A method for manufacturing the security element transfer material, a method for the register-accurate transfer of security elements from the security element transfer material to a value document substrate, and a value document which was equipped with a security element while employing the security element transfer material, wherein the security element transfer material has a temporary carrier material and a plurality of security elements and a plurality of register mark elements which are arranged on a main area of the temporary carrier material and have a layered composite structure. Each register mark element represents a register mark or contains a register mark, and each register mark is assigned to at least one security element. Apart from the security elements and the register mark elements, the temporary carrier material is free from layered composite material.

Security element transfer material for transfer, in good register, of security elements to value documents

A semi-transparent security element which upon viewing in incident light and in transmitted light has different colors, comprises either (a) a transparent carrier substrate having a front side and a back side. The front side has a metallic layer 'V-a' dyed in a first color, obtainable by printing technology by means of dyed metal pigments. The back side has an ink layer appearing in a second color 'R-a' and a metallic layer &#x201c;R-b&#x201d; dyed in a first color, obtainable by printing technology by means of dyed metal pigments; or (b) a transparent carrier substrate having a front side and a back side. The front side has a semi-transparent metallic layer &#x201c;V-A&#x201d; and an ink layer appearing in a first color &#x201c;V-B&#x201d; and the back side has an ink layer &#x201c;R-A&#x201d; appearing in a second color, a semi-transparent metallic layer &#x201c;R-B&#x201d; and an ink layer &#x201c;R-C&#x201d; appearing in a first color.
