SoldermaskGreen, Purple, Red, Yellow, Blue, White, and Black.We use LPI (Liquid Photo Imageable) solder mask. This is the most common type of mask used today. Heat-cured ink soldermask is usually found on low-cost, single-sided PCBs.
Surface FinishHASL (leaded / lead-free), ENIG, OSP (copper core boards only)FR4 has all three finishes available, 6+ layers and RF boards only have ENIG. Aluminium core boards only have HASL. Copper core boards only have OSP.
