A material (1) in the form of sheets or a web is provided with a watermarklike pattern (12) in the form of a text, figure or similar identification mark visible or displayable in transmitted light by means of relieflike mechanical working off of material, for example grinding, milling etc., corresponding to the desired pattern (12).
Claims4
A method of manufacturing a material web having a predetermined watermarklike pattern, said method comprising the steps of imprinting a relieflike matrix corresponding to said pattern against one side of said web, and removing material from raised regions on the opposite side of said web overlying said matrix, whereby said pattern having mutually adjoining positions of different thickness and degree of light transmittance are formed in said material web, said removing step includes placing the web between said relieflike matrix conforming with said predetermined pattern and a rotating grinding roller, whereby material is removed along the regions as the regions are pressed against said roller by said matrix.
