Inkjet Printer for PCB Solder Mask applications

Altix is recognized as a world leader for versatile PCB manufacturing equipment. Altix is introducing a disruptive additive manufacturing machine, thanks to a proven experience providing the market with advanced UV exposure systems for different segments, such as:

• Printed Circuit Board (PCB) / Flexible Printed Circuit Board (FPC)

• Metal Etching (ME) / Photo Chemical Milling (PCM)

• IC substrates (IC) / advanced packaging (semiconductor)

The Altijet platform combines solder mask, legend printing, and inline panel inspection in a single 3-in-1 process, using high-resolution digital additive printing for precise, efficient, and repeatable results.

The Altijet is the first truly industrial and reliable inkjet solder mask system, integrating legend printing and an automatic internal scanner for real-time quality control.
Its flexible design allows it to adapt to your production needs — available either with a one-pass print bar for maximum productivity, or a scanning print engine for cost-efficient, lower-volume applications.

The result: unmatched quality, flexibility, and performance for the future of PCB manufacturing.

Inkjet technology enhances the environmental and operational performance of PCB manufacturing. By applying solder mask only where needed, it reduces material use and waste. UV-curable inks replace solvent-based formulations, eliminating VOC emissions and removing the need for photomasks, screens, and chemical processing. Fewer production steps lower energy consumption and hazardous waste generation.

Digital precision improves yield, reduces defects, and minimizes rework. Automated control ensures consistent, stable output without manual intervention, while eliminating chemical developing further cuts water usage. High-definition printing guarantees sharp, repeatable results, reducing carbon footprint, logistics, and overall environmental impact.
