NEW PRODUCT – Conductive Silver Ink Pen – Standard Tip

Window-5

NEW PRODUCT – Conductive Silver Ink Pen – Standard Tip. Experiment with paper electronics with this silver conductive ink pen that will let you draw traces! We like the make of this pen, it has a nice liquid silver ink that flows easily, and it works great. In just 3 minutes from opening the packaging, we made the image above, a coin cell holder with an LED.

There are two ‘tips’ available – standard and micro. The microtip allows for finer control but is a little harder to use (because it doesn’t deposit as much silver at once). See the image above with a demonstration of the kind of traces you can draw with each of the lines.

  1. Is the weight of the pen sufficient to begin the flow of ink, or does the pen need to be squeezed (like some white-out pens) to get a good trace? I’m trying to determine if an “egg-bot circuit” would be feasible. cheers

  2. @glenn – squeezed a bit works best.
