Most of pcb have white/black printing at bottom side of them to indicate the chip location. Normally, this printing are the same location to the place that glue will be mount. My problem are the glue size between the point that have printing and not

i just thought that it because of difference thickness between the silkscreen and without silkscreen. if we apply the same pressure and dispense time to this two difference location, the glue size will be difference. location with silkscreen will rea

I know our glue looks different when applied over different color solk screen. Maybe it's just an optical illusion?

So I'm the only one that's had crappy piles of silkscreen between pads?

Tough call without seeing the board, but here's my best guess. You don't say if the glue dot is greater in height or diameter in the locations where you have printing (silkscreen), but I would guess that you might get either, or both, depending on ne

Crappy piles? Weren't they a hard rock band in the 80's? I know on most of our boards the little silk screen dot is just the component identifier in really small font when looked at in Gerber. But this dot isn't very big, so I see how it can affec

We had a supplier that put a [fuzzy and of variable height) line of ss between all chip R and C pads. Of course we were in low cost mode and had purchased a year's worth of boards.

But that's how Purchasing is supposed to work, right? Then boast how they saved 50 bucks that day on buying slightly plemmed boards. Then you spend thousands of dollars over the course of the year reworking thru the plems. All the while management

Not to mention the couple hunnert they save by NOT getting an air ride truck to ship a new inline printer. You'd be amazed at what an E5 can do to a pallet in 3000 miles. I can't believe the thing worked.

Chalk this one up to semantics. Regardless of when you start pumping (do you use a needle with a foot? In that case the pump will run when the foot touches the board), your volume of epoxy is the same. You just have less room for it where there is si
