I have the same issue but with one customer only. All the other have smaller or more difficult QFPs with really low bridging issues - close to no-one. I think the PCB and PCB design also an issue - other customers are using 32/64/100/144 QFPs and we

What is the QFP pitch ? What aperture dimensions have you chosen ? Is the stencil laser cut then polished ? Your AFTER stencil size looks promising...your BEFORE stencil aperture size looks disastrous...would surely give bridges.. Your pcb pad siz

0.66 area aspect ratio...so for example...if the device is 0.5mm pitch QFP, the pcb pad may be 12 thou wide..make the aperture 9 to 10 thou wide...and reduce it's length by 10 % overall compared to the pcb pad.... Depending on device pitch, select ap

The QFP pitch is 0.5mm. Pad size is 1.475 x 0.3mm, and the new aperture size is 1.32 x 0.22mm. I'm not sure about whether or not it is lasered, but on the newly ordered stencil I selected the polishing option. Looks like the pad width is already 2/3
