PCB Printing
Reliability and predictability of print reproduction are the two key requirements for PCB printing and therefore high specification screen making products are recommended as the product of choice for most applications.
For fine detail primary imaging or legend printing Capillex 18 is the perfect choice as it gives consistency and reliability. For solder mask Capillex 50 or PLUS 8000 emulsion are ideal and for ultra thick stencil for peelable masks then multi-laminated Capillex 80 can save both time and money. To ensure that you get the best out of your MacDermid Autotype stencil then always use the recommended screen cleaning and preparation chemicals.
