I cannot report having experience with 0201 printing applications on flex circuits. Generally, I would be concerned with handling of the flex substrate. A carefully designed vacuum capable custom tooling fixture would likely be required to ensure planarity for accurate / repeatable print registration and aperture to pad gasket. Advanced printing machines will have program options specifically designed for flex substrate printing.
