Photo Etch Panels

All panels are taken into the Photo-mech for the image of the tracks to be created onto them.Before this can take place the panels are lightly surface cleaned and then laminated with ultra violet light sensitive dry-film.The films that were produced by the Front End department are then aligned onto the panels and the panels are then placed into an Exposure unit. The Exposure unit uses ultra light UV lights to expose the image on the artwork onto the dry film.The panels are then developed to wash the areas of dry film from the panels that we do not require, leaving just the image of the artwork on the panels.
