In the Home Stretch........DI Solder Mask Almost Ready for Market
I just returned from Japan and Europe where I had an opportunity to attend the JPCA Expo in Tokyo and the EIPC Summer Conference in Edinburgh. At both events I had the opportunity to talk to several customers and industry leaders and they all wanted to talk about digital imaging, both DI exposing and inkjet printing. I was able to let them know that Taiyo is working with companies in both types of technologies and we are making great progress along both lines.
In the last issue I discussed that we had just begun evaluating Taiyo America products on current DI exposing equipment and we are just about ready to make modifications to optimize the photospeed on some of our major product lines. I have great news to report, our R&D lab has been hard at work and has accomplished a lot over the past several weeks; they have evaluated our current products and have made modifications to some of our most popular products to significantly reduce the throughput time in the DI exposure machine. I'm convinced you will be thrilled with the results.
Here are some photographs just to show you some of our progress:

The Cutting Edge of...
Organic Substrates
The world of organic flexible substrates is dominated by petroleum based polymers. For a number of years, developers have been trying to come up with non-petroleum based polymers that can match the flexibility, durability, and inexpensive cost of products such as PET and PEN. Within the past few years, there have been a couple of companies that have come up with methods to convert carbohydrates, like fructose for example, into the precursor chemicals for a new type of polymer called PEF.

Scotland: St. Andrews Links; the Home of Golf!
The EIPC summer conference was held June 9 - 10 in Edinburgh, Scotland. Those who know me would bet money (and win) that I would find my way to St. Andrews to see the Old Course.

Talking with Sunrise PCB
Sunrise PCB in Elk Grove, Illinois in one of the most interesting companies I work with. For a small company they build some of the industry's most sophisticated PCBs and the most amazing thing is that they build them in three days or less. I recently sat down with Ashok Patel the co-owner (and his son Jigar) and talked about his company and why they use Taiyo solder mask products.
