METHOD FOR CREATING A DIGITAL TAG FOR MARKING ARTICLES

Resumen de: WO2025127961A1

In a method for creating a digital tag for the security marking of articles, a sequence of dots is applied to an article using a luminescent dye, the resulting tag is exposed to ultraviolet light having a wavelength of 250-400 nm, the tag is read using a digital photographic camera, and the obtained image is processed. For each dot of the tag, a luminescence spectrum is obtained consisting of four bands, each of which is correlated with a whole number from 0 to 255 according to the intensity thereof. Half of the dots form a QR code in a horizontal direction, where the dots are correlated with whole numbers and a green component of an RGB code is produced, and the other half of the dots form the QR code in a vertical direction, with a red component of the RGB code being produced. Upon formation of the coloured QR code, each of the dots thereof is situated at the intersection of two components of the RGB code and contains a colour code, where each component contains from 0 to 255 dots: R is from 0 to 255, G is from 0 to 255, and B is equal to 0.

DUAL INFRARED GLOSS EFFECT

Resumen de: EP4572303A1

A method, system and apparatus for rendering a gloss effect on a recording medium, can involve rendering a foreground pattern using a first ink composition comprising infrared absorbing colors, wherein said first ink is lightened with lightening parameters by the addition of paper white holes and rendering a background pattern using a second ink composition comprising a process or spot color, wherein said second ink is darkened with darkening parameters by the addition of infrared absorbing colors that have different amounts of infrared absorbing colors than that of the first ink composition. The lightening parameters and the darkening parameters are adjustable to ensure that the first and second inks appear approximately the same at printed sizes. Anisotropic properties can be introduced to the first and second inks, causing non-uniformity in their reflection of light in different directions when viewed under a light source, thereby creating a gloss effect renderable on a recording medium. An infrared (IR) signal can be embedded within the gloss effect to enable detection of the gloss effect using an IR sensor or an IR device.
