Hi All I have had a query from someone who has a very dense board with lots of 0603 passives , for legend to mark these 0603's instead of an ink box drawn around the component they used an ink dot or line drawn between the pads this then leaves more room for the Ref Des. The board shop has reported that placing any ink between the pads may cause tombstoning has anyone had any experience with this.
