Peter,
        I a previous life I did several evaluations of conductive adhesives as a solder replacement.  You will find that the adhesive should print as well as solder paste if you double the print speed.  Other than for that, it prints the same.  I need to qualify it be saying that I did not print fine pitch components, but I don't think this should prove to be a problem.  If you want to talk about any other results, I have a few horror stories that I can share.

Hello Technet,

Can someone share their experience on Pros/cons (in particularly process
implication) of applying conductive adhesive Vs solder paste? We have a
request by one customer to investigate conductive adhesive (stencil print
compatible) as a potential substitute for Pb-Sn solder and eventually lead-
free.

Rgds,

Peter
