SUMMARY

[0004] It is the task of the present invention to advantageously provide a method, a printed product and an interlaced image. It is in particular possible to provide a printed product which is used for example in a craft kit and for producing an interlaced image which almost perfectly reproduces a motif image, for example a realistic image, after interlacing of the printed strips.

[0005] This task is solved by the independent claims. The dependent claims relate to object- related and advantageous refinements of the invention.

[0006] The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a printed product by means of a printing method, in which a thin carrier material of the printed product comprises, in which a print file provided electronically is called up, which provides data of a motif image. Different printing methods which can be used for such a method are conceivable as the printing method. For example, a digital printing method or any other printing method used for image production is suitable for the present method.

[0007] For the present method, different printable materials can be used as carrier material for the printed products which can be produced thereby and for the interlaced images which can consist of printed products. For example, a relatively thin medium or material, for example planar, can be used. For example, a carrier material based on plant fibers, such as a paper fiber material or a paper carrier material or a carrier material based on wood material or a carrier material based on plastic or a carrier material based on metal material or a carrier material based on a textile product or a carrier material based on a composite material or a composite material can be used.

[0008] The thickness of the carrier material, which is usually consistent along its planar extension, is between a fraction of a millimeter and a maximum of two millimeters.

[0009] The core of this invention lies in printing two distinct printing areas onto a carrier material using a printing file. Each printing area is formed from data of a subject image, and each printing area at least partially reproduces the subject image. The printed product is manufactured such that it forms a planar interwoven image composed of perpendicularly intersecting and interlacing longitudinal and transverse strips, based on a Cartesian coordinate system having a first coordinate direction and a second coordinate direction. The first coordinate direction is either a longitudinal or transverse direction, and the first and second coordinate directions are perpendicular to each other. The interwoven image has a first coordinate direction for the parallel longitudinal strips and a second coordinate direction for the parallel transverse strips. The longitudinal and transverse strips can be generated by the printed product as independent and printed carrier material strips in the longitudinal direction of the strips. The visible side of the completed interwoven image, as a reproduction of the subject image on which it is based, is visible to the human eye. A first printing area for producing the printed product, and a second printing area for producing the printed product, are used to generate all longitudinal bars extending parallel to a first coordinate direction of the interwoven image from the first printing area, and all transverse bars extending parallel to a second coordinate direction of the interwoven image from the second printing area. The first and second printing areas of the printed product are thus coordinated to ensure that the subject image is fully and accurately reproduced on the visible side of the completed interwoven image. The entire subject image is divided into multiple quadrilateral image segments, and the first printing area provides all the longitudinal bars, the longitudinal axes of which extend along the first coordinate direction. The same spacing is always considered between two adjacent image segments along the first coordinate direction on the longitudinal bars, where the spacing is related to the material thickness of the carrier material. For example, all longitudinal bars in the first printing area uniformly have the same spacing. This spacing is achieved, for example, through strip-shaped regions on the longitudinal bars. The spacing is calculated and remains constant along the longitudinal direction of the longitudinal strips under consideration, between two adjacent image segments along the longitudinal strips. This relates to the first printed area.

[0010] For example, the spacing predetermined by the method can be related to the material thickness and / or the flexural strength of the carrier material. For example, other, such as technical or mechanical, properties of the carrier material, additionally or alternatively, also determine the value of the spacing.

[0011] The spacing is, for example, 0.98 mm when the thickness of the paper carrier material is, for example, 0.14 mm and the coefficient is 7, which is multiplied by the thickness value.

[0012] The spacing on the vertical bars is, for example, in the range of 5% to 15% of the length of the image segment.

[0013] The calculated image segments are printed sequentially on the vertical and horizontal strips or are present in the printed product.

[0014] This solves the problem of image offset or subject image offset at the transition between adjacent image segments and their adjacent edges. Otherwise, if two identical images with the same subject image are to be printed, the first image is cut into parallel vertical strips and the second image is cut into parallel horizontal strips, and these strips are then interlaced at right angles, image offset will occur, resulting in a distorted display of the subject image.

[0015] For example, two printing areas may differ from each other in size, such as in their vertical dimension and / or in their width dimension and / or in their printed content or in their visually visible display within the respective printing areas.

[0016] The entire subject image is divided into multiple image segments, for example.

[0017] By pre-calculating and manufacturing multiple pre-computed image segments, potential offsets in subsequent interlaced images can be corrected. Otherwise visible offsets are taken into account in the wrap-around path of the two interlaced strip segments formed by the carrier material. The calculation of the offset and the associated correction through the spacing on all longitudinal strips are based on the material factors and / or technical factors of the carrier material, where the wrap-around path is considered. The material factors and / or technical factors of the carrier material affect the wrap-around path and thus affect the otherwise visible offset on the visible side of the interlaced image when the strips interlace. Technical factors of the carrier material include, for example, the mechanical properties of the carrier material under carrier material load.

[0018] The surrounding path is related to the strength or thickness of the carrier material, for example, if the carrier material is, for example, paper carrier material, then it is related to paper strength or paper thickness.

[0019] The wrapping path is related, for example, to the properties of the carrier material regarding, for example, its deformation characteristics during interlacing. The wrapping path is also related, for example, to the flexural strength of the carrier material. If the carrier material is, for example, paper, then the wrapping path is related, for example, to the flexural strength of the paper.

[0020] On the printed or visible side of each of the bars, such as the vertical bars and the horizontal bars, multiple quadrilateral segments are defined, for example. The quadrilateral segments are positioned to precisely define image segments of the entire subject image.

[0021] Here, quadrilateral segments appear alternately on the strips in their longitudinal direction. For example, on the transverse strips, along the first longitudinal direction, a quadrilateral segment provided by the related strip or transverse strip in a subsequent interlaced image is immediately followed by the next quadrilateral segment, which is provided by a strip perpendicular to the transverse strip, i.e., a longitudinal strip, as a visible quadrilateral segment in the interlaced image. Then, on the transverse strip, the following quadrilateral segment is immediately followed, which is provided by the transverse strip itself as a visible quadrilateral segment in the interlaced image in a subsequent interlaced image.

[0022] The same applies to all other horizontal bars.

[0023] Also in all the vertical bars, a quadrilateral segment appears alternately as a visible quadrilateral segment in the subsequent interlaced image and as a visible quadrilateral segment formed by the horizontal bars in the subsequent interlaced image.

[0024] Subsequent interlaced images may have quadrilateral segments that are not visible on the strip printed, for example, only partially printed, fully printed, or not printed.

[0025] In partial printing, for example, the central area of ​​a quadrilateral segment that is not visible in an interlaced image is not printed, or is printed in a uniform color, such as white, or has a different printing, for example, from the main image. The edge areas of the quadrilateral segment, such as the edge areas surrounding the central area, are printed, for example, according to the main image present there. This eliminates visually obvious image defects or blanks that may appear in subsequent interlaced images at the positions between adjacent strips.

[0026] Continuous printing of vertical and / or horizontal stripes is not excluded, such as continuous printing of all image segments based on the subject image.

[0027] The vertical bars, or their vertical axes, are oriented perpendicular to the horizontal bars, or their vertical axes. For example, all vertical bars are perpendicular to the horizontal bars, and in particular, all horizontal bars are oriented. The vertical bars are oriented with their respective vertical axes about a Cartesian coordinate system or an interlaced image, perpendicular to the respective vertical axes of the horizontal bars.

[0028] For example, the entire visible side of an interlaced image is formed solely by image segments on both the vertical and horizontal bars. For instance, the area containing the gap between two image segments on the vertical bar is not part of the visible portion of the interlaced image.

[0029] Interlaced images are based on a two-strip system. Vertical and horizontal stripes alternately surround exactly one other strip only at the bottom and top, and so on.

[0030] For example, the spacing is calculated by multiplying the thickness of the carrier material by a coefficient between 5.5 and 8.5. The same spacing between two adjacent image segments on the vertical stripe in the first coordinate direction is always considered as the same spacing on the vertical stripe, calculated by multiplying a first coefficient between 5.5 and 8.5 and a second coefficient based on the thickness of the carrier material. This achieves a nearly ideal visual effect for the resulting interlaced image.

[0031] For example, the printing area is generated in such a way that the entire subject image is divided into multiple quadrilateral image segments in the completed interwoven image, wherein some of the outer edges of the image segments extend parallel to the second coordinate direction, and other outer edges of the image segments extend parallel to the first coordinate direction.

[0032] For example, all image segments of the completed interlaced image are formed by image segments on the vertical bars and image segments on the horizontal bars. Alternatively, the interlaced image may be formed solely by image segments on the vertical bars and image segments on the horizontal bars.

[0033] Image segments, appearing alternately in corresponding coordinate directions, are implemented on the visible side of the subsequent interlaced image. For typical paper materials, these image segments are distinguished, for example, within a range of one-tenth of a millimeter. Here, all image segments provided by longitudinal bars in the interlaced image are identical in size to each other. Here, all image segments provided by transverse bars in the interlaced image are identical in size to each other.

[0034] For example, all visible quadrilaterals on the interlaced image are square or rectangular, with a long side and a shorter wide side. Alternatively, rectangular and square quadrilaterals are formed on the interlaced image. For example, in the completed interlaced image, the wide side of the quadrilateral on the vertical strip is adjacent to the long side of the quadrilateral on the horizontal strip. Correspondingly, in the completed interlaced image, the long side of the quadrilateral on the vertical strip is adjacent to the wide side of the quadrilateral on the horizontal strip.

[0035] For example, the visible quadrilaterals formed by the vertical bars in the interwoven image have different side lengths than the quadrilaterals formed by the quadrilaterals on the horizontal bars in the interwoven image. For example, the longer side of the quadrilaterals on the vertical bars extends along a first coordinate direction. For example, the longer side of the visible quadrilaterals formed by the vertical bars in the interwoven image, for example, along the first coordinate direction, is longer than the longer side of the quadrilaterals formed by the quadrilaterals on the horizontal bars in the interwoven image that extend along the second coordinate direction.

[0036] For example, all the visible quadrilaterals formed by the vertical bars in an interwoven image are the same or nearly identical to each other.

[0037] For example, all the visible quadrilaterals formed by horizontal bars in an interwoven image are the same or nearly identical to each other.

[0038] For example, in an interwoven image, all visible quadrilaterals formed by vertical bars have longer sides than the quadrilaterals formed by horizontal bars.

[0039] For example, the composition of the subject image: All image segments of the subject image are formed by the combination of all image segments visible in the interwoven image on the vertical bars and all image segments visible in the interwoven image on the horizontal bars. For example, the entire visible interwoven image is formed solely by the combination of all image segments on the vertical and horizontal bars. In other words, the regions on the vertical and horizontal bars that exist between the outward-facing segments on the visible side of the interwoven image are invisible on the visible side of the completed interwoven image, especially because they are covered by other bars.

[0040] Two adjacent longitudinal strips are formed abutting each other, for example, with their longitudinal edges facing each other. Two adjacent longitudinal strips are formed directly abutting each other, for example, with their longitudinal edges facing each other and extending along the first coordinate direction. This relates to a first printing area. For example, in the first printing area, there is a slightly thin separation line between two adjacent longitudinal strips along the longitudinal direction of the strip or along the first coordinate direction of the longitudinal strip or along the longitudinal direction of the longitudinal strip.

[0041] For example, in the first printing area, the dimension of the printing area along the second coordinate direction, such as its width, remains unchanged relative to the width of the subject image on which it is based. For example, in the first printing area, the dimension of the printing area along the second coordinate direction, such as its width, has a relatively small interference dimension compared to the width of the subject image on which it is based. This relatively small interference dimension of the first printing area along the second coordinate direction is predetermined, for example, by electronic image processing of the first printing area, wherein the first printing area forms a vertical stripe. This relatively small interference dimension of the first printing area along the second coordinate direction is, for example, related to the total width of the subject image along this direction. This relatively small interference dimension of the first printing area along the second coordinate direction is, for example, between 0.06% and 0.33%. For example, the interference dimension of the first printing area along the second coordinate direction is between 0.1 and 0.5 millimeters for a subject image width of 15.5 cm.

[0042] For example, an intermediate strip made of carrier material of a second printing area is formed between two transverse strips along the first coordinate direction. The intermediate strip is not printed, partially printed, or fully printed. In the second printing area, the same spacing is thus achieved, for example, between all adjacent transverse strips via the intermediate strip. The intermediate strip is printed, for example, as an interference print portion to, for example, compensate for production variations. The corresponding, for example, identical width of the intermediate strips extending parallel between two adjacent transverse strips is, for example, between 10% and 40% of the width of the transverse strips, said width being transverse to the longitudinal extension of the transverse strips or derived along the first coordinate direction.

[0043] Therefore, for example, two transverse strips along the first coordinate direction are formed with a spacing between them via an intermediate strip. This spacing is, for example, determined by the width of the intermediate strip along the first coordinate direction. This spacing facilitates, for example, the easier separation of the transverse strips from the second printing area using scissors, and / or facilitates the subsequent interlacing process of the longitudinal and transverse strips to form an interlaced image.

[0044] Advantageously, the following areas on the longitudinal strips or on the transverse strips are not printed or at least not partially printed or not printed according to the subject image, wherein the area is not reproduced on the visible side of the interwoven image.

[0045] Areas not reproduced on the visible side of the interwoven image are printed, for example, in white or in other colors to contrast with adjacent sections.

[0046] This invention relates to a printed product made of a substrate material, wherein the printed product is manufactured based on data of a subject image according to a printing method, wherein the printed product has two printing areas on the substrate material, the two printing areas being distinct from each other, wherein each printing area is formed from data of a subject image, and each printing area at least partially reproduces the subject image, wherein the printed product is used to form a planar interlaced image by perpendicularly intersecting and interwoven longitudinal and transverse strips, the interlaced image having a first coordinate direction of the longitudinal strips being parallel to each other and a second coordinate direction of the transverse strips being parallel to each other, wherein the longitudinal and transverse strips can be generated by the printed product as strips of substrate material that are independent of each other in the longitudinal direction of the strips, and wherein the visible side of the completed interlaced image is, for the viewer, the subject image on which it is based. The image is reproduced as visible, wherein the first printing area is capable of generating all longitudinal stripes extending parallel to the first coordinate direction of the interlaced image, wherein the second printing area is capable of generating all transverse stripes extending parallel to the second coordinate direction of the interlaced image, wherein the first printing area and the second printing area of ​​the printed product are formed in such a coordinated manner that the subject image is fully and accurately reproduced on the visible side of the interlaced image in the completed interlaced image, wherein the entire subject image is divided into multiple quadrilateral image segments, wherein the first printing area is used to provide all longitudinal stripes, the longitudinal axis of which extends along the first coordinate direction, wherein the same spacing is always considered between two adjacent image segments on the longitudinal strip along the first coordinate direction, wherein the spacing is related to the material thickness of the carrier material.

[0047] The printed product is manufactured, for example, using a digital printing method. The printed product is printed or manufactured, for example, according to one of the aforementioned methods.

[0048] This provides a basis for creating interlaced images from longitudinal and transverse strips, in which the interlaced image on which it is based can be ideally reproduced. For example, in the generation of interlaced images from intersecting and interwoven printing strips, the printed product serves as the initial product for a craft kit for handmade entertainment.

[0049] The two printing areas have, for example, carrier material regions that are connected to the strip at the longitudinal end and / or the transverse end. This is used, for example, to fix the strip and the printing areas to the carrier material and to facilitate better handling when creating interlaced images.

[0050] The printed product, for example, has a first printing area and a second printing area on a carrier material, which are different from each other. The two printing areas are based on a common subject image. The first printing area can provide longitudinal stripes made of the carrier material, and the second printing area can provide transverse stripes made of the carrier material. Thus, the longitudinal and transverse stripes of the printed product can form a planar interlaced image formed by perpendicularly intersecting and interlacing longitudinal and transverse stripes. In the completed interlaced image, the subject image is fully and accurately reproduced on the visible side of the interlaced image.

[0051] For example, the vertical bars are parallel to each other in the first coordinate direction. For example, the horizontal bars are parallel to each other in the second coordinate direction.

[0052] Furthermore, by way of example, the longitudinal strips have relatively parallel longitudinal edges that separate adjacent areas of the printed product.

[0053] The opposing parallel longitudinal edges of the longitudinal strips are cut off, for example. The opposing parallel longitudinal edges of the longitudinal strips are prepared such that the longitudinal strips are cut off along the longitudinal direction on both sides of their length from appropriate areas of the carrier material, for example from adjacent edges of adjacent longitudinal strips.

[0054] Horizontal stripes, for example, have relatively parallel longitudinal edges that separate adjacent areas of the printed product.

[0055] The opposing parallel longitudinal edges of the transverse strips are cut off, for example. The opposing parallel longitudinal edges of the transverse strips are prepared such that the transverse strips are cut off along their length in the longitudinal direction from appropriate areas of the carrier material, for example from adjacent edges of adjacent intermediate strips. For example, in all transverse strips, there are intermediate strips between two adjacent transverse strips. For example, in the second printing area, all intermediate strips between two adjacent transverse strips have the same strip width.

[0056] For example, the end of the longitudinal strip is connected to the area of ​​the printed product adjacent to the longitudinal strip. The area of ​​the printed product is, for example, made of carrier material.

[0057] For example, the two opposite longitudinal ends of a longitudinal strip connect to adjacent areas of the printed product.

[0058] For example, the longitudinal strips remain on the first printing area and are connected to the surrounding carrier material at the ends.

[0059] For example, the two longitudinal ends of all longitudinal strips are connected to the carrier material, and each longitudinal strip is cut off from the carrier material on both sides along its entire length.

[0060] This simplifies the generation of interlaced images and the processing of printed products.

[0061] For example, the end of the horizontal strip is connected to the area of ​​the printed product adjacent to the horizontal strip. The area of ​​the printed product is, for example, formed of a carrier material.

[0062] This provides a favorable structure for subsequent interlaced images.

[0063] For example, the two longitudinal ends of all the transverse strips are connected to the carrier material, and each transverse strip is cut off from the carrier material on both sides along its entire length.

[0064] In order to create an interwoven image, for example, only the horizontal stripes are separated from the carrier material on both sides at the ends, which surrounds the second printing area, and the resulting horizontal stripes are interwoven by parallel, side-by-side vertical stripes.

[0065] For example, markings may be present in the end extensions of the longitudinal strips and / or the end extensions of the transverse strips, which enable visually identifiable assignment of the respective longitudinal or transverse strips with respect to their positions along the first and / or second coordinate directions. This simplifies subsequent fabrication of the interlaced image.

[0066] For example, information may be printed outside the areas of the vertical bars and / or outside the areas of the horizontal bars.

[0067] Information, for example, is used to assist in generating interlaced images, such as distinguishing or assigning vertical or horizontal bars in an interlaced image by means of the corresponding row numbers and / or color markings of the horizontal and / or vertical bars.

[0068] Finally, an interwoven image formed by strips of carrier material is proposed, wherein the planar interwoven image is formed by vertically intersecting and interwoven longitudinal and transverse strips, the interwoven image having a first coordinate direction of the longitudinal strips parallel to each other and a second coordinate direction of the transverse strips parallel to each other, wherein the longitudinal and transverse strips are generated by a printed product as independent and printed carrier material strips in the longitudinal direction of the strips, wherein the visible side of the completed interwoven image is visible to the human as a reproduction of the subject image on which it is based, wherein the printed product has a first printing area from which all longitudinal strips extending parallel to the first coordinate direction of the interwoven image can be generated, wherein the printed product has a second printing area. The printing area, generated by the second printing area, is capable of generating all horizontal stripes extending parallel to the second coordinate direction of the interwoven image. The first and second printing areas of the printed product are formed in such a coordinated manner that the subject image is fully and accurately reproduced on the visible side of the completed interwoven image. The entire subject image is divided into multiple quadrilateral image segments. The first printing area provides all vertical stripes, the longitudinal axis of which extends along the first coordinate direction. The same spacing is always considered between two adjacent image segments along the vertical strip along the first coordinate direction, and this spacing is related to the material thickness of the carrier material.

[0069] The interwoven image reproduces the subject image on which it is based almost perfectly.

[0070] For example, two printing areas are formed from the data of the subject image, and each printing area reproduces a segment of the subject image.

[0071] For example, the outer edge of the frame of the interwoven image is set, and the outer edge connects to the longitudinal ends of the vertical strips and the longitudinal ends of the horizontal strips. This achieves an aesthetically pleasing overall impression of the completed interwoven image. Attached Figure Description

[0072] Other features and advantages of the invention are illustrated in detail with the aid of embodiments. Detailed descriptions are provided below:

[0073] Figure 1 The first printing area of ​​printed products,

[0074] Figure 2 The second printing area of ​​the printed product, and

[0075] Figure 3 According to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The interwoven image is formed by the printed areas. Detailed Implementation

[0076] Figure 1 and2 A printed product 1 manufactured by a printing method is shown, wherein the printed product 1 includes a thin carrier material 2, wherein an electronically provided printing file is invoked, the printing file providing data for a subject image 3.

[0077] The printed product 1 includes two printing areas, namely the first printing area 4 and the second printing area 5, which are formed by the printing area of ​​the carrier material 2.

[0078] The two printing areas 4 and 5 differ from each other in size or dimensions and in printed content. The two printing areas 4 and 5 are each formed from data of the subject image 3. Each printing area in the two printing areas 4 and 5 partially reproduces the subject image 3 within multiple quadrilateral segments or image segments of the subject image 3.

[0079] The printed product 1 is used to form a planar interwoven image 6 by vertically intersecting and interlacing longitudinal stripes 7 and transverse stripes 8. The longitudinal stripes 7 that are parallel to each other are, for example, of equal length and equal width. The longitudinal stripes 7 include, for example, longitudinal stripes 7.1 to 7.13.

[0080] The horizontal strips 8 are parallel to each other, for example, all of equal length and equal width. The horizontal strips 8 include, for example, horizontal strips 8.1 to 8.17.

[0081] The arrangement of bars consisting of vertical bars 7 and horizontal bars 8 is defined based on the Cartesian coordinate system.

[0082] The Cartesian coordinate system includes a first coordinate direction and a second coordinate direction. The first coordinate direction and the second coordinate direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0083] The coordinate system includes, for example, a longitudinal direction L and a transverse direction Q, where L and Q are perpendicular to each other.

[0084] The longitudinal strip 7 is oriented along the first coordinate direction L, and the transverse strip 8 is oriented along the second coordinate direction Q. The longitudinal strip 7 and the transverse strip 8 can be generated by the printed product 4 or 5 as carrier material strips that are independent of each other in the longitudinal direction of the strips and are printed on.

[0085] For example, in typical paper carrier materials and image specifications such as DIN-A4 or DIN-A3, the width b of the first printing area 4 along the second coordinate direction Q (see...) Figure 1 The width is greater than, for example, by 0.1 to 0.5 mm than the width of the original subject image or the subject image on which it is based. The additional width is the same from the center BM of the image to the corresponding endpoint of the width of the first printing area 4. The width b of the first printing area 4 is generated electronically. This results in electronic image distortion.

[0086] For example, in typical paper carrier materials and image specifications such as DIN-A4 or DIN-A3, the length l of the first printed area 4 along the first coordinate direction L is greater than the length of the original subject image or the subject image on which it is based, for example, by 0.5 mm. This, for example, compensates for or can compensate for wrapping paths in subsequent interlaced images. The length l of the first printed area 4 is generated electronically. This results in electronic image distortion.

[0087] For example, in typical paper carrier materials and image specifications such as DIN-A4 or DIN-A3, the width b1 of the second printing area 5 along the second coordinate direction Q is larger than the width of the original subject image or the subject image on which it is based, for example, by a value between 0.1 and 1.5 mm. This difference relative to the width of the original subject image is related, for example, to the total width of the subject image and / or the paper strength and / or the paper's flexural strength. This compensates for, for example, differences in the surrounding path.

[0088] Figure 3 The visible side 6 of the completed interwoven image shown is a display of the subject image 3, or a nearly identical display of the subject image 3 on which it is based, and is visible to a human.

[0089] All longitudinal stripes 7 extending parallel to the first coordinate direction L are generated in the first printing area 4 of the interlaced image 6. All transverse stripes 8 extending parallel to the second coordinate direction Q of the interlaced image 6 are generated in the second printing area 5.

[0090] In order to print the first printing area 4 and the second printing area, the subject image 3 is divided into multiple quadrilateral image segments 9, which are reproduced by printing on the vertical strips 7 and the horizontal strips 8.

[0091] Exemplary in Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the figure, the three selected image segments 9 are each marked with an attached figure label.

[0092] The first printing area 4 is used to provide all the longitudinal strips 7, the longitudinal axis of which extends along the first coordinate direction L, wherein the same spacing a is always considered between two adjacent image segments 9 on the longitudinal strip 7 along the first coordinate direction L, wherein the spacing a is related to the material thickness of the carrier material 2.

[0093] Printing areas 4 and 5 are generated in such a way that the entire subject image 3 is divided into multiple quadrilateral image segments 9 in the completed interwoven image 6. Image segment 9 has two parallel outer edges, which are parallel to a first coordinate direction L. Image segment 9 has two additional parallel outer edges, which are parallel to a second coordinate direction.

[0094] Two adjacent longitudinal strips 7 are formed in the first printing area 4 with their longitudinal edges facing each other.

[0095] Between two adjacent horizontal strips 8, between the longitudinal edges of the two adjacent horizontal strips 8 facing each other, an intermediate strip 12 formed of the carrier material of the second printing area is formed along the length of the two horizontal strips 8.

[0096] Areas on the vertical or horizontal stripes that are not reproduced on the visible side of the interwoven image are printed, for example, only partially. For example, the central portion of this area is not printed, or it is printed, for example, in monochrome, such as white.

[0097] For example, longitudinal stripes are separated from each other by their parallel longitudinal edges that are adjacent to each other, for example, by cutting the carrier material.

[0098] Information is printed outside the longitudinal strip area and / or outside the transverse strip area, for example, as a strip-shaped extension 10 on the first printing area 4 and a strip-shaped extension 11 on the second printing area 5, wherein the transverse strips 8 are numbered from "1" to "17".
