Abstract

Printed electronics technology has the potential to meet the demands of tagging products and objects. Scientists can use functional polymers to print electronic structures and simple electronic devices and circuits. Additive printing can decrease the number of process steps as it deposits material where needed, as compared to standard electronic manufacturing processes. Offset printing is the most widespread graphic arts printing technology and the first choice for printing simple ID codes on paper. The carbon-based conductive ink Printacarb alpha is applicable for different type of dry offset printing machine. This patented ink's drying mechanism and cleaning do not differ from standard inks and the conductive layer can be optically hidden and protected against environmental exposure, as it can be overprinted and lacquered without deficiency. Permanently integrating printed electronic labels with plastic parts have also created significant opportunities for many potential applications.
