Cheaper RFID Printed on Paper

We previously mentioned a study where it was shown that traditional RFID tags could be used safely as patient wristbands in a medical setting, but now a technology from Korea could help make it cheap enough to be widespread. Investigators from Sunchon National University in Suncheon, South Korea, and Rice University in Houston have printed flexible RFID tags directly onto paper in a process that they think could be made to cost less that 1 cent per tag.
This could be implemented in both patient wristbands and as a cheaper alternative to the many RFID tags already floating around many hospitals as a part of inventory control.
