Until recently, Inkjet printing technologies are relatively isolated industry especially for conventional printing. Thus, there was no need to have any standardized evaluation methods for those technologies. However, rise of additive manufacturing and expansion of printed electronics are changing that. Especially, rapid expansion of inkjet printing application in printed electronics requests industries to have standard evaluation methods of that printing. As an International Standardization Organization for Printed Electronics, IEC TC 119 answers that request.
