A variety of conductive fabric, copper and aluminum tapes are available. Some have conductive adhesive and some not. Some make good electrical connections by simply overlapping ends, and some do not. Copper tape is great for soldering to.

Hi Hannah and Mika, I’m aTamarind printer working on an installation with conductive materials, tentatively fabric and I’ll be testing the CTI inks (thermochromic ink)on fabric as well as paper. I was wondering if you guys have tried this brand of ink in any of your projects?
Hi,
I think you guys might find http://www.maskingproducts.net or http://www.kaptontape.com as another good source for conductive tapes. May be worth checking out.
