Rick, I think Autosplice and Berg did that but of course, it was a little before my time. But the comparison is the same as what HP does with injet printers and the ink cartridges which for some reason made me think of a screen printer someone made t

Manufacturers who have to mark barcodes onto PCB's without secondary application of pressure sensitive labels can etch it on, screen it on, inkjet it on, use laser marking, or a combination of those. Using a laser marker to write a code into a label

Why use labels? They are expensive, fall off, get mangled, etc. If you directly mark the boards, you'll probably save money, enhance traceability, etc. One major contract manufacturer projects payback at 7 months just eliminating label cost and goin

Having worked in a hybrid maanufacturing operation many years ago, yes stencils are great and have the required accuracy, but on the down side there were 2 operators that were absolute wizzes at turning them out and that could mean up to 20 stencil

I agree. The bar coded label you use should not be affected by the solder mask of the board. The label should have sharp contrast between the segments of the code to modulate the returned light and allow the reader to discriminate between light and
