How to draw a color silkscreen and place an order?
The first step:Open Settings.You need to enable the ‘Using JLC color silkscreen technology’ option in the PCB setup first.
Step 2: Import colorful images.EASYEDA supports importing colored images and previewing them with the option to place the original image. Choose a vector image such as PNG or SVG.If you find that the imported image does not have the option to place the original image, please replace the image with another format.
Clicking on Confirm will automatically place the image on the top silkscreen layer, or you can switch to the document layer or the bottom silkscreen layer as required.
Function 2: Setting the component silkscreen color. Once the component is selected, you can set the silkscreen color in the properties panel on the right.Properties such as internal line text, prefix, etc. of components are produced using this color at the time of manufacture.
Function 3: Setting board silkscreen colour After clicking on the blank space of the canvas, the Properties panel on the right side, you can see the color silkscreen settings.
Function 4: Preview color screen printing In the top menu - View - 2D/3D Preview, you can preview the color silkscreen and image. In the Properties panel on the right of the preview screen, modify the silkscreen process to color silkscreen, and you can see the effect of color printing.
How to place an order?
After finishing the setting and editing of the color silkscreen, export the color silkscreen production file.Tick the option of exporting color silkscreen, and then export Gerber.
Please note: If you need JLC's welding service for your color silkscreen boards, please make sure that you set the process edge in the ‘Panelize’ function or add the process edge manually, otherwise the color silkscreen will not be printed if you choose the welding service.
After entering the pcb ordering interface, you need to set the corresponding options in the JLC ordering system before you can select the color silkscreen order.
When entering the ordering system, choose FR-4 for the board, which only supports double-sided board and 1.6mm board thickness for the time being.
Choose white for soldermask color and immersion gold for pad spraying.
And then the character process and then select EasyEDA color screen printing can be.
