This paper reports progress in sensor fabrication by
the conductive lithographic film (CLF) printing process.Work describing
strain-sensitive structures manufactured using a modified
printing process and conductive inks is addressed. The performance
of a “single-ink” strain-sensitive structure when printed
on six alternative substrates (GlossArt, PolyArt, Teslin, Mylar C,
Melinex, and Kapton) is analyzed. Though not intending to compete
with conventional gauges in high-tolerance measurement, the
structures exhibit properties that indicate suitability for novel applications.
