25 μm wide, conductive silver tracks on untreated and unstructured polyimide have been produced by inkjet printing using standard 10 pL printheads. This was achieved by reducing the droplet size to ∼2 pL by tailoring the waveform and by heating the print cartridge and the substrate to 55 °C. A simple formula was used to predict the track width.
