Agfa Materials: for the PCB Industry BUT Cheaper • Less production steps • No phototool needed Short cycle time • From CAD / CAM directly to printer • No screen needed Can print variable data • Design changes & variable data per panel, per board • Better positioning and panel distortion compensation Ecology • No screen cleaning Eric Janssens Dec 2014 Slide:7 ab Agfa Materials: for the PCB Industry DiPaMat LI WH04: legibility De gustibus et coloribus non est disputandum Eric Janssens Dec 2014 Slide:8 ab DiPaMat LI WH04: adhesion Agfa Materials: for the PCB Industry Print on solder mask: • Adhesion is excellent to good depending on: - Brand and type of solder mask - Semi - or fully cured - UV bump (after printing) - Thermal baking process Print on copper: • Limited. Do the test to find out whether it fits your needs. Print on substrate (FR4, polyimide, …..) • Limited. Do the test to find out whether it fits your needs. Eric Janssens Dec 2014 Slide:9 ab DiPaMat LI WH04: scratch resistance Agfa Materials: for the PCB Industry Print on solder mask: • Scratch resistance depending on: - Brand and type of solder mask - Semi - or fully cured - UV bump (after printing) - Thermal baking process Print on copper: • Limited. Do the test to find out whether it fits your needs. Print on substrate (FR4, polyimide, …..) • Limited. Do the test to find out whether it fits your needs. Scratch resistance OK Eric Janssens Dec 2014 Slide:10 Scratch resistance NOK ab DiPaMat LI WH04: sedimentation & recovery Agfa Materials: for the PCB Industry Sedimentation results in clogging the printing head Confirmed by printer manufactures: - Wh04 shows no sedimentation, even after several days -Wh04 needs very little purging before a start up after the weekend Eric Janssens Dec 2014 Slide:11 ab DiPaMat LI Cleaning solution Agfa Materials: for the PCB Industry Legend ink cleaning solution is used: • To clean a system at start up • To clean a system when switching ink type • To clean a system prior to a long stand still Remark: Legend ink cleaning solution • • • all printer heads can be cleaned using this one product all Agfa legend inks can be cleaned using this one product only Agfa legend inks can be cleaned using this product When converting from a different ink type to Agfa: • Flush the printer with the designated cleaning solution of the used ink • Clean with Agfa legend ink cleaning solution • And vice versa. Eric Janssens Dec 2014 Slide:12 ab Conclusion Wh04 is proven The printer manufactures are in favor of it Agfa Materials: for the PCB Industry The field test customers are pleased and the market is looking for variable data printing Eric Janssens Dec 2014 Slide:13 ab
