Abstract
Abstract A security with a paper substrate which exhibits identifying marks in the form of color patterns. The color patterns are arranged in the substance of the paper substrate in such a manner that the normal structure of the fibres in the substance of the paper layer is not disturbed by the color patterns. In the manufacture of the security, the color pattern is sprayed on to the not yet completely finished non-woven fibre during the formation of the paper sheet, and is preferably sprayed on to a non-woven fibre which is then united to a second non-woven fibre.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
54 words
Method for manufacturing a paper security with identifying marks printed in the substance of the paper comprising: forming a non-woven wet fibrous web on a continuously working paper making machine from paper pulp; continuously passing the wet fibrous web while on the paper making machine past an ink jet printer controlled by micro processor;
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
54 words
Method for manufacturing a paper security with identifying marks printed in the substance of the paper comprising: forming a non-woven wet fibrous web on a continuously working paper making machine from paper pulp; continuously passing the wet fibrous web while on the paper making machine past an ink jet printer controlled by micro processor;
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
98 words
printing a pattern onto the wet fibrous web with the ink jet printer; controlling the ink jet printer to print a desired pattern by a micro processor, said micro processor further controlling the ink jet printer to change or vary the printed pattern on the web while the web is continually being formed on the paper making machine; adjusting said fibrous web to a desired thickness by adding an additional layer of non-woven fibers to the printed surface of the wet fibrous web on the paper making machine; and draining, couching and drying said web of desired thickness.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
98 words
printing a pattern onto the wet fibrous web with the ink jet printer; controlling the ink jet printer to print a desired pattern by a micro processor, said micro processor further controlling the ink jet printer to change or vary the printed pattern on the web while the web is continually being formed on the paper making machine; adjusting said fibrous web to a desired thickness by adding an additional layer of non-woven fibers to the printed surface of the wet fibrous web on the paper making machine; and draining, couching and drying said web of desired thickness.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
14 words
The method of claim 1, wherein the ink jet printer is a matrix printer.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
18 words
The method of claim 1, wherein the pattern is applied between the screens of a multiscreen paper machine.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
37 words
The method of claim 1, wherein the ink jet printer is moved perpendicular to the direction of transport of the non-woven fibrous web and a dye solution is applied to said web by said ink jet printer.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
28 words
The method of claim 1, wherein said pattern is formed from a material selected from the group consisting of fluorescent, magnetic and electrically conductive materials and mixtures thereof.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
22 words
The method of claim 1, wherein said pattern displays the form of a block code or of the form of alphanumeric characters.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
12 words
The method of claim 1, wherein said pattern comprises a serial number.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
18 words
The method of claim 1, wherein said pattern contains coded information by way of interruptions and/or geometric designs.
