Abstract: The invention relates to a safety feature, comprising a carrier substrate onto which a continuous-tone image is printed, characterized in that the continuous-tone image is transferred into a high-resolution bar element by a morphologic transition.

Abstract: Sheet material with security features disposed on front and reverse side with length and side registration precision, characterized in that a carrier substrate is imprinted with the corresponding features on both sides with gage-pin position accuracy, the tolerance being maximally ±100 ?m.

Abstract: Process for producing a partially metalized substrate, characterized by the following process steps: a) provision of a first substrate, b) partial printing or coating of the substrate with a surface coating which adheres only weakly to the substrate, c) application of a full-area metal layer, d) lamination to an adhesive-coated second substrate and e) detachment of this second adhesive-coated substrate, as a result of which the weakly adhering surface coating with the metallic layer on top of it is detached from the first substrate and a structured metallic layer thus remains on the first substrate.

Abstract: Method for the production of a metallized carrier substrate, characterized in that a) in a first step in a digital printing method a printing ink with melt-on capability is partially applied onto a carrier substrate, b) in a second step metallization of the carrier substrate over the entire surface takes place, c) in a third step the carrier substrate is heated, wherein the printing ink with melt-on capability applied in the first step is melted, whereupon d) in a fourth step the printing ink, which is now liquid, together with the superjacent metal layer is removed through mechanical action or by means of ultrasonic treatment.

Abstract: Sheet material with security features disposed on front and reverse side with length and side registration precision, characterized in that a carrier substrate is imprinted with the corresponding features on both sides with gage-pin position accuracy, the tolerance being maximally±100 ?m.

Abstract: The invention relates to printed strip-type materials, especially for covering containers, possible imprints being applied to the side opposing the filler and/or to the side facing the filler by means of digital printing.
