Post by thread:[EE:] pcb house like pad2pad : now which boardhous

> http://www.expresspcb.com > The miniboard offer looks very interresting 2 sided without > solder mask for > $51 + $8 shipping http://www.olimex.com looks better to me: 2 sided, solder mask and silk, $26 + shipping for 16x10 cm (that's almost the same area as the 3-miniboards offer), and you can popolate that area with any combination of PCBs you provide. And olimex 'eats' Eagle .brd directly, or the standard gerber/excellon files. No lock-in into proprietary software that ties you to a single boardhouse. But be aware of their silk and drill restrictions, and they are on holliday in august. For larger series http://www.eurocircuits.com looks good, but while I was preparing a complicated 10-PCB panel they changed the rules, now they allow only 4 different PCBs on a panel, which in my case more than doubles the price. I submitted a smaller panel. Which boardhouse would you recommend for panels (let's say 10 different PCBs on the panel, I deliver gerber/execellon for the full panel, the boardhouse must de-panelise), something like 20 x 30 cm panel, x 100?
