Abstract
An apparatus and method is provided for forming a textured pattern on a heated substrate. An extruder forms the heated substrate. A textured pattern is applied to a transfer sheet by rotary screening. Thereafter, contact is made between the textured pattern and the substrate for adhering the textured pattern to the substrate. Since the textured pattern has a greater affinity for the substrate than for the transfer sheet, the transfer sheet can be removed from the textured pattern adhered to the substrate. In a preferred application, the textured pattern formed on the substrate can be used as a vertical, horizontal or venetian blind.
