Two for the Price of One

摘要

More than a year ago I wrote of the use of certain printing strategies to help offset the high cost of silver ("Solar Strategies to Offset the Rising Cost of Silver," Circuits Assembly, September 2011). These ranged from the advancing accuracy of screen technology and metallization print platforms (which, by the way, have already helped reduce silver paste volume requirements) to print-on-print and dual-print techniques, to a complete change in materials. At the time, these were proven approaches to silver reduction, but I had no practical figures to share. Now I do.
