Hello
I'm trying to find a pcb manufactuer that will make pcb with black matte ideally or gloss if matte isnt available, without scratches or any other visual imperfections on them.
I use JLC PCB since a while now but for some project i just can't have their rivet/nail signs or small scratches or imperfections.
They are about 128mm x 10 to 160mm depending of the design.
As i can see when it's small boards under 10-20mm wide, jlc is fine but bigger than that they almost all have scratches or other stuff and it seem worse because there is no circuit or almost no circuit in theses designs. Even with the new jlc "superb quality" it's almost the same, they even forgot about it and superb quality was not in my order in their system even if i paid for it but they explained to me its the same process, they just take a bit more care in selecting them but it's really almost the same quality i don't see why someone would pay for this option, even more useless is the paper between pcb, i tried it once and it changed nothing about the look of the pcbs
Anyway so i also checked pcbcart, they are more expensive but maybe a bit better, i'm not sure but they explained to me by email they can't guarantee 100% visually good pcb's.
I also tried local pcb manufactuers but it's 10-15 times the price...
I'm kinda stuck between ordering from theses in china and throwing away in the trash the ones that have visual imperfections, which is not good... i would throw away about 65-75% of them and the option of local manufactuers but it's so much expensive just can't.
So my question... Is there one manufactuer that makes them without visual imperfections while staying at a good pricing? I'm not looking for absolute cheapest, i can pay more, but not crazy high prices...
Thanks!
