UK company to do printing of condunctive inks..?

[Mike Harrison]

Anyone know of a UK company that does printing of silver conductive inks, and assembly of components
with conductive adhesives on plastic substrates ?

beware, silver particle loaded compounds tend to oxidise and fail. If
you can stick foil on and etch like a convetional PCB you will get
much more usable results. Or if your circuit is particularly simple,
just stick on self adhesive copper strip.

Seems to work for membrane keyboards... a lacquer overcoat is not a problem.
