Laser Check Film is a UV-sensitive film designed for calibrating and testing Laser Direct Imaging (LDI) systems. It provides an immediate visible image after exposure, allowing PCB manufacturers to verify registration, alignment, exposure, and image quality without chemical development.
Applications
- LDI registration and alignment verification
- LDI calibration and system setup
- Exposure and image quality checks
- First-article and process verification

- Film Thickness — 0.007 in. (7 mil)
- Image Color — Blue
- Image Formation — Immediate visible blue image after UV exposure
- Processing — No developer, fixer, washing, or chemical processing required
- Formats — Available in sheets and rolls
- Shelf Life — Two years when properly stored in a cool, dry area and protected from excessive heat

Why Use Laser Check Film?
Laser Check Film gives operators a fast way to verify LDI performance before running production panels. Because the image appears immediately and requires no chemical processing, it can reduce setup time, help catch registration or imaging issues early, and avoid wasting production material.
Laser Check Film FAQ
What wavelength is Laser Check Film sensitive to?
Laser Check Film is sensitive to UV wavelengths from approximately 360–395 nm and is commonly used with LDI systems operating near 405 nm.
Does Laser Check Film require chemical development?
No. The image appears immediately after exposure with no developer, fixer, washing, or other chemical processing.
Is Laser Check Film available in different sizes?
Yes. Laser Check Film is available in multiple sheet and roll sizes for different LDI systems and testing applications.
