Conductive Ink: How to Screen Print a Heating Element. Pt 2: Printing!

🎬 Title: Conductive Ink: How to Screen Print a Heating Element. Pt 2: Printing!
🔍 Description: Welcome to NovaCentrix! In this 1:49 video, Ian Rawson, applications engineer, continues a 3-part mini-project of making a printed, flexible heating element on polyimide film. He jumps right in here with loading the screen printer with the water-based silver conductive ink Metalon® HPS-FG32.
The Metalon® HPS-FG32 water-based silver conductive ink he uses can be found here:
- www.novacentri...
This ink has been specifically formulated for screen-printing for flexible applications, with:
- Relatively long screen time for extended printing steps, without drying too soon
- Demonstrates some stretchability, for reliable use
NovaCentrix offers the versatile screen print kit on our webstore here:

🔥 Key Highlights:
• Applying the ink to the printer: Ian demonstrates how to form the right size of ink bead.
• Prep the squeegee and flood the image: It is important to preload the screen with the conductive ink.
• Use the squeegee to drawdown the ink: Be sure to use enough force, then release the screen from the image. Re-flood the screen before you pull off the squeegee.
• Repeat.
• Be sure to watch part 3!

We suggest ordering the NovaCentrix screen kit:
store.novacentrix.com/Screen-printed-electronics-starter-kit-p/910-0092-01.htm (FG32 is available as an optional addition to that kit)
For a custom screen from a professional manufacturer you may contact Mallory Mackenzie at UTZ ([e-mail]) or you may have a screen made at your local art store.
If you have a screen printer available and an interest in making your own screen you can purchase a screen kit from speedball:
