  • Abstract
    An effective stencil printing operation is essential for quality SMT assembly. This can be achieved only by thorough operator training in all aspects of the printing process. The operator must have a working knowledge of solder paste, paste quality testing, and handling. He/she must understand all aspects of printer setup, and the effects of setup deficiencies. Postprint inspection by the operator is critical in verifying print quality, as is maintenance of effective SPC monitoring
