content: Just got a PCB design back from Gold Phoenix with their matt black solder mask (which I had never tried before), and even if I do say so myself, it looks pretty awesome with the white silkscreen.

content: Love it!Would it be possible to get macro on silkscreen to see how good is the edge resolution (is it photosensitive epoxy, or just digital matrix print)?
