We run Dek ELAs and MPM UP1500, Everyone here prefers the Deks. Set up, software, maintenance, operation etc. There's not a lot in it - the guys just prefer the Deks. However we are an OEM and so get control on board design, finish, fiducials etc. So

Hello Everyone, I am new in this field and looking for an advice for choosing a screen printer between a DEK 265GSX and a MPM UP3030. Would you kindly give me your pros and cons between the 2 machines in terms of technical superior, ease of use, reta

I'm repairing SMT for 20 years and I've worked with both machines. From my experience, I always had a bunch of problems with DEK printer and the service is terrible if your not a big one. MPM is more reliable, parts cheaper & service much better. Pro

I believe the early UP3000's had some significant mechanical issues. We have 3 UP3000 Ultraflex machines. We bought them used. These are great machines and easy to program but you need to have operators that really understand the machine. I dont thin

I think he meant stencils where the print pattern is front, left, or right justified on the stencil itself as opposed to being centerred. Is that what you meant. It can be done on DEK printers, but it has been several years that I worked with an MP
