Foolproof!  Not sure if there is such a thing;

- Eliminate the use of screen printed legend unless you really, really need
it.  Most boards are so dense these days that it is next to useless anyway.
- Train your CAD librarian or whomever to design proper footprints/outlines
to begin with.
- If it really is an ongoing issue with your fab shop, find another
- Legend on SMD pads is an IPC violation so if you are spec'ing a build to
IPC requirements then, as with the note suggested below, you have a case for
an RMA but this is the last course of action you would want to take as it
costs everyone involved time and money.

Good luck,
John

Sure do. We have a note on the drawing that states in essence: "There
SHALL be no silkscreen on any solderable land site..." Works all the time,
and give you the rejection wording just in case.

Good day.
