Daniel,
I suggest one of the first things you try is switching over to metal
squeegee blades. It sounds like you're getting a lot of "scavenging" from
the rubber squeegee blades (where the blade is conforming down into the
stencil aperture and scooping paste out).
From personal experience I would recommend "Permalex" metal blades.
Regards,
Martin
