Unlock Color PCB Printing with PCBWay!

Nowadays, traditional PCB printing technology can no longer meet the aesthetic requirements of modern circuit board production. To better fulfill customers' design needs, we are pleased to announce that PCBWay has introduced UV printing equipment. This equipment utilizes UV-curable inks to achieve high-quality image printing on various materials, including fiberglass boards, metal substrates, ceramic substrates, flexible boards, and rigid-flex boards.

Features​

• Adopting UV-LED lamp curing, which enables instant drying, can significantly enhances production efficiency.
• UV printing technology employs UV-curable inks, ensuring firm and clear printing information resistant to fading, thus enhancing product identification and aesthetics.
• The normal print survives SMT reflow.

• UV printing technology can present images in various colors and styles, meeting customers' personalized requirements. Professional industrial-grade UV printers support high-precision printing, delivering exquisite results whether on flat panels or rolled materials.

• Unlike traditional printing methods, UV printing does not produce volatile organic compounds during the production process, ensuring air quality in the production workshop and providing employees with a safer and healthier working environment.

Prerequisites for Ordering​

1. Maximum size for a single piece: 270*470MM;
2. Selection of background soldermask color required.

Customer PCB (or Gerber Data) Design Specifications​

1. Drill holes, traces, soldermasks, and outline designs must comply with specifications.
2. When designing colored characters, avoid placing them over surface-mount pads and through-hole pads.
3. Colored characters can be provided through simulated effect diagrams and reference alignment map (for easy alignment with PCB), without the need to be designed in Gerber files. If designed in Gerber files, they should only be placed on the silkscreen layer and annotated with colors.
4. Overall effect files of colored boards support the following file formats: PDF, JPEG, PNG, TIFF, etc.This method requires a positioning diagram/reference diagram

When communicating with PCBWay, make sure to clearly indicate the purpose of the positioning image and the desired printing position. Ensure that the positioning image has sufficient quality and clarity for accurate reading and reference during the printing process.



By providing a clear positioning image and necessary instructions, you can assist PCBWay in accurately determining and achieving the desired printing position.

Welcome to give it a try if you're interested! Besides, PCBWay will continue to enhance its manufacturing capabilities to bring more choices and personalized services to customers in the future.
