I work for a CEM. We are having some quality issues with some pcb's that came from China. (I know, big surprise) Can anyone with pcb manufacturing experience look at some pictures I have and give me an opinion as to what could go wrong in the pcb man

Just my opinion: Top pic - Solder mask registration WAY too far off, without a doubt I would reject. Bottom pic - I would worry that there was/is a contamination that caused the poor looking mask. This may be cosmetic only, but unknown. I would rej
