Abstract
A conductive transfer for application to a surface is described. The conductive transfer comprises first and second non-conductive ink layers and an electrically conductive layer positioned between the first and second non-conductive ink layers. The conductive transfer also includes an adhesive layer for adhering the conductive transfer to the surface of an article.
Claims20
A conductive transfer for application to a surface, comprising:
- a first non-conductive ink layer and a second non-conductive ink layer;
- an electrically conductive layer positioned between said first non-conductive ink layer and said second non-conductive ink layer;
- and
- an adhesive layer for adhering said conductive transfer to a surface.
A method of producing a conductive transfer for application to a surface, comprising the steps of:
- printing a non-conductive ink onto a substrate to produce a first non-conductive ink layer;
- printing an electrically conductive ink onto said first non-conductive ink layer to produce an electrically conductive ink layer;
- printing said non-conductive ink over said electrically conductive layer to produce a second non-conductive ink layer;
- and
- printing an adhesive material over said second non-conductive ink layer to produce an adhesive layer.
A method of applying a conductive transfer to a surface, comprising the steps of:
- obtaining a conductive transfer having a first non-conductive ink layer, a second non-conductive ink layer, and an electrically conductive layer positioned between said first non-conductive ink layer and said second non-conductive ink layer;
- positioning said conductive transfer onto a surface;
- and
- applying at least one of heat or pressure to said conductive transfer such that said conductive transfer adheres to said surface.
