LC Elektronik – Silver is expensive. So why do we still print with it?
Imagine a customer looking at the bill of materials for a printed electronic circuit. Everything seems reasonable until they see the price of conductive silver ink. Then comes a question that anyone working in printed electronics has probably heard many times: “Do we really need to use silver?” It is a fair question. Silver is […]

DP Patterning opens new flexible electronics manufacturing facility
DP Patterning has officially opened its new headquarters and manufacturing facility in Norrköping, Sweden. The 3,500-square-metre site will support the company’s continued growth and large-scale production of flexible electronics using its patented Dry Phase Patterning technology. Unlike conventional manufacturing methods based on chemical etching or conductive silver inks, DP Patterning uses a dry, mechanical roll-to-roll […]
LC Elektronik – “Screen printing is old. And that’s why it’s so good.”
We often assume that newer means better. A newer machine must be better than an older one, and a newer printing method must surely be more suitable for modern electronics than a process that has existed for more than a hundred years. Then we enter a factory producing printed electronics and discover something interesting. Silver […]
TracXon scales sustainable printed electronics
Can printed electronics offer a scalable alternative to conventional printed circuit boards? TNO at Holst Centre spin‑off TracXon is showing how a technology developed in the lab can move towards industrial‑scale production. Electronics are everywhere, but the way they are manufactured comes with a significant environmental footprint. Conventional printed circuit boards (PCBs) rely on resource‑intensive […]
