Have you tried to bake the boards before you process them?

The first impression I get is that the mask was applied over dirty or contaminated copper. What is the trace and land finish on the PCB? You also appear to have a wetting problem.

It is Solder Mask on Bare copper, The land finish is HASL as per MIL-PRF-55110G which accepts trace of HASL as acceptable. Wetting is acceptable. regards, R.Saravanan

I can't picture much of what you're saying, not for nothing, I'm just not connecting. During assembly, solder mask can affected by heat and chemicals. Typically this would be during: * Soldering * Cleaning I will tell you this: Not to defend assem

Ok lets put it this way. If the PCB house used a high quality mask and properly applied it to a properly cleaned surface and properly cured it, then as Dave stated above there are only two things that can destroy it. Excessive heat and overly aggress

Does anyone use the "Quick Frame" with their Dek printer? The threads on the screws keep stripping, so we thought maybe we'd send our frames to a machine shop for heftier screws. Has anyone done this? Is there a better way? Isn't it weird how Alpha k
