Hi John,
Planar microvoids are indeed a reliability issue. Their connection to ImAg 
has been shown to require what was termed "the perfect storm" of a rather 
contrived combination of parameters. [ See Engelmaier, W., “Voids in Solder Joints—
Reliability,” Global SMT & Packaging, Vol. 6, No. 1 [EU Edition], December 
2005/January 2006, pp. 44-45 & Cullen, Donald P., “Avoiding Microvoids,” 
Assembly, September 2005.]
