Does anyone out there use a semi-automatic clamshell printer in production with pitches down to 20 mil? I would appreciate any advice you have on process control and setup parameters for this type of printer. James

FormFlex and the GridLok system will not work on a semi-automatic printer. They were designed for fully automatic machines. The print table is very shallow on the DEK 248, SMTechs and MPM SPM, UP100 and MicroFlex. DEK should have magnetic base suppor
