We currently HASL before nomen, but our technicians have made comments   
that sometimes the nomen interferes with inspection. If it is a busy   
board with lots of nomen, the white patterns can act as a camouflage to   
the defect. The eyeball can't seem to process the information it is   
receiving.

What is the most common practice:

Silkscreen idents before or after HASL?

I would appreciate any comments on this.
