Conductive ink

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Conductive ink is an ink that is conductive, allowing a circuit to be drawn or printed on a variety of materials including paper. It usually contains powdered silver and carbon.

Conductive ink is a cheap way to print circuit boards on paper. Silver ink is used to improvise or repair circuits on circuit boards. Computer keyboards contain membranes with printed circuits that sense when a key is pressed. Windshield defrosters are also printed.
