MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

MIGDAL HAEMEK, Israel – May 18, 2009 – Camtek Ltd. (NASDAQ and TASE: CAMT), today announced the acquisition of assets of Printar Ltd., an Israeli company. Printar Ltd. is engaged in manufacturing, sale and marketing of direct digital material deposition systems and inks for the Printed Circuit Board (“ PCB ”) industry, with two major fields of activity: Solder Mask, an epoxy layer selectively covering the PCB, while leaving the connecting pads uncovered (“ SM ”) and Legend, applying the identification nomenclature on the PCB, commonly used in the PCB industry (“ Legend ”). Printar introduced its first Legend system six years ago and maintains an install base of more than 45 Legend systems. Printar’s technology provides a higher performances, one-step, environment-friendly and relatively low-cost process, in comparison with traditional printing methods. The technology can also be applicable in the future to various other applications in the field of electronic manufacturing.
