Abstract: Method of coating a board and a board coating system for performing the method. The inventive method is intended for coating a board with liquid coating material, particularly for coating a basis plate intended for circuit boards with liquid photoresist. Here, the plate which is to be coated is transported by a transport apparatus past a coating roller while in contact with the latter. The coating roller is rotated in a vertical orientation and, during coating, the board is held by the transport apparatus on its upper edge in a vertically hanging position and is led past the vertically oriented coating roller by the transport apparatus.
