Mitsubishi Paper Mills (MPM) has announced the product
launch of silver nano particle ink suitable for industrial inkjet
printheads and of special media onto which said ink is printed.
This technology was exhibited alongside live circuit printing
demonstrations at the MPM stand at DRUPA 2012, the
world’s largest international printing and media industrial fair, in
Düsseldorf, Germany, from May 3 through 16.
Large and durable industrial inkjet printheads are widely
used in such industries as cloth printing, graphic printing,
architectural decor, and display manufacturing. Applications
in the field of printed electronics are also |

expected in the near
future. Using the silver nano particle ink on special media
allows the manufacture of RFID (radio frequency identification)
antennas, various sensor electrodes and other components
“simply by printing” and without any post-process sintering.
The eco-friendly waterborne silver nano particle ink
is manufactured using an MPM proprietary process. The
company has also started supplying trial ink kits for the highperformance
material printers made by Fujifilm Dimatix, Inc.
which are widely used in research and development work.
MPM specialized media have a unique ink receiving layer
on either polyester film or resin-coated paper, so the high
resolution pattern can be obtained by making the best use
of the fine printhead. Furthermore, printed patterns are highly
resistant against scratching and bending due to the precisely
designed layer structure. Hence customers no longer suffer
extensive damage from peel-off and crack of the pattern.
