Specialty Printing — Paper and Ink Going Digitial

Tagging Applications

RFID requires application of a tag (re: chip) and antenna, with (active) or without (passive) a self-contained power supply—potentially a printable battery. First-generation implementations use more traditionally produced tags (silicone based). An external reader is required to capture the signal from an RFID tag, and provide the energy for transmission in the case of a passive tag.
