This invention provides a process for producing a printed circuit board characterized by the steps of drilling holes in a copper clad laminate, treating the entire surface of the laminate including the hole-defining inner surfaces with a catalyst, removing the catalyst from the surface of the copper foil of the laminate by mechanically cleaning the surface of the copper foil, depositing electroless nickel only on the hole-defining inner surfaces, forming a pattern with an etching resist, etching away the copper foil except at the pattern area, removing the etching resist, masking with a solder resist the entire surface except at the hole-defining inner surfaces and the lands, and subjecting the hole-defining inner surfaces and the lands to electroless copper plating.
