A smart card module has an elongated circuit substrate; a card-reader contact element on one side of the substrate for connection to a smart card reader; an integrated circuit connection element on another side of the substrate connected to the card-reader contact element and to which an integrated circuit is mountable; and an antenna on the substrate connected to the integrated circuit connection element for receiving radio frequency signals from the smart card reader. A furthest perimeter edge of the antenna is spaced from a proximal edge of the card-reader contact element by at least half a distance between the proximal edge and a center C1 of the card-reader contact element. Thus a larger antenna coil can be accommodated on the substrate with less overlap of the card-reader contact element, whilst also enabling a separate module to be integrated with the smart card.

A method of varying the ink density of the full tone in printing within a rotary printing machine with an ink application system which can provide a constant quantity of ink which, in spite of constant ink supply from the inking unit, permits control of the full-tone density or adaptation of the raster tonal values in the print. The method includes setting the binary image on a printing plate. A basic raster of raster points, which determines the area coverage of the binary image, is produced on the printing plate for the variable-area image information. The basic raster is then superimposed on a fine microraster in such way that the area coverage of the basic raster is reduced by a percentage which can be set between 0% and 100%.
