Conductive Ink: How to Make a Printed Electronics Capacitive Sensor. Pt 2: Printing!

🎬 Title: Conductive Ink: How to Make a Printed Electronics Capacitive Sensor. Pt 2: Printing!
🔍 Description: Welcome to NovaCentrix! In this 5:56 video, Dr. Aoife Celoria continues her 2-part mini-project to make a printed electronics sensor using conductive inks on paper. In this part, she focuses on how to set up and use the consumer Epson inkjet printer. Both the silver conductive ink and the carbon resistive ink are printed via this off-the-shelf consumer desktop piezo printer.
The Metalon® JS-B25P inkjet water-based silver conductive ink she uses can be found here:

The Metalon® JR-DEV inkjet water-based carbon resistive ink she uses has been updated to the following options, to be selected based on desired resistance range:

We offer on our webstore an Epson consumer inkjet printer well suited for use with certain of the Metalon inkjet inks, including the JS-B25P.

Please note that NovaCentrix also offers the following inkjet starter kit, to go with the Epson inkjet printer above. This kit includes a 100ml amount of the JS-B25P as well as an empty refillable cartridge for the EcoTank ET-M1170, a 10-sheet pack of the matched Novele substrate, and instructions for use. The Novele is a PET film that has been treated with a silica meso-porous coating, resulting in a very inkjet-friendly substrate.

🔥 Key Highlights:
• Fill the empty cartridge: with the JS-B25P silver conductive ink or the carbon resistive ink.
• Load the cartridge into the printer: The ink takes the place of what would have been the black ink in the printer.
• Set up the printer software and print a test page: Be sure to set the print to greyscale, not color.
• What is the Novele substrate used? This is a PET film that has been treated with a silica meso-porous coating, resulting in a very inkjet-friendly substrate. It is available on the NovaCentrix webstore and in the inkjet printing kit. Inkjet photo paper also works well.
• Print!
• Cure if possible to improve the conductivity, but not necessary. Of course we use a PulseForge® tool.
🌟 Why Watch? This video captures several years of experience in the supplies and preparation needed for preparing an inkjet-printed capacitive sensor, in this case to a combination of paper and polymer substrates. Learn how to use an off-the-shelf inkjet printer with conductive inks!
