You are right about the very poor support for smaller customers. I had told them we were looking for another paste and now they have sent the reginal manager and the US sales manager has come by to see what they can do for us. All they keep saying is

I would have gone to a .004" stencil but again, the board designers, which we have no control over or are we allowed to give input to, have made the pads on all connectors and many other parts so small that we are almost seeing insuffecient solder us
