Direct inkjet printing with different inks

Direct inkjet printing with different inks

2007-11-19 by yah_blesbok

Has anyone tried solvent based inks or UV curing inks for direct
printing on PCBs. I'm getting reasonably good results with the
standard aqueous pigment inks, but the ink still seems to pool and not
coat uniformly.  It seems a faster drying ink might help.

Cheers,
Brent

UV-cured ink is used in commercial machines. Special heads are required.
