Embodiment Construction

[0040] Figure 1 schematically shows the state of the technical process traditionally used by a security printing factory for the manufacture of gravure printing plates.

[0041] The first step is to hand carve an image with depth, such as a portrait, in a steel or copper mold. This step required months of labor by a skilled sculptor.

[0042] The second step is to create a copy of this hand-engraved mold and add other lines to the mold by chemical etching. These lines may be computer-generated secret patterns that are printed during the gravure process.

[0043] The third step is to form a plastic imprint of the mold. It will be possible to make as many impressions as the security document printed on each page.

[0044] The fourth step is to cut these stamps into shape.

[0045] The fifth step is to place the cut stamps into rows and columns and then weld them together to create a multi-image plastic assembly.

[0046] The sixth step is to silver the multi-image plastic a...

Abstract

A method of manufacturing an engraved plate used in intaglio printing, said plate being engraved by a tool, for example a laser beam, characterised in that the engraving tool uses data from a depthmap, based on a three-dimensional raster image of the document to be printed.

Description

[0001] The present application is a divisional application with the application number 03801222.7 filed on June 3, 2003, and the title of the invention is "method for manufacturing an engraved plate". technical field [0002] The present invention generally relates to the field of gravure printing for the production of security paper, especially banknotes. [0003] More particularly, the present invention relates to a method of making an engraved plate for gravure printing of security paper, wherein the non-engraved plate is provided to a programmed engraving process by a computer-controlled engraving tool. Background technique [0004] Traditionally, the manufacture of intaglio is a lengthy and complex process that begins with hand-carving a steel or copper plate, creating a copy of this first plate, adding other elements by chemical engraving, making the plastic imprint of this final original, They are soldered together and passed through a significant number of electropla...
