the implication being the soldermask is too thick, raising the top of the board higher than the pads themselves (eliminating gasketing)? Essentially, the board isn't perfectly planar would be the subject of cause it sounds like?

If you were successful in running the machine in dry cycle mode, then I would expect with new squeegees that the prints would be acceptable. To give you more tangible data on what you may expect from the actual print results, maybe you could run the

It depends on your product requirements. We don't like to print off-pad, because: * Tough to control the amount of paste that squirts onto the board, because the aperture is not gasketed to the pad on the board. * Some paste that squirts between the

Well everything Graham said with some additional points.. You mention manual printing but very little about your stencil or setup. Everything you have said indicates a very limited budget has been expended, however what you have is an extreme exampl

RW, I have Screened Adhesive on to several different assemblies and have found that when it is possible I get a much better result than with a dot deposition process (The green strength was greatly improved), the biggest issue I ran in to was the pr

If I get you right and you are looking for a micro stencil for bga rework, then you should try http://www.circuittechctr.com. They are offering a free sample of their Flextac micro stencils in a wide range of sizes. The thing with these ones is that

Well gasketing yes, have you dine enough analysis to blame aperture design- Maybe not? Maybe whip out the gerber files for this PCB&stencil and compare the details with one you feel works well. Is there something different about their layout rules o
