In > addition to providing an alternative to breadboarding and conventional > printed circuits, we demonstrate how this technique readily supports > large area sensors and high frequency applications such as antennas. > Unlike existing methods for printing conductive patterns, conductivity > emerges within a few seconds without the need for special equipment. > We demonstrate that this technique is feasible using commodity inkjet > printers and commercially available ink, for an initial investment of > around US$300. Having presented this exciting new technology, we > explain the tools and techniques we have found useful for the first > time. Our main research contribution is to characterize the > performance of instant inkjet circuits and illustrate a range of > possibilities that are enabled by way of several example applications > which we have built. We believe that this technology will be of > immediate appeal to researchers in the ubiquitous computing domain, > since it supports the fabrication of a variety of functional > electronic device prototypes.
