Hello!

Machine is from Dimatix (US company) DMP-2800. Nozzle diameter is 20 
microns. So far it was used for printing different suspensions, but it 
requires lot of efforts and testing to print self-made materials. There 
are several articles of inkjet printing of nanosized colloids (one is 
here: http://stacks.iop.org/Nano/16/2436 ). We are still learning with 
that. I think copper is not suitable for conductive layers. Silver could 
be easier.
