This paper presents the development of design software for inkjet-printed resistor structure layout, which con- tributes to rapid prototyping of good quality printed electronics circuits. The synthesis software was implemented using the Java SE Development Kit 8 and provides a GUI front end and automated design of resistive structures for ease of use. Several layout configurations synthesized for inkjet-printed nanosilver resistors were validated over a range of 1 Ω to 200 Ω. In doing so, Harima NPS-JL silver nanoparticle ink was characterized for sheet resistance and TCR. The software was able to synthesize resistive structures with a worst-case error of 19%, and thus, has the potential to produce practical structures for use in real world applications, such as a printed heating element for a thermal petri dish incubator.
