The printer should be responsible for the quality of the solder paste on the printed boards, and cannot pull down the boards with tin, less tin, or more tin.
2. Steel mesh protection
Printers should be careful when using and installing the stencil. The mixing knife should not be placed on the stencil to prevent the stencil and the scraper from being damaged when the scraper is pressed down. Special attention should be paid to the placement of thimbles, and other sundries except thimbles cannot be placed under the steel mesh.
3. Stencil cleaning and storage

Then dry the PCB with an air gun. For PCBs with gold fingers, special attention should be paid not to immerse the board in the board washing water, only to wipe with a cloth or paper dipped in the board washing water, and not to wipe the gold finger part. Gold fingers should not be stuck with solder paste.
6. Printing machine cleaning
The printer should clean the printing machine at any time to keep the body clean, especially not to have solder paste or prints everywhere.
7. Steel mesh installation
For stencil installation, the printer should pay attention to one-time installation in place, and master the installation skills and methods, especially the fixing of PCB, which must be fixed well to increase the repeatability of printing.
