Said print image contains at least two different colors (F1, F2) one of which has a thermochromic property. According to the invention, the print image includes at least one print image element (2, 3, 4, 5) which is at least partially realized in microprint, in which the two colors (F1, F2) are disposed so as to exactly fit or to overlap, thereby producing a print image element (2, 3, 4, 5).
