FYI Bare paint....

FYI Bare paint....

takes you to an interesting site selling water based conductive paint. There are no technical specs available and it doesn't look like you can solder to it but for some applications it might be useful.

even once dry, paint is not water proof so it will fade away with moisture....

Why not cover it with a protective layer?

What paint? Most paints -are- waterproof once dry.

Hi!

You can definitely print antennas and pcbs. You cannot (at least we haven't) been able to solder on printed traces.
We do antenna design evalutation using a Fuji Dimatix printer.
The ink we use is usually silverbased conductive ink made by Tekra, DuPont and others.

Example of printed antennas using Xerox ink:

That is AMAZING!
