Printing of multiple inks to achieve precision registration during subsequent processing

A method of providing a substrate having a predetermined pattern thereon comprising:

• providing a printing roll, a first ink dispenser, and a second ink dispenser;
• the first ink dispenser and the second ink dispenser positioned to dispense a first ink and a second ink onto the printing roll in separate first and second zones respectively;
• dispensing the first ink soluble in a selected solvent into the first zone with the first ink dispenser and dispensing the second ink that is non-soluble in the selected solvent into the second zone with the second ink dispenser;
• advancing the substrate against the printing roll printing fiducial marks onto the substrate with the second ink, while simultaneously printing the predetermined pattern onto the substrate with the first ink;
• sputtering a layer of conductive material onto the substrate over the predetermined pattern;
• and
• rinsing the substrate with the selected solvent removing the first ink and the predetermined pattern while leaving the fiducial marks on the substrate.
