We are a facility that builds several different SMTcircuit card assemblies
(50+).  Presently we are in search of a way of possibly improving throughput
from our screen printing operations.  During the evaluation of this process
we've concluded that the screening of (1) individual cca  at a time contributes
to our problem.  Several of our assemblies are screened in a 10-12 up panel
(12"x18") while others are single boards approx 3"x5".  It's the printing of a
single board which presents a problem.

  Our question; Is there anyone who is fixturing multiple single boards and
printing several with one pass on a screen printer?


Note: Unless someone has existing experience, we are not anticipating using this
process for fine pitch (i.e. 25 mil or less)

Any response is appreciated,
