Thanks everyone for all the input. All of our stencils do have the PCB # etched on the foil but when operators look for the stencils they are looking for the part # on the frame since they are all stored vertically in a couple of Remstar shuttles and

Fabricators take different approaches in developing paste that is more or less prone to solder balling. That being said, you should be able to overprint 250 thou, no problem. Prove this to be correct by printing paste on a scrap board with an obsol

Normally paste manufacturer specifies stencil life of a paste is 10 hours. the question is, if i run a continuous manufacturing for 40 hours, we will be adding 250 g of paste for every two hours. The addition of 250 g will be mixed with the paste whi

I agree with you. I just said, if it is customer requirement, factory has to implement it, right? :) Of course it is huge amount of money. SPI is the main control, but it doesnt save you the pressure, speed, snap of from the printer to the trace (us

Why scrap paste if there is no degradation of performance? Do your own study to determine this.

This (along w/ everything else we do) is not high volume. Actually, we're dropping a batch of 7 the first of the week, and that's fairly sizeable for us. I talked with my stencil design folks and sent them a scrap board and all my gerber info. I t

| During inspection and test we find leads which do not get soldered. Some are because of insufficient paste, but with others everything looks right. This will only happen on 1 to 2 pins, and it is not isolated to a specific type of ic or location o

Fresh paste from a factory sealed container. Should paste be scrapped out altogether if left on the stencil for too long (length-of-time?)? Our paste is Multicore CR39. Multicore reccomended the print chamber be around 22C @ 50%-60% RH. Our plant is

I use Center Edge, and adjust stencil offset. It's very easy, you just have to give it the PCBs width. An other advantage is that If your PCB has scrap strips, and you lose them, or PCB changes, you can print it anyway.

I would scrap it. As you said part of it is going to be old paste. All manufacturers don't recommend mixing old with new paste because you change the rheology of the paste.
