JLCPCB sent me a sample of their upcoming full-color silkscreen service and the quality is really impressive!

@arturo182 half tone pattern almost looks like an inkjet or something - I wonder what the raw colors are that you can use

@jonbro @arturo182 Definirely. Not silkscreen, which makes sense.

Colors look to be standard CMYK with subtle registration problems that might be OK in person, or might make it look cheap.

Nice. Have they talked about file formats at all? Not sure how we will handle this with tools like kicad.

@tomkeddie @arturo182 I'm intrigued to know too!... did I see someone taking about a special KiCAD(?) extension and encrypted(?!) blob that is sent alongside the gerbers, or did I hallucinate that? 🤔

@arturo182 I've seen a bunch of samples with this process, and it is very impressive.

If you're interested in more details, there's a link to the WeChat discussion group at the bottom of the EasyEDA page describing how to use color silkscreen: prodocs.easyeda.com/cn/pcb/oth
