Investigation of Surface Profile Characteristics in Polymer Substrates Printed Using Woven Labels

Printing on polymer clothing are textile industry major requirement. Woven label print machines are used in this study. Printing obtained on polymer substrate should be accessible and cost effective method. Design from free hand sketch in app and Computer Aided Design (CAD) direct use in polymer print machines are studied. The integration of polymer, clothing, paper analytical devices, stick paper devices, digital, electronic equipments, apps and surface characterization machines that are surface profilometer are needed. In this paper we develop woven label printing on the polymer. We draw using app. The design is printed on paper, stick paper and polymer. We have to perform scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) on the paper and stick paper. In this study we use the woven label machines. We print 100 prints on the woven label. We study the surface characteristics of the printed design on the cloth/polymer using surface profilometer. We obtain the vertical height features. Here we consider six random regions on the polymer that has the print. We understand from the surface characterization the polymer print features are coil. The vertical heights of the coils in various regions does vary from 50 µm to 400 µm. The details of the polymer need further study. We have to perform scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) on the cloth with and without woven label print on the polymer cloth. The key results need numerical formula for the polymer. That is scope for the future. The details of the woven label equipment are needed for the development and progress of the methodology. There is research gap in this section. Here, we provide the shop details of the woven label equipment. The woven label printer prints at once 2000 to 10,000 same prints on each cloth. The cloth is square shape. The details of the printed woven label are given. We have to input the designs of our free hand sketch, apps and CAD. The printing is safe handling and cost effective. This is the novelty of the printer. We have placed the woven label image printed on the cloth on another substrate cloth. We repeat the study varying the number of woven label cloth from 1 to 100. The print on polymer from software can find applications for color drawings to print, sensors and digital polymer electronics applications.
