| In the early days, we used screens made of stainless steel or polyester. Sometimes - after A period - the tension was not good, because A wire was broken. | Later on we started to us metal stencils, glued in A polyester screen. even than we had som

| | Cpk's on top flight ovens (e.g., Conceptronics, Heller, Electrovert, Vitronics) vary wildly, from 1 to 2+, between different supplers. The suppliers don't seem to understand Cpk's. A supplier's rep whose oven has a Cpk of 1.0 told me: | | 1. C
