In the graphic industry, a clear business opportunity has been identified using conventional printing technologies for the manufacture of high-performance, low-cost electronic products. However, despite having identified the business opportunity, often the developments can not be carried out because the right materials are not found. Offset Lithography appears as the most suitable technique for paper substrates but it is not used in Printed Electronics due to the lack of conductive materials appropriated for this printing technology. In this work the goal is to obtain a conductive offset ink that does not currently exist on the market. This achievement would mean a leap towards the manufacture of electronic products through offset on a more ecological substrate such as paper.
