Law/Patents - Law: Patents, Trademarks, Copyright / Patent for an improved conveyer
French term or phrase: photoréserve
Dear Friends,

I am translating a French patent that was written some 35 years ago. It deals with an attempt to resolve the problem of painting lettering on circuit boards with spray paint nozzles located underneath the conveyer belt.

I have not been able to find a good English equivalent for "photoréserve". If anyone can help, I would be very appreciative.

Here is the context:

Des roues de transport encochées sur les arbres d'entraînement sont supérieures à ce point de vue, mais elles ont présenté une tendance à endommager la couche délicate de photoréserve sur l'objet traité, avec pour résultat final que l'on produisait des trous dans le dessin de cuivre ou des interruptions dans les lignes conductrices.

Many thanks in advance,

Laura
