I had spoken to a PCB supplier FAE a couple of weeks back and he was mentioning that awhile ago he knew of a situation where a PCB had a problem with black pad and the customer thought it was poor supplier process control. But when the product was moved to a PCB house that had been doing this finish and had never had black pad before tried to build these same PCB's now had a black pad problem. If this is the case then couldn't black pad be tried back to a design and process mismatch? Anyone else know of any further such stories? Is this a possibility?
