Author: Kyle Pucci, kyle@imagexpert.com , ImageXpert The ImageXpert Perspective Inkjet printing has been around for decades, but in the world of printed electronics it is still an emerging technology — one that is opening doors to applications that traditional coating and deposition methods cannot reach. At ImageXpert, we have had a front row seat to this evolution. For more than 30 years, we’ve helped engineers and researchers understand, test, and optimize inkjet systems. Our equipment is found in hundreds of labs worldwide, giving us the chance to see firsthand what works, what doesn’t, and what separates a laboratory experiment from a production-ready process. Unlike print shops or graphic arts applications where speed and cost are the primary drivers, printed electronics demand precision and adaptability. The fluids are often unconventional: nanoparticle dispersions, high-viscosity coatings, or conductive inks. The layers can be extremely thin, sometimes just a few hundred nanometers, or conversely quite thick, exceeding one hundred microns. In every case, the choice of printhead determines whether the process succeeds or fails. We are Exhibiting! Visit our booth at the MicroLED Connect & AR/VR Connect in Eindhoven on 24-25 September 2025 Over the years, we’ve worked with companies who are brand new to inkjet, guiding them through early ink trials, waveform optimization, and eventually into pilot production. We’ve also partnered with seasoned electronics manufacturers wh...

Authors: Alan Brown , Dr. Jay R Dorfman , Zac Hudson , Brandon Peters Contact: abrown@nagasechemtex.com , Nagase ChemteX America, LLC   In the rapidly evolving field of Printed Electronics, the demand for robust, durable, and highly stretchable conductive inks is paramount for advancing applications in wearable technology and hybrid electronics. While existing conductive inks offer some degree of stretchability, they often exhibit a trade-off between mechanical resilience and electrical performance, leading to a significant increase in resistivity under strain. This limitation poses a critical challenge for engineers designing products that require consistent electrical conductivity across a wide range of motion. Nagase ChemteX America, LLC. (NCU) has developed a next-generation conductive ink, CI-1096, that is formulated to address this gap by providing superior stretchability while maintaining excellent and stable electrical resistivity. Our work constitutes a novel material solution that enables the development of more reliable and versatile stretchable electronic devices, paving the way for future innovations in biomedical sensors, smart textiles, and flexible displays. Stretch Ink Wearable Electrode   NCU began this project with the goals of developing a Ag ink with increased stretchability, superior durability and high conductivity compared to CI-1036, an NCU Ag ink that has been on the market >10 years. This paper will document some of the challenges incurred during de...

As manufacturing demands increase, femtosecond lasers have become an essential technology, playing a critical role in enabling these advancements. In this article, we explore how femtosecond lasers are shaping the development of consumer electronics and powering emerging manufacturing technologies. Figure 1. Fan-out circuit on PI. Courtesy of Akoneer Lasers have long contributed to technological progress across various domains - from telecommunications and metrology to automotive, semiconductor, and medical sectors. Among the different laser types, femtosecond lasers stand out due to their extremely short pulse duration (on the order of 10⁻¹⁵ seconds). When tightly focused, they enable highly localized energy delivery in both time and space, vaporizing material with minimal thermal effects - a process known as „cold“ ablation. Figure 2.

Author:  Maryam Bari  & Ashwani Jain   PINA CREATION   Unlocking printable, low-temperature charge transport layers for next-generation optoelectronics   As next-generation optoelectronic technologies—such as  Perovskite solar cells (PSCs), OLED displays, and Organic photovoltaics (OPVs) —move from lab to large-scale manufacturing, the pressure is on to find materials that are  not only high-performing, but scalable, stable, and compatible with printed device architectures .   A critical bottleneck remains the  Electron Transport Layer (ETL)  and  Hole Transport Layer (HTL) . For technologies relying on delicate or flexible substrates, traditional materials such as Organic Semiconductors and traditional metal oxide inks pose serious limitations. High-temperature processing, moisture sensitivity, high cost, and limited lifetime all threaten the viability of commercial deployment.   At  PINA Creation , we’ve developed a line of  ready-to-use SnO₂, NiO and ZnO nano inks  that overcome these barriers and unlock practical, large-area fabrication for flexible and rigid optoelectronics. We are Exhibiting in Berlin. Visit our booth at the TechBlick Perovskite Connect  event co-located with the  Future of Electronics RESHAPED  on 22-23 Oc...
