Manufacturing & Production
Architected Porous Stamp for Liquid Transfer Printing
Mass production roll-to-roll printing techniques such as flexography, gravure, and offset are undergoing re-examination for their suitability in the emerging area of printed electronics. These methods rely on high speed ink-transfer mechanisms using direct print-form to substrate contact. Commonly occurring defects such as haloing, featuring, and bridging can impact the performance of printed materials for electronics applications. To improve the viability of these approaches, strategies are needed to increase print fidelity and film uniformity.
