[This message is converted from WPS-PLUS to ASCII] DuPont has sold over 100 automatic laminators (ASLs) over the last decade. Sixty percent of these were originally equipped with wet lamination capability. Although, the number of PCB fabricators using wet lamination is small, this is misleading because wet lamination: * Should only be used in print and etch. * In practice is only used in fine line acid print and etch. * Is mainly used by large fabricators. In reality, the amount of resist that is wet laminated for acid print and etch is much higher than responses to TechNet would indicate. >From our view, wet lamination clearly improves conformation, which reduces opens and nicks for print and etch. Most shops would prefer not to use wet lamination because of the performance and equipment related problems that can occur. However, the bottom line is that for some fine line fabricators, yields are higher with wet lamination.

Here's the second part: Most Automated Cut sheet laminators I've come across are Dry Lamination versus Wet. Does anyone run a Cut Sheet Laminator using the Wet Lamination process or are all Automated Cut Sheet Laminators Dry Lamination? It would explain why the overwelming responses did not use Wet, if the last statement is true. Please advise.
