Reversing film.

2008-10-11 by David Hopkins

Gentlemen,
For over thirty years I have been making PCB boards using a
photographic method.

The pre coated board I have been using is -ve acting.

This requires a negative to be produced from the +ve computer
generated artwork. For many years I used an orange (UV opaque)
material made by 3M.

This was taken off the market and I switched to an AGFA
Printon Ortho daylight film. This was far superior than the orange
film however the section of AGFA that made this film went out of
business a couple of years ago.

Try as I might I can't find a replacement for this film.

What I need is a method that can make a high contrast UV opaque
negative from a positive printed on cleat plastic.

Anyone have any suggestons?

Thanks

David
