Your board manufacturer should take care of this for you.
Being involved in the photo dept and plotting end of board
manufacturing we do not allow screening to land on any pad or surface
mount area.
To avoid this
- using your plotter ,plot your soldermask as a negative on top of your
silk screen
-on the cam ,use the clear silkscreen option using appropriate mask to
clear yor silk
-in darkroom shoot a negative of your silkscreen and a positive of the
soldermask. merge them togeather using a contact in the dark room
you will be left with a positive of your silkscreen with pad and surface
mount free of ink.(the old but still works way)
