readable mark is not automatically an acceptable one. The usable result depends on the actual mask formulation and color, cure, thickness, surface condition, and the copper or laminate beneath it. The first decision is whether you need visible contrast while keeping the mask functionally intact, or deliberate mask removal to a defined stopping layer.<\/p><div class=\"zr-ownership-lock\"><strong>Solder mask and legend ink are separate layers: <\/strong>legend \/ silkscreen ink is normally printed over the cured solder mask and should be recorded separately during testing. A mark that crosses legend and bare solder mask may need separate parameter validation.
