Yes. Infact for fast turnaround stuff the LPI method is much quicker also. What with no screen to print because they just flood the lot.
Many years ago I worked also on the prototyping. Design the boards then go make them yourself. Always used LPI....if there was silkscreen that is.
Must say the inking processes are very mucky though.....hated it myself.....ha ha.

Subject: Re: [DC] Silk-screening component legends
It depends on where you get your boards made...
But it has been my experience here in the San Diego area that most board shops that we deal with have long since changed over to the LPI method of applying the component legends. The silk screening process does not have the same level of fine feature resolution and registration to the board pattern that the LPI affords the board manufacturer. If you require smaller text and thinner lines they get very good results from the white LPI. And as far as I know, there is no substantial cost differential between the processes.

Infact don't you all think that whilst all other processes have been developed etc etc... Silkscreening has been left behind as a kind of dated process?
