CREDITON, DEVON, ENGLAND -- Printed circuit board fabricator Graphic Plc has upgraded its soldermask application and imaging department here and installed a dedicated Class 1000 cleanroom.

Graphic, which also has facilities in China, said the upgrade will improve PCB quality. A Class 100 cleanroom means there is a maximum of 1,000 0.5 µm or larger particles/ft³.

Managing director David Pike said, “The new cleanroom will enable us to further improve our already high standard of product with improved registration, finer geometries and enhanced cosmetics.”
