The cause of the smear.
Down-stop on MPM printers
• Normal Setting: 1.9 - 2.2 mm

#45°

Down-stop: 1.9 mm

• Bad Downstop

< 45°
Down-stop: 1.9 mm
Down-stop: 4 mm
Bad Down-stop Effect...

Poor Solderpaste rolling

Bad apertures filling

Insufficient deposit in small apertures.

Sticky on blades phenomenon with short height’s
