Printing of adhesive substrates, where fibers, foils or other materials could adhere. This a kind of digitalizing of analog processes. Or circuit boards are sometimes digitally printed. There are two possible ways. First is to print the circuits themselves. The other is to print the circuits on a copper platened board with a protective ink. Afterwards you bring the board into an etching bath, were the unprotected copper is etched off. Another application is the use of UV-luminescent inks for safety or decoration purposes.
