Dear Technet, For a small shop without automation or ppr, what is a standard time acceptable to plate moderate to low difficulty double- sided boards to 1 mil with a standard acid copper plating solution? Our vendor can offer us a different brightner system, etc., I was just looking for a norm. We can make adjustments to speed our cycles, but we give up even distribution.
