TRANSFER DEVICE AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING N SECURITY DOCUMENTS

Claims

Transfer device and method for producing N security documents. A transfer device (100) for orienting platelet-shaped magnetic or magnetizable pigment particles contained in a radiation-curable coating composition (200) and applied onto a substrate (S), the transfer device (100) comprising: a number N of identical magnetic blocks (102) aligned along an alignment line (103) provided on an outer surface of the transfer device (100), each magnetic block (102) including M magnetic field generating devices (101), each generating a corresponding magnetic field, such that each magnetic block (102) generates a block magnetic field, N being greater than or equal to two, and M being greater than or equal to one;and a shielding element (105) that partially isolates the block magnetic field of each magnetic block (102) from the block magnetic field of the other magnetic blocks (102) or a compensating magnetic block (106) provided next to the magnetic block (102).;
