I'm curious, who told you ENIG is not good for press-fit?

We have not experienced any problems with ENIG/ Press-fit (after
adjusting drill size to get finished hole size to spec).

Please elaborate,

thanks

Further to this, I found a panel discussion which lists Immersion Ag and
OSP
has issues with the Press-fit compatibility, and there was no mention of
ENIG compatibility with press fit. Is this because it's a given that you
just don't use ENIG for press fit? What was the reason why Imm-Ag was
found
incompatible with Press-fit while other sources have stated otherwise?

Can anyone shed some light on this??
