A well known equipment manufacturer made a machine capable of spraying UV-curable epoxy-based ink suitable for printing legend (the white letters and human-readable markings) onto a bare printed circuit card. After making the hardware, they needed software that would help their users set up the printing operation. They turned to GCA to provide software that helped users view the circuit board data, and control the placement, orientation and content of variable fields and printable images. The software precisely controlled alignment and image distortion to assure that each image was printed to exactly match the actual manufactured part to very close tolerances. GCA also provided the raster engine that is imbedded in the legend printer hardware.
