Printer Plates

Precision PCB Support for Consistent, Repeatable Screen Printing

Accurate solder paste deposition begins with proper PCB support. Pentagon EMS Printer Plates are custom engineered to provide rigid, stable support throughout the screen printing process, eliminating board flex and ensuring consistent stencil contact across the entire assembly. Designed specifically for your PCB and printing equipment, our Printer Plates improve print accuracy, reduce variation, and help increase first-pass yields.

Manufactured from high-performance ESD-safe composite materials or precision-machined aluminum, they deliver long service life and dependable performance in demanding SMT production environments. Vacuum-compatible designs are also available for applications requiring enhanced board stability and process control.
