Investigation on lineworks printed with different types of flexographic printing forms for purposes of printed electronics

Nowadays one can observe fast development of materials and technologies dedicated to inexpensive mass production of electronic devices with conventional printing techniques. One of them is flexography. In this paper investigation on quality of lineworks printed with flexographic printing technique for purposes of printed electronics is presented. There was analysed influence of different printing forms on printed elements reproduction accuracy. Results obtained with conventional graphic ink with commercially available conductive ink were compared as well. Aspects which should be taken under consideration when implementing flexography to printed electronics applications have been specified.
