I have an MPM SPM and two Ekra E4 screen printers. I have always run them dry with vacuum. I am also using no-clean paste and have not had a problem. The volume I run per day on the machines is 4 - 6,000 bds

Simple differences. Both processes require a very similar machine platform, controlled motion, vision fiducial recognition and alignment of a substrate (PCB or hybrid ceramic) to the "image", the image being either a stencil (hence stencil printing)

DEK is quite popular and getten replacement parts is easy in Asia. At this time we have EKRA which is really good for operators (I think, EKRA have the best GUI) and the mechanical design is much simplier as DEK designed. If I were you I will check s
