Darren, Dennis,
Roughly what is it that you guys typically pay for a screen? We get
ours (typ. 15x15 in. or 20x20 in. stainless/cast frame) on a 3 day turn for
$380 CDN (approx. $320US). However that may be priced for at least moderate
value sales. We probably purchase about 30 - 50 screens per year.
We buy screens for any prototype that's complex (SMT comp count > 200,
lots of fine pitch) or pretty much anything that has a good chance of making it
to full production.
Sincerely,
Brad Velander

Hi Don,
The stencil is a huge cost, all the protos I do, the
paste is placed manually. Not sure many could afford
the cost of the stencil for small runs. If you can,
then its not that hard to screen the paste on yourself.
Also then you only pay for what you use, I like to keep
a spare board unloaded, and without paste.
Regards,
Darren Moore
