The method for producing printed circuits comprises the electrochemical deposition of the current-carrying coating (2) on the dielectric substrate of the blank, with relative movement of the blank and the rotating cylindrical electrode (3) having sections which do not carry current and are designed as depressions (4) in the cylindrical surface whose shape corresponds to the shape of the conductor tracks (5) of the printed circuit to be produced. During the relative movement of the blank and of the rotating cylindrical electrode (3), the part of the cylindrical surface of the electrode (3) facing the blank is arranged at a height, with respect to the surface of the dielectric substrate (1) of the blank facing the electrode (3), which makes contact within the thickness of the current-carrying coating (2) of the blank. <IMAGE>
