Definitions

• the technical field of the present invention is that of printing and more particularly that of the preparation of documents containing a confidential text.
• Another financial institution uses an A4 format form which includes bottom left corner a pre-cut heel on which an adhesive label has been placed, carbonless, redacted on its front.
• the code is entered there using a printer at impact. When peeling off the label, the code appears and is readable by anyone indiscreet who, after reading, will replace the label exactly in its initial location, without the recipient being able to notice it. Confidentiality is therefore not guarantee.
• Yet another financial institution sends more documents to its customers sophisticated which includes a first sheet kept by the issuer which includes a redacted area of intertwined letters and numbers and its back is fully coated with carbonless layer while the client receives a document in the form of a pocket glued on all four sides by a strip pre-cut in dotted lines.
• the front of the first copy in addition to the emblem of the transmitter and the place of emission, contains an area or the customer's address and the reasons for possible non-distribution are printed, a small rectangular area redacted with interlaced numbers and letters intended to receive the code by carbonless duplication.
• the object of the present invention is to present a simple document, reliable as to the confidentiality, laser or inkjet printed, therefore practical and economical.
• the subject of the present invention is therefore a new document comprising a confidential inscription which should only be read by persons authorized to read it characterized in that it has a redacted area in which there is an area non-stick on which there is an adhesive film, at least partially transparent, for laser or inkjet printing and the back of which is cut in advance, in the thickness of the document but without starting the film, a tab taking care of leave attachments forming seals connecting the tab to the rest of the document, the confidential entry being printed by laser or inkjet and the person authorized taking note of the confidential registration by detaching the tab pre-cut by breaking the ties, making it easier to read the text if desired confidential by gluing the back of the tab to the transparent adhesive film.
• the confidential text is printed by a laser or jet printer ink on the film and it is essential that the area of the tab to be detached is nonstick.
• the non-pre-cut tab fasteners serve to prove that no one tried to read the confidential text printed on the film before the recipient and so they serve as seals.
• the caraway must be sufficient to make impossible to read confidential text printed by laser or inkjet without detaching the tab after having broken the fasteners.
• the new document of the invention allows traditional enveloping. He ... not has no excess thickness except that of the adhesive film for laser printing or inkjet that a person skilled in the art can make very fine, of a few tens of microns, and it is well suited to modern fast printing methods, laser printer or inkjet. Confidentiality can be taken to the extreme since whoever manipulates the printer can ignore confidential information such as codes, which it prints.
• the redacted area of the document also has a pattern of small dots.
• the invention is meant by point any inscription of small size because the usual circular shape of the points is not a feature of the invention.
• the presence of small dots has only to further hamper the reading of inscriptions made by laser printer or inkjet.
• the non-stick area has no appreciable thickness. This is achieved in particular by depositing the product non-stick, known to those skilled in the art, when printing redaction.
• a film is used matt polyester adhesive for laser or inkjet printing which is well known by one skilled in the art.
• the tab pre-cut has no common edge with the edges of the entire document, and there thus forms a sort of island. This feature is important for ensuring perfect confidentiality because if the tab were to have a common edge with the document an intruder might try to read the confidential text by raising slightly the film tab.
• the confidential inscription is printed in inversion, i.e. it is printed so that it can be read normally when you turn the document over on its back after removing the tab Pluck.
• the adhesive film overflows the non-stick area and is glued to it on the paper backing so that when separates the film from the support, the film does not tear while the paper support is shredded.
• This is achieved by coating either the plastic film or the paper backing, i.e. the two surfaces of a permanent adhesive whose resistance to the pullout is greater than that of the pullout resistance of the fibers which constitute the screen of the paper support, and by choosing a film more resistant to as the paper backing.
• Those skilled in the art will be able to choose both the adhesive which should be strong enough that the film should be thick enough.
• the tab pre-cut overflows the adhesive film and that the sealing fasteners are arranged on the cut overflowing the adhesive film.
• At least one tab for example of the shape and size of the last phalanx of the thumb, protruding the non-stick area, part of which is covered by the adhesive film while the other part overflows and has ties in the precut.
• the redacted area covers the area non-stick around which safety markings have been printed legible which continues without fracture of the non-stick zone towards its outside.
• the inscriptions are said to be legible if they can be read both on the redacted area and around it.
• Safety markings are white in the redacted area.
• the redacted area could also overflow the non-stick area with safety markings all in white.
• the inscriptions covered by this last characteristic are said to be security because they constitute an additional means of improving the reliability of confidentiality in the since, after having disconnected the tongue from the rope, it will not be possible to reconstruct the whole without producing visible breaks in the inscriptions of security.
• the adhesiveness of the film on the surface which corresponds to the redacted area in applying a non-stick substance to the film before applying the adhesive may be useful in preventing the recipient authorized to read the confidential inscription, to stick the film on any support.
• the user of a bank card may have the bad idea of sticking the film on it to keep his code in mind whenever he uses his card. Besides that this practice is contrary to the recommendations of banks which advocate that codes be memorized and written down nowhere, the film can come off in the devices having to handle the card, especially ATMs, which can cause the failure.
• the substance non-stick inserted between the film and the adhesive of the adhesive film is a silicone.
• the present invention also relates to the method for preventing the reading of a confidential inscription printed by laser or inkjet in a redacted area document in which there is a non-stick area, on which there is a adhesive film for laser or inkjet at least partially transparent, and on the back of which we cut in advance, in the thickness of the document but without starting the film, a tongue taking care to leave fasteners forming seals connecting the tongue the rest of the document, the authorized person reading the registration confidential by detaching the precut tab by breaking the fasteners, facilitating if she wishes her reading of the confidential text by gluing the back of the tab on the transparent adhesive film.
• the present invention also relates to the method for preventing a third party not authorized to read by leaving intact a confidential document characterized in that one provides the document with at least one of the characteristics of the set consisting of confidential registration is written by laser printer or inkjet on a film adhesive plumb with a redacted area, we add a screen in small dots in the redacted area of the document, the edges of the pre-cut tab are never confused with those of the confidential document, the surface of the signs and characters confidential is covered with less than 100% ink or toner.
• the present invention further relates to the method for highlighting any attempted breach of confidentiality in a confidential document according to the invention characterized in that it is at least one element of the assembly constituted by fasteners forming seals connect the pre-cut tab to the rest of the document, an adhesive film which cannot be lifted from its support, in areas where it is not coated with a non-stick layer, without defibrating the backing paper, the non-stick area covers the redacted area and inscriptions have been printed on the periphery of the non-stick area that continue without breaking the non-stick area to the outside and which are legible both in the non-stick area and outside.
• the invention also relates to the method of preparing a confidential document according to the invention characterized in that one prints a redacted area on the document including a non-stick area on which an adhesive film is placed, at least partially transparent, for laser or inkjet printing and on the back of the document, at the place where the film is, we cut in advance, in the thickness of the document without starting the film, a tab taking care to leave fasteners forming seals, then the confidential text is printed in the laser or inkjet area delimited by the film by inkjet or by laser.
• the present invention also relates to the method for reading a text. confidential in a confidential document according to the invention characterized in that one breaks the fasteners forming seals of the precut tab and that one reads the confidential text on the adhesive film after, if desired, laying it flat on a plain surface whose color contrasts with the confidential inscription of the film adhesive.
• the present invention further relates to the method for preventing the adhesive film bearing the confidential entry of the confidential document according to the invention may be glued on another support characterized in that one interposes on the surface to directly above the redacted area, between the film itself and the adhesive, a layer non-stick which can in particular be made of silicone.
• EXAMPLE Document transmitting the code of a credit card.
• the non-confidential inscriptions are printed with the laser printer and a block A, of rectangular shape, redacted and provided with a screen of small dots, 90 mm long by 30 mm high and located 15 mm from the top and right edges.
• a non-stick coating is deposited forming a block B of 76 by 20 mm located in the middle of block A.
• a permanently adhesive film is applied over the entire surface of paver A.
• matt polyester for laser printing 50 microns thick.
• a C tab of 60 by 15 mm leaving eight fasteners which connect the tab to the rest of the sheet, 4 fasteners are placed at the four corners of the tongue, the other four are regularly arranged every 20 mm along the two long edges.
• the back of tab C is white and therefore does not have any registration.
• the present invention is in no way limited to the present example and to the explanations which preceded it and it also concerns all the achievements evident to man of art that flow from the spirit of the invention.
• the area could even occupy the entire surface of the A4 document, minus a border about 1 cm on all sides.
• the present invention is not limited to A4 format documents which is in no way characteristic of the invention or of a flat print. We could just as well use any other printing mode, especially continuous.
