Hello Raj,

We use a Kapton stencil from KJ Marketing. They work great. The release is far better than stainless and the other benefits are:
-greater contrast visually from the paste (thus easier to spot plugging)
-virtually no sag, therefore, better contact to pcb.
-same or less cost than stainless.

Try 'em out.

Hi Technetters,

Is there anyone out there using polymer stencils for printing solder paste? I would be interested if someone can share their experiences in printing with these stencils.

Regards

Raj
