T-ink Conductive Ink By Clay Hewett
Manufacturing • Just like regular Ink • Inexpensive • Conducts electrical current • Uses conductive plastics • Prints on almost anything • Used in small spaces • High-speed printing
Comparison Conductive Ink (Ink is not noticeable) Traditional Wires
Applications • Paper batteries • Military uniforms • Wall paper with built in light switches • Bendable computer displays • Children’s toys; e.g. Color’n Drive, Inflatable Radio • Speakers
Problems • More resistance • Cannot compare to regular silicon chips • Can’t perform “smart” operations like a calculator
