Make sure the solder paste is fresh. Make sure the solder paste has been brought to room temperature before printing. Check the squeegee blade edge to make sure it is not worn. Check the angle of the squeegee blade to make sure it meets specifications. Check the squeegee blade pressure. Clean the bottom of the stencil after each use. Confirm the aperature size is correct on the stencil. Verify the metal content and particle size of the paste is correct.
