I'm trying very hard to find any online production manuals. Can anyone point me in the right directions. We have plenty at my place of work, however, they are not allowed to be removed from the factory. The only opportunity that I would have to st

I'll pass on the "eternally grateful" stuff. A frosty at Jimbo's will do just fine. Go to the sites of the manufacturers of your equipment. Many have on-line manuals. Generally, access to these documents is limited, as you'd expect, to registered

What kind of manuals are you interested in? Machine operation manuals? Technical manuals? Production process? If you have an "in-house" print shop, maybe you can arrange to have these manual duplicated. I used to do this before. Talk to your boss abo

I don't care about any of that stuff!!! I like it when people can read "technical [shop] English" [Actually, reading any English is good, for that matter]. It's a real bonus when they can think clearly enough to solve day-to-day problems. Coming t

You would be better served to check your print quality as you run. Any problems caused by dirty stencils ( plugged aps etc ) would show up right away as a defect. Search the forum for more on this subject. I seem to recall the same subject coming up

So, yer lookin' to detect a ~25um glob on the wall of the aperture on yer stencil, eh? Why not wash your stencils before you put them away? That's what we do. Give 'em a quick looksee, then rack 'em, if they're clean. Give 'em anudda looksee befo

Dave, We have very short runs (less than one hour). We have stencils all over the place waiting to be cleaned. It is too time consuming to scope each stencil to inspect for cleanliness. Do you know of any automated or scanning devices that can ra
