Printing conductive regions on plastic
Archiver
Posts: 46,084
This is slightly off-topic, but does anyone know how to print a conductive
material on a piece of transparency? (I'm using a charge-transfer panel to
do inductive switches...) I thought that one might be able to use that
laser toner stuff that you could apply metallic foil to, but maybe there's
a better / more "professional" way of doing it.
Suggestions? Failing that, where I can get a really thin PCB... I suppose
the other way to do is to "draw" it on with one of those metallic pens (I
know this comes up fairly frequently, but what's a good source of
conductive pens?)

You use a silkscreen (like used for tee-shirts) and apply conductive silver
or carbon ink.
Dupont is one source of the ink.
