Benchmark between printing techniques.

Technology	Advantages	Drawbacks
Screen printing	High printing speed Availability of many materials Realization of complex & multilayer devices	Need for masks Low spatial resolution Time consuming
Low-cost inkjet piezoelectric printers	Good spatial resolution (e.g., 5760 × 1440 dpi) Repeatability (~300 μm) Maskless Low-cost printing system Low-cost production	Unsuitable printing speed for mass production Unsuitable cost of inks for mass production Restricted kinds of conductive and functional materials
Professional inkjet systems	High spatial resolution Repeatability range [5 μm–25 μm] Maskless Compatibility with several materials Low-cost production	High cost printing system
Mixedscreen printing & low-cost Inkjet printing	Availability of many materials Good spatial resolution Repeatability (~300 μm)	Unsuitable printing speed for mass production Unsuitable cost of inks for mass production Need for masks Time consuming
