We are a manufacturer of solder masks. It is generally agreed that a
matte solder mask will have less solder balls with no clean fluxes. A
matte surface solder mask is also easier for inspection purposes.

Greetings!

We are relatively new to the SMT assembly business.  Our  vendor
wants to switch from a glossy to a matte surface  soldermask to
eliminate a process problem on their end.   Are there any issues we
need to consider? I seem to recall  a discussion about solder balls hating
matte finish.

Thanks
