>> I have been meaning to send in a question about how we should represent printed electronics. To some degree, the technology creates the same semantic issues as fabric but it also brings color of ink when current is applied into the semantics as well.
I think new technologies such as these need more discussion and background than simply adding some names to MSN2. Certainly we could register new marker supply types for electroluminescent ink, metallic (conductive) ink, etc, but what about the substrate?
There are similar issues for 3D (layered) printing technologies - how might we define a model, format, etc. for that?

How about the following additional type names:

> fabric-self-adhesive Printable fabric with a self-adhesive backing (no heat required)

> I suggest that the use of “fabric” as a top-level media type is reasonable but as a qualifier for stationary is not, because the word refers to the product of a weaving or felting process, not the type of fiber used. If a general qualifier is needed, the common term is rag (at least it used to be); e.g., rag-content paper But I recall the specific request was for “cotton” and cotton is the fiber normally used in rag paper.

>> Glen,
>> "stationery" is just plain sheets of paper. There are qualified versions of stationery as well, e.g., "stationery-letterhead", so this would just be another form of that - think special paper used for cover letters or resumes that otherwise behaves and is used like plain paper.
>> Technically we could use "fabric" as a top-level media type with qualified versions for different fabrics and finishes, e.g.:
>> fabric
> fabric-cotton
> fabric-glossy
> fabric-high-gloss
> fabric-inkjet
> fabric-linen
> fabric-matte
> fabric-semi-gloss
> fabric-tweed
> fabric-waterproof
>> however I would consider those types to be specific to fabric printing, e.g. curtains, clothing, etc., and not to sheets of specialized paper.

>> Maybe I wrong but I thought stationery was just another word for "plain"; so this new name means "plain-cotton". Is there anything wrong with just cotton and linen?
