Functional Printing definition
Functional Printing means Printing that results in a material having (a) an active functionality or (b) a passive functionality consisting of attributes other than text and graphics having a sole purpose of unenhanced visual perception, provided that, the insubstantial and ancillary application of text and/or graphics to materials in conjunction with the primary functionality described at (a) and (b) shall not exclude any Printing from being Functional Printing, including Printing that results in a material having (i) active functionality with incidental text and graphics used for manufacturing control and identification, (ii) active functionality with integrated text and graphics whose purpose is to obscure the active nature of the Printed materials, or (iii) text or graphics requiring enhanced means for visual detection. Functional Printing includes printing of patterned, fine metal features for touch screen sensors or antennas, electrically-based or chemically-based Printed sensors for environmental conditions (e.g., time-temperature), healthcare applications (e.g., simple point-of-care diagnostics), energy conversion solutions, and security features (e.g., as in bank notes and currency) and including non-graphic aspects of “active packaging”, “intelligent packaging”, and “smart packaging” however produced, including by using Covered Products.
