Job Description:

• 1) Prints circuit image on photoresist film-laminated panels for use in fabricating printed circuit boards, using contact printer: Aligns one or more circuit negative films with film-laminated circuit board panel in drawer of contact printer vacuum frame.

• 2) Activates printer controls to create vacuum and secure negative film against circuit board panel.

• 3) Activates printer to expose negative and panel film to ultraviolet light and transfer circuit image onto panel film.

• 4) Lifts drawer cover and removes PCB panel and negative.

• 5) May measure light intensity of contact printer, using exposure meter, tapes, or radiometer, and adjust exposure time according to specifications.

• 6) May secure negative and panel in vacuum frame, using jig or tape.

• 7) May examine printed panels for defects in printed circuit.

• 8) May feed circuit board panels into machine that develops exposed circuit pattern on panels.

• 9) May tend equipment that laminates photoresist film to circuit board panels.

• 10) May print circuit pattern on dry photoresist film for use in manufacturing double-sided and flexible PCB's and be designated Contact Printer, Dry Film.
