Printing with adhesives is no big deal so don't let the sales types try to mystify the process and convince you that they have the only stencils/adhesives/knowledge that can possibly get you through this "trying time" - at a price. Start with 0.010"

The solder paste formulation is different 63/37 is a tin lead alloy so t here is one difference from a lead free. Yes you can get no clean lead free products but if you compare the amount of visible residues they will be normally higher. So far most

want to know the tolerance the paste height in the solder paste printing. for example if stencil thickness is 7 mil, what will the acceptance level of paste height ( upper and lower) kindly share if any guidelines or formula for the same

i want to know what is the ideal viscosity of solder paste before printing. i have brookfield viscosity meter with Spiral Spindle.

Potential impacts of using expired solder paste are [University of Bolton]: * Changed paste rheology. Result: poor print quality * Loss of solvents. Result: reduced flux activity * Changed flux formulation. Result: More difficult to clean flux residu

It's unusual to use a horseshoe shaped pad for a 0805. Commonly when people want to reduce the paste volume to reduce solder balling, they print a "home plate" aperature. We print paste 1:1 with the pad. �IPC-7351 LP Wizard� is the library mainten

We have tried other stencils with different size openings but this company will not allow us time or money to run any experiments to define stencil criteria and printer settings, its just run, run, run. They really dont care about post reflow yields.

We use water soluble solder paste. When it gets a little dried out, can we add something to rejuvenate it? Liquid flux? We do not place components, just print and reflow the solderpaste so solderballs, spattering, and other issues like those are of

How far from apertures is the label supposed to go? I'd say 1 inch is plenty. 3/4 inch might be plenty also. Do you have the ability to measure paste height? I'd say place the label on one board and print two. Is there an appreciable differenc

Thank you, this was exactly the type of guidance that I was hoping for!
