Specialty Printing — Paper and Ink Going Digitial

ABI Research, of New York City, offered an assessment of this development in a study released earlier this year, titled “Printed Electronics in the RFID Tag Industry.” In summarizing its findings, the research firm noted that, “Printed electronics have the potential to transform the RFID industry…but their impact will not be significant for some years to come.”
