The technology introduced by the Chinese firm in its color PCB printing service represents a significant advancement over traditional PCB printing methods. It incorporates UV-curable inks that promise not only durability and fade resistance but also enhanced aesthetics, meeting the customized demands of designers.
PCBWay's new UV printing equipment uses UV-LED lamps for curing, enabling instant drying—an essential feature for keeping pace in manufacturing environments that demand speed and precision. Furthermore, the ability to print on a variety of materials, such as fiberglass boards, metal substrates, ceramics, flexible boards, and rigid-flex boards, considerably expands the applications of this technology.
Regarding the environmental impact of this new process, unlike traditional methods, the technology employed does not generate volatile organic compounds (VOCs) during production, ensuring superior air quality in production facilities and providing a safer and healthier working environment for employees.
For customers interested in this technology, PCBWay has established certain prerequisites for orders: the maximum size for a single piece is 270×470 mm, and the selection of the background solder mask color is required.
In addition, PCB designs must conform to the specifications, including the placement of colored characters and the preparation of general effects files in compatible formats such as AI, PDF, JPEG, PNG, and TIFF.
