No, I am not referring to screen printed conductive inks. What I am referring is a replacement for electroless copper. A means by which to sensitize the drilled hole wall in order to accept subsequent electroplate copper. Specifically, conductive polymer process (Uniplate/Autotech) . Not to be confused with carbon based "SHADOW" or "BLACK HOLE" technology.
