Digital manufacturing of electrically conductive lines on flexible, soft polymers represents a key step for the 3D integration of electronic devices. Yet, the tradeoff between throughput and performance, once substrate and conducting materials are fixed, is an often‐missing step in the literature. Herein, Ag conductive lines printed on a soft polymer are realized by means of piezoelectric inkjet printing, and three printing methods are compared to benchmark their output: drop on position, print on fly, and shingle method.
