The present invention relates to the field of and processes and printing apparatuses for producing optical effect layers (OEL) comprising magnetically oriented platelet-shaped magnetic or magnetizable pigment particles on a substrate. In particular, the present invention relates to processes using printing apparatuses comprising a first magnetic-field-generating device mounted on a transferring device (TD) and a static second magnetic-field-generating device for producing said OELs as anti-counterfeit means on security documents or security articles or for decorative purposes.

The present invention relates to novel 3-ketocoumarins with improved water compatibility, which are useful as photoinitiators and to compositions comprising said photoinitiators. The invention also relates to compositions comprising said novel 3-ketocoumarins and to a process for photopolymerizing comprising them.

A device for producing a 3D-printed active substance-releasing system with active substance depots, such that a radiation source in operation causes a polymerisation of a layer of the base material on the construction platform and that an inkjet printhead incorporates an active substance mixture, which has at least one active substance, into the base material in a locationally selective manner. A trough is provided, in which a base material and a construction platform are arranged, and polymerising selected regions of a layer of the base material on the construction platform and introducing, by means of an inkjet printing method, an active substance mixture, which has at least one active substance, into the base material and/or polymerised base material in a locationally selective manner in order to thereby create active ingredient depots in the active ingredient-releasing system.
