You printer is not solely designed for printing solder paste. This is why some of the options you would never use for paste appear in the menu. You may actually be printing overlays or yes, even t-shirts. This is why you may want to flood/print, prin

You have what looks to be blisters/delamination. Use IPC-A-600F as a guideline for acceptance. Usually, we start from the opinion that blisters/delamination as a fabrication issue, even if it appears during solder processing. Often blisters/delam

You can buy an awful lot of PCB's with that budget. Having done multilayer at home for RF I would not recommend it. It took us 7 years to get a workable but I would not say reliable process running. 4 layer boards, plated through, green and silk scr

Panasonic has a great training facility in Kentucky that could be of enormous benefit to you and your team. Materials and Lasers range in capability. Generally speaking you need good contrast; which is not always guaranteed with bare PCBs. As othe

A Screen printer is similar to a stencil printer,except the screen isn't made from a piece of brass, copper, plastic or stainless steel, with laser cut holes. The screen has a stainless steel , silk or polyester mesh, which is then dipped in a photos

We've been using pre-printed labels on our PCB's for years, with 8 - 10 hours a week down time associated with them. Last October we put a CO2 laser marker on one of our lines. In 6 months we've had a total of 30 minutes down time. We use a 2D b

| One of our board fab houses is asking (again) to eliminate the reference designators and polarity markings from boards. This isn't feasible for thru-hole, but what is the industry trend on surface mount assemblies? | Deon Response: Hi Greg, Fr

I'll try to deal with the issues as you've presented them. 1. Blistering/delamination, shown in photo 2. The most likely cause of blistering/delamination like this is moisture in the boards. The moisture can get into the boards in multiple ways..

First, consider checking the fine SMTnet Archives. Look for threads on "white tin", in addition to "immersion tin". We�ve had a cuppla good ones of late. Merix [http://www.merix.com] gives a good comparison of different solderability preservatives
