I visited MIT Media Lab the other day, and met Mr. Yoshihiro Kawahara. He walked me through his lab, and showed me his new project "Instant Inkjet Circuits".
It is a project to easily make circuit boards using Inkjet Printer.
The first thing he showed me was writing with a pen. Connected tester, and we can see it has electricity flowing. Awesome, that was super easy!
The next thing we can do is use a normal inkjet printer and print circuits. There are a lot of printers that are specifically created to print circuits, but this solution is awesome because you can use existing inkjet printers you already have.
This is how it looks.
This is the ink cartridge.
You can load the cartridge with conductive silver ink like this.
And insert the cartridge and print circuit boards with a normal printer.
If you want to know more details, you can read the paper:

Thank you Kawahara sensei!
