layer (20) is substantially transparent in at least one region of the substrate (S) which is not covered by the paper layer or layers (11, 12) so as to form a substantially transparent window (W) in the substrate (S) which is formed and closed by the polymer layer (20). The polymer layer (20) exhibits in the region of the window (W) a thickness (T) which is greater than a thickness (t) of the polymer layer (20) outside of the region of the window (W). The thickness (T) of the polymer layer (20) in the region of the window (W) is substantially equal to the added thickness of the paper layer or layers (11, 12) and of the polymer layer (20) outside of the region of the (W) so that the substrate (S) exhibits a substantially uniform and constant thickness (T). The substrate (S) further comprises a micro-optical structure (30), in particular a lens structure, which is disposed in the region of the window (W) on at least one side of the polymer layer (20).

    Abstract: There is described an inking apparatus of a printing press, in particular an offset or letterpress printing press, comprising at least one ink duct (11, 12) with an ink supply roller (13, 14), an ink roller train (30) comprising at least one inking roller (31) which receives ink from the at least one ink duct (11, 12), and at least one vibrator roller (15, 16) interposed between the ink supply roller (13, 4) and the inking roller (31), which vibrator roller (15, 16) is swung back and forth between the ink supply roller (13, 14) and the inking roller (31) and intermittently transfers ink from the ink supply roller (13, 14) to the inking roller (31). A circumference of the vibrator roller (15, 16) exhibits an ink-transfer 10 structure (15a, 16a) which reflects a desired inking profile of a printing plate to be inked by the inking apparatus and is designed to modulate a quantity of ink transferred by the vibrator roller (15, 16). The ink-transfer structure (15a, 16a) on the circumference of the vibrator roller (15, 16) is subdivided, in a circumferential direction (y) of the vibrator roller (15, 16), into an integer number 1 (r) of individual ink-transfer portions (15b, 16b) that are repeated with a determined circumferential period (Δy) in the circumferential direction (y), each individual ink-transfer portion (15b, 16b) reflecting the desired inking profile of the printing plate to be inked by the inking apparatus. A contact length (CL) over which the vibrator roller (15, 16) runs in contact with the ink supply roller (13, 204) is equivalent to the determined circumferential period (Δy) of the individual ink-transfer portions (15b, 16b) or to an integer multiple of the determined circumferential period (Δy) of the individual ink-transfer portions (15b, 16b).
