Abstract: There is described a combined printing press (10; 10*) for the production of security documents, in particular banknotes, comprising a screen printing group (2; 2*) and an intaglio printing group (3) adapted to process substrates in the form of individual sheets or successive portions of a continuous web. The screen printing group (2; 2*) is located upstream of the intaglio printing group (3) and comprises at least one screen printing unit (20; 20*) designed to print a pattern of optically-variable ink onto one side of the substrates, which optically-variable ink contains flakes that can be oriented by means of a magnetic field. The screen printing group (2; 2*) further comprises a magnetic unit (24; 24*) located downstream of the screen printing unit (20; 20*), which magnetic unit is designed to magnetically induce an optically-variable effect in the pattern of optically-variable ink applied by the screen printing unit (20; 20*). The screen printing group (2; 2*) further comprises at least one drying/curing unit (25, 28; 25*, 28*) designed to dry/cure the pattern of optically-variable ink in which the optically-variable effect has been induced by the magnetic unit (24), prior to transfer of the substrates to the intaglio printing group (3).

Abstract: There is described a multicolor letterpress printing press, in particular a numbering press, comprising a printing group (50) with at least a first letterpress (e.g. numbering) cylinder (51) and a second letterpress cylinder (52) which are inked by an associated inking system (60, 71, 72, 81, 81 a, 81 b, 82, 82a, 82b). The inking system (60, 71, 72, 81, 81 a, 81 b, 82, 82a, 82b) comprises (i) a first inking device (81) supplying ink to a first chablon cylinder (71), (ii) at least a second inking device (82) supplying ink to a second chablon cylinder (72), and (iii) an ink-collecting cylinder (60) contacting the first and second chablon cylinders (71, 72) and the first and second letterpress cylinders (51, 52). The ink-collecting cylinder (60) collects a first ink pattern (A, D) from the first chablon cylinder (71) and a second ink pattern (B, C) from the second chablon cylinder (72). As a result, a first multicolor pattern of inks (A-D) is formed on the ink-collecting cylinder (60), which first multicolor pattern of inks (A-D) is transferred onto the first letterpress cylinder (51). The ink-collecting cylinder (60) further collects a third ink pattern (A, D) from the first chablon cylinder (71) and a fourth ink pattern (B, C) from the second chablon cylinder (72), thereby forming a second multicolor pattern of inks (A ″D) on the ink-collecting cylinder (60), which second multicolor pattern of inks (A ″D) is transferred onto the second letterpress cylinder (52).

Abstract: There is described an intaglio printing press (1; 1*) comprising an intaglio cylinder (8) and an ink wiping system (10) with a rotating wiping roller assembly (11) contacting a circumference of the intaglio cylinder (8) for wiping excess ink from the surface of the intaglio cylinder (8), a rotational speed of the wiping cylinder being adjustable with respect to a rotational speed of the intaglio cylinder (8). The intaglio printing press (1; 1*) comprises an adjustable drive unit (25), which adjustable drive unit (25) is interposed between the wiping roller assembly (11) acting as a rotating output body of the adjustable drive unit (25) and a driving gear (100) coupled to the intaglio cylinder (8) and acting as a rotating input body of the adjustable drive unit (25). The adjustable drive unit (25) is designed to allow selected adjustment of a rotational speed of the wiping roller assembly (11) with respect to a rotational speed of the driving gear (100). In an adjusting state of the adjustable drive unit (25), driving into rotation of the wiping roller assembly (11) is adjusted by means of an adjustment motor (700) of the adjustable drive unit (25). In a non-adjusting state of the adjustable drive unit (25), the adjustment motor (700) is inoperative and driving into rotation of the wiping roller assembly (11) is performed exclusively mechanically via the adjustable drive unit (25), the wiping roller assembly (11) rotating at a defined rotational speed with respect to the rotational speed of the intaglio cylinder (8).

Abstract: There is described method of processing printed sheets (100), especially sheets of printed securities, into individual documents (150), such as banknotes, each printed sheet (100) comprising an array of imprints arranged in a matrix of rows and columns. The method comprises the following steps : (i) pre-processing the printed sheets (100) by partly slitting each printed sheet (100) row-wise or column-wise to form slits (110) between adjacent rows or adjacent columns of imprints, slitting being performed in such a manner that the adjacent rows or adjacent columns of imprints are still attached to one another at edges of each thus pre-processed printed sheet (100′); (ii) stacking the pre-processed printed sheets (100′) so as to form sheet stacks (121, 122) comprising a predetermined number of pre-processed printed sheets (100′) stacked one upon the other; and (iii) processing the sheet stacks (121, 122) by cutting each sheet stack (121, 122) column-wise or row-wise along cutting lines (115) between adjacent columns or rows of imprints, cutting being performed along a direction perpendicular to the direction of the slits (110) and in such a manner that individual documents (150) are produced as a result. Also described is a system for carrying out this method.
