by the following examples which are intended to be exemplary a binder solution was formed by dissolving ethyl cellulose in octerpineol at a cellulose terpineol weight ratio of between 1 10 and 1 12 the mixture was allowed to stand until the ethyl cellulose was substantially wet the mixture was then passed through a 3 roll mill to further mix and homogenize the solution silver and palladium particles 70 30 weight ratio and ferrite particles the metal particles having average diameters of about 1 u03bcm were mixed with ethanol in an amount approximately half the total weight of the metal particles and 0 5 wt oleic acid was then added the amount of each type of metal was determined based on the desired ferrite loading the mixture was then ultrasonicated for about 5 minutes after several hours of settling of the metal particle mixture about 60 wt solvent was extracted the metal powder however was not allowed to dry the amount of binder solution needed to provide about 1 8 wt ethyl cellulose based on the weight of the total ink metal ferrite binder and solvent was determined and that determined amount was added to the metal powder the mixture was manually mixed and placed onto a slow roller mill for homogenization the mixture was placed onto a 3 roll mill to evaporate the ethanol and obtain a desired viscosity if necessary additional u03b1 terpineol was added to adjust the viscosity as prepared the ink contained 74 u00b1 2 wt metal powders and 1 8 u00b1 0 1 wt ethyl cellulose based on the weight of the overall.
