I have always gone with blade length equal to board width plus 2 inches - 1 inch either side. Is there any technical reason that I could not use a longer blade, say 2.5 inches on either side?

When you increase the blade length you have to use much solder paste. As a result, we will dry-out extra quantity of solder paste. If it's not a problem then you can use longer blades, just change/adjust the process parameters.

Important mainly for consistency of pressure across the entire board length... But also quite abusive of stencils to use longer blades. Especially since (most people) when using the longer blades will bump the pressure up even higher to minimise th

Probably depends on the model. We have DEK Horizon and we sometimes place 2 images on the same sheet (in the Y dimension. It's not possible for the X dimension). Just make sure that there's enough space for a paste roll and squeegees between the imag

The DEK248 we had at one time was pretty compact but it did not have automated alignment- just a semi-manual camera/monitor stencil alignment process.

Dear C.K. I agree. The older style "generic" evaporators are cumbersome. However, you should checkout the new Model EZ-0 Wastewater Evaporator. It is made by Smart Sonic specifically for the SMT industry and addresses all of the maintenance relate

SPM-AV is a very versitle printer. I have one that is currently handling a 23.5 X 16.1 inch board. The print stroke has been increased to 21.3 icnhes. Again, very flexible machine. We may have two for sale if interested. Email me at idwitheld@com
