Other processes investigated for planar SOFC fabrication include electrostatic-assisted vapour deposition, vapour phase electrolytic deposition, vacuum evaporation, laser spraying, transfer printing, sedimentation method, and plasma metal organic chemical vapour deposition. 

Transfer (printing) The metallization of a web of paper or plastic, cutting a pattern, and putting the pattern on a label, sign, etc. 

Decal transfer printing is the use of a stamp to transfer preformed structures directly to a substrate. The ink can be metallic,semiconducting,or organic, and can produce 2D or 3D patterns. In contrast to pCP of small molecules... 

Fig. 13. Single-sheet diffusion transfer plate (a) stmcture (b) upon exposure to light (c) development and (d) washing off and finish. In (a) the plate is first coated with a receiver layer of small (<5 nm) catalytic sites. The photographic layer is a spectrally sensitized silver haUde emulsion. In (c) the exposed areas develop as silver metal. Unexposed areas diffuse down to the receiver layer and form the printing image. In (d) the emulsion is washed off, revealing...

Letterpress is printed directly by the rehef method from cast metal or plates on which the image or printing areas are raised above the nonprinting areas. Ink rollers apply ink to the surface of the raised areas, which transfer it directly to paper. Flat-bed cylinder presses are available but most letterpress is printed on rotary presses.
