Nano ePrint to Deliver Printed Electronic Greeting Cards for Tigerprint

“Nano ePrint has overcome many of the obstacles delaying the successful introduction of printed electronics products; their unique programmable approach fits perfectly with the requirements for functional greeting cards and other novelty products such as toys and games,” said Mark Boyden, Technical Manager at Tigerprint.

Nano ePrint’s 2D nano-scale device technology dramatically simplifies the printing of electronic circuits, while simultaneously achieving over 10 times the performance and over 100 times the density of conventional printed electronics.

In addition, Nano ePrint’s architecture for printed programmable logic enables low-cost, high-volume manufacture of a generic circuit design, which can then be tailored for customer-specific requirements as it is integrated into downstream printing processes.

Novalia’s Chief Executive Officer, Dr Kate Stone, commented: “The products being developed for Tigerprint are an ideal showcase for Novalia’s vision of Interactive Printed Media, enabled by Nano ePrint’s nearly invisible printed logic.”

Scott White, Chief Executive Officer of Nano ePrint, stated: “We are very pleased to be working with Tigerprint and Novalia to deliver novel product concepts based on our innovative printed programmable logic architecture, and look forward to seeing these products launched commercially.”
