Something Special

"There are different criteria for judging 'acceptable' printing when it comes to conductive inks," Battersby said.

• Resistance: For one thing, printers probably won't need a densitometer to measure the thickness of the ink being laid to make antennas. They will, however, need an ohmmeter to measure the electrical resistance, or the resistance of electrical flow, through the printed antennas, Battersby said.
