Colorful Conductive Inks

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Creative Materials Offers Vibrant Alternatives to Silver and Carbon Inks

— November 16, 2016 — Marketing
Conductive inks have been around for quite some time now, but for the most part, they have only been offered in colors like silver and carbon that lack vibrancy and aesthetic value. Creative Materials offers an alternative to these somewhat bland options with its Colored Electrically Conductive Inks. These Colored Electrically Conductive Inks are offered in black and three basic primary colors, which can be blended to create fully customized ink color blends for a range of projects.

As these inks are especially resistant to abrasion, scratching, flexing and creasing, they have the potential to be used in a wide range of applications, including everything from wearables and smart clothing pieces to interactive packaging and poster designs.
Trend Themes
1. Colored Conductive Inks - Innovative alternatives to traditional silver and carbon inks are being developed, offering improved vibrancy and customization options.
2. Resistant Conductive Inks - Conductive inks that are resistant to abrasion, flexing, and creasing offer possibilities for use in various industries.
3. Customizable Conductive Inks - The ability to blend and customize ink color blends offers unique opportunities for product and packaging design.
Industry Implications
1. Wearable Technology - The abrasion-resistant qualities of these colored conductive inks make them ideal for use in flexible and wearable technology, providing a more aesthetically pleasing option to traditional conductive inks.
2. Product Packaging - These colored conductive inks offer the opportunity for interactive and customized packaging design, delivering a more engaging and personalized consumer experience.
3. Smart Textiles - Smart clothing can utilize these conductive inks to create vibrant, eye-catching designs while still being able to function as intended due to their resistant qualities.
