For anyone interested, or not, My client followed my dumb ass suggestion to use one of my "qualified" suppliers. My client now is frustrated. Wonder why? One of the best little board shops sent some "good" boards back with a required xsection slug with no photos. As dear Susan says at Robisan, we don't send photomicrographs with good boards. I say please do it anyway because we need to keep records, and train our people what looks good or bad even though we are not as HIGHLY qualified as the lab. My client asked for a photomicrograph from our supplier. The response was: what's a photomicrographs? I'm going back to my cave. What the hell is going on outside will no longer concern me as you all keep asking what's wrong with quality and suppliers these days.
