System and method for formation of electrical conductors on a substrate

A method for printing an electrical conductor on a substrate has been developed. In the method, a reverse image of the electrical conductor pattern is printed on a substrate with an electrically non-conductive material to form a second pattern that exposes a portion of the surface area of the substrate. The entire surface area of the substrate is then covered with an electrically conductive material. The non-conductive material of the reverse image electrically isolates the electrically conductive material covering the reverse image from the electrically conductive material covering the second pattern.
