Ken -
If you are interested in printing glue, there are a number of articles out
there on the subject.  I wrote about it in my column (On The Forefront,
Circuits Assembly, Dec. 1995) as it is a methodology that has been used for
many years in a lot of facilities.  MPM Corp. has also produced a number of
articles and guidelines as has Heraeus and other adhesive manufacturers.
Of course there are a number of caveats - you must have a flat, planar surface
(no protruding leads, etc.) and clean-up can be a bit more cumbersome.  You
should also contact Camelot (as well as Asymtek, Creative Automation) for
"their side of the story" and the advantages of auto-dispensing.
