HI We start to make a product which have a 0.4 mm pitch IC and start having problems with not enough solder printed, to solve this problem we had to increase the manual cleaning, now we are cleaning the stencil every 8 printings, before we was runnin

It depends on the flux type. If it's water soluble, it should be cleaned soon after reflow because OA flux remains active after reflow. If it's rosin or no-clean (low-residue), then the only concern is the longer wait time, the more difficult it will

Just to add to what dave said, the only limitation to how frequently you clean is the cost of the cleaning medium. You can wipe every board if you want to, but you'll go through material accordingly. If you're printing 16mil pitch or smaller, cleani

We are using so called no-clean fluxws for our small batch production, however the results are not always very visualy pleasing with white powdery deposits being the norm. I would like advise on the best avenue to explore for a small batch cleaning s
