Smart-Release nano layer stencil coating is said to reduce the frequency required for under-screen cleaning on the printer. Test results demonstrated that over 40 prints before cleaning can be reached, reportedly with no deterioration in print quality or bridging. Helps solder paste separate more easily from the stencil, with less contamination on the underside. Apertures and component edges are cleaner. Comes on all types of stencils, including laser cut, electroformed, NicAlloy, and chemically etched.
