Claim Text:
1. A method for producing an electrically conductive pattern on a surface, comprising in the following order: transferring electrically conductive solid particles onto an area of predetermined form on a surface of a substrate, which comprises one of: paper, cardboard, polymer film, textile, non-woven material, heating the electrically conductive solid particles to a temperature that is higher than a characteristic melting point of the electrically conductive solid particles, thus creating a melt, and pressing the melt against the substrate in a nip, wherein a surface temperature of a portion of the nip that contacts the melt is regulated to keep the surface temperature lower than said characteristic melting point to solidify the conductive particles in the form of an essentially continuous electrically conductive layer covering the area of the particles on the surface of the substrate, the surface temperature of the portion of the nip which contacts the melt being no more than 60° C. below said characteristic melting point.
