Agfa Announces Price Increase for PCB Phototooling Products
January 21, 2022 | AgfaEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
Agfa announces a worldwide price increase on all IdeaLINE phototooling films and chemistry used for the production of Printed Circuit Boards (PCB) and metal structuring applications.
The price will be increased by double digit %, which differs by regions and products, and is needed because of the steep cost increase of production (energy and labor), raw materials and logistics. Agfa has continuously searched for improvement actions to offset these important cost increases, but as inflationary pressure remains, passing on part of them to our customers becomes unavoidable.
The new pricing will apply with immediate effect taking into account the purchase conditions of each individual customer.

Direct Metallization: A Sustainable Shift in PCB Fabrication
07/31/2025 | Jim Watkowski, Harry Yang, and Mark Edwards, MacDermid Alpha Electronics SolutionsThe global electronics industry is undergoing a significant transformation, driven by the need for more resilient supply chains and environmentally sustainable manufacturing practices. Printed circuit boards (PCBs), the backbone of interconnection for electronic devices, are at the center of this shift. Traditionally, PCB fabrication has relied heavily on electroless copper, a process that, while effective, is resource-intensive and environmentally hazardous. In response, many manufacturers are turning to direct metallization technologies as a cleaner, more efficient alternative.
