yes there is Caveman, (well maybe depending on your circumstances)
you need to purchase a manual printer and print the connector then flip and print the other side. (you need a manual printer so you can print after the parts have nbeen reflowed, we cut stencil out ot allow for the cs and rs then use a manual squeegee operation to print only at the conn pad location) Put on connector and place board in machines process has worked on 20,000 plus assemblies.
Does add another operation however, we do it because our connector has 300 pins and handsolder was not effective in comparison, if we were running this board with lead solder and water soluble flux we would handsolder it (drag tyechnique), but pb free and no clean impedes this operation.
