Electroninks, the supplier of particle-free silver, gold, and platinum conductive inks and pastes, announced the strategic alliance with Enjet Inc., the ultra-high resolution printing expert to support advanced manufacturing of display, touchpanel, and packaging products. The two companies will leverage their capabilities and resources to demonstrate conductive ink and printing equipment products.
Electroninks and Enjet will work together as a dynamic team to supply conductive ink printing at <10µm in several markets including Micro LED, Mini LED, EMI Shielding, and die-attach/interconnect applications. The combined technology will improve the manufacturing experience for customers by quickening product development and dramatically lowering costs by eliminating process steps such as lithography and etching. Ultimately, the companies envision providing the world’s first <10µm direct 3D and 2D printing solution. With Enjet’s printing nozzles around ~1µm in diameter to achieve high resolution, a particle-free ink is necessary to enable longer and more reliable printing by reducing interruptions. While Enjet has commercialized the fine printing equipment, Electroninks will commercializes grades of particle-free ink that are fully compatible to Enjet’s specific systems.
The alliance went into effect on March 1, 2020. Melbs LeMieux, Electroninks President and Cofounder and Doyoung Byun, Enjet CEO will lead business operations. As part of this strategic alliance, Electroninks and Enjet will begin to deliver fine-pitched metal contacts, 3D electrodes, and narrow via-fill solutions. With Electroninks focusing on particle-free conductive inks, and leveraging Enjet to focus on printing and integration, the partnership is guaranteed to produce state of the art solutions for high resolution printing technology.
