We propose Silver Stickers, simple yet novel fabrication technique to transfer inkjet printed silver traces from paper onto versatile sticky substrates, without time-space- consuming processes like screen printing and heat sintering. This allows users to exploit unique properties of selective sticky substrates: high flexibility (e.g., Scotch tape), transparency (e.g., PDMS elastomer), heat durability (e.g., Kapton polyimide tape), water solubility (e.g., wave solder tape), and so on.
