Resumen
[0001] It permits marking or recording motifs (301) on surfaces whereon there has been deposited previously a fluorescent polymer layer (300) through a procedure of plasma polymerisation (100) of molecules of a colourant. The procedure combines the special characteristics of the polymer layers making them suitable for being capable of recording diverse motifs (301) thereon, and the possibility of recording by laser (101) or other techniques. Among such characteristics should be mentioned the possibility of a notable visual effect, including for thicknesses of 100 nm, the use of layers non-observable when illuminated with visible light, the high optical quality (transparency) thereof, or the facility wherewith they may be processed by subsequent treatments, including diverse laser treatments (101).
