Analysis of Common Issues with UV PCB Ink (Part 8)

In the field of electronic manufacturing, UV PCB ink serves as a critical printing material, and its printing quality and performance directly affect the quality and reliability of printed circuit boards. However, in practical applications, UV PCB ink often encounters a series of issues, such as plate smearing, imprecise or incomplete printed patterns, bubbles and pinholes on the surface of printed patterns, and overcuring. These problems not only compromise the aesthetic appeal and durability of the printed products but may also pose potential threats to the performance and reliability of the circuit boards.

In the manufacturing process of PCBs (printed circuit boards), ink viscosity is a critically important parameter. It directly affects both the printing quality and the final performance of the circuit. Ink with excessively high viscosity may be difficult to flow during printing, leading to issues such as poor transfer and uneven coverage; additionally, the edges of the printed patterns may appear jagged, compromising the precision and reliability of the circuit. On the other hand, ink with too low viscosity may flow excessively, reducing printing accuracy and potentially causing the ink to spread into unintended areas, thereby further impacting the circuit layout and overall performance.

In sophisticated printing processes—particularly during PCB manufacturing—ink stringing is a common issue that requires close attention. When ink starts to string from the screen or squeegee, the clarity of the printed pattern, the neatness of its edges, and its overall aesthetic appeal can all be severely compromised. This, in turn, may adversely affect the electrical performance of the PCB and reduce the product’s yield rate.

Analysis of Common Issues with UV PCB Ink (Part 5)

Insufficient adhesion between the ink and the substrate refers to the situation where, during the printing process, the ink fails to adhere adequately and firmly to the substrate surface. As a result, during subsequent processing steps (such as lamination, drilling, electroplating, etc.) or during long-term use, the ink layer is prone to peeling, cracking, or wear. This not only directly affects the aesthetic appeal of the printed product but, more critically, in the case of PCBs (printed circuit boards), the detachment of the ink layer can expose underlying circuits, increasing the risk of short circuits and open circuits, and severely compromising the electrical performance and reliability of the product.

In the PCB manufacturing process, inadequate ink curing is a problem that cannot be overlooked. This typically manifests as insufficient surface hardness, poor adhesion, low abrasion resistance, and poor resistance to chemical solvents after curing. These issues not only affect the visual quality of the PCB—causing scratches, discoloration, or flaking—but more importantly, they directly impact the PCB’s electrical performance, including insulation resistance, voltage withstand characteristics, and the stability of signal transmission.

Analysis of Common Issues with UV PCB Ink (Part 3)

During the PCB manufacturing process, especially after the exposure or baking steps, ink often overflows from the vias, resulting in via blockage or via bursting. This not only severely affects the visual quality of the PCB but can also degrade the electrical connection performance and stability of the circuit, thereby compromising the overall reliability and service life of the product. Via blockage and via bursting can lead to short circuits, open circuits, or unstable signal transmission, profoundly impacting the performance and reliability of the entire electronic device.
