A diagonal image would fit but I can't print it (unless I use a  carrier).  I have proposed panelization with the PCBs rotated about 20 degrees, gets me into the working range.  I'll check with Great Lakes Stencils first though...

Is there a possibility of fitting the image inside the stencil if placed diagonally?

Subject: [TN] 29"x29" stencil frame, extra long PCB? (24")

Hey Technet

One of our customers has thrown me a curve ball, a simple LED board but they want it LONG.  24" long.

We aren't looking at building enough to justify any new equipment, so the challenge is can I build it with what we have, and we can - except for the stencil.  Our stencil guys say the max they can fit onto our stencil is 23".  We are using 29x29 frames (not adjustable, can not go larger, not buying a new screen printer).

Anyone know of a stencil supplier who can fit a 24" image on a stencil with a 29"x29" frame?
