Hi experts, Is it normal that a stencil of 0,1mm would produce 45% solder paste volume being printed over the board? Or is a property linked to the solder paste? thanks in advance

Yup same here. Tier one automotive supplier in north America. Funny thing is the design and pre production phase for automotive products can be 3 years or more. you'd think component vendors would have enough time to adapt.
