Abstract
This disclosure generally relates to adhesive films and laminates and methods for producing and using the same are described herein. Specifically, adhesive films and laminates and methods for producing the same including a unique dendrimeric shaped identifier are discussed herein.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- a control unit;
- at least one motor;
- at least one ink unit adapted to dispense ink in that can be formed into a dendritic trunk pattern;
- at least one ink unit adapted to dispense ink in that can be formed into a dendritic branch pattern;
- a first roll driven by the at least one motor operative to unwind the substrate;
- a laminator unit with at least one roll assembly;
- and
- a second roll driven by the at least one motor and adapted to wind a laminate structure.

A method, comprising:
- providing a printer system, comprising:
- a control unit,
- at least one ink unit,
- a substrate on a first roll,
- a laminator with a pressing roll,
- at least one radiation source, and
- a second roll;
- unrolling at least a portion of the substrate from a first roll;
- generating a dendritic trunk pattern via ink by the at least one ink unit onto the substrate;
- generating a dendritic branch pattern via ink by the at least one ink unit onto the substrate;
- laminating at least one layer onto the ink with the laminator and the pressing roll;
- exposing the ink;
- curing the ink with the at least one radiation source resulting in a set dendritic ink pattern;
- and
- winding a resultant patterned ink containing laminate onto the second roll.
