> The problem I'm seeing is that the stencil tends to warp around apertures, particularly in areas like fine pitch QFPs, where there are long apertures close together, and the remaining material is a thin strip. This warp makes the stencil act thicker and allow more paste to be deposited, leading to bridges in the fine pitch QFPs.
